† Conference tournament winner As of July 10, 2011[1] Rankings from Coaches Poll[2] |
The Huskies were 11–16 overall in the regular season and 5–13 in conference play, eighth in the standings.[3] Last played in 1990, the conference tournament resumed this season, with eight teams qualifying. Washington drew top seed Oregon in the opening quarterfinal;[4] the teams had split the season series with home wins.[5][6] At the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the Huskies led by seven points at the half, but the Ducks dominated the second half and won by 22 points.[7][8]
Twelve days later, Bender was relieved of his duties by athletic director Barbara Hedges.[9][10][11] He was succeeded in early April by alumnus Lorenzo Romar,[12][13] the head coach at Saint Louis, who led the Husky program for fifteen seasons.
