The Cougars were 6–20 overall in the regular season and 2–12 in conference play, last in the standings.[2] The two conference wins were both at home: Stanford in early January in Raveling's Pac-8 debut,[3][4][5][6] and Oregon State in March.[7][8] This was the last season for varsity basketball at Bohler Gym;[2] the Performing Arts Center (now Beasley Coliseum) opened in June 1973.[9]
Raveling was hired in April 1972; he was previously an assistant at Maryland under Lefty Driesell,[10][11] and led the Cougar program for eleven seasons.[12]
