Under the direction of head coach Johnny Orr, the team tied with the Indiana Hoosiers for the Big Ten championship.[1][2] The team earned the first of four consecutive NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament invitations.[2]

Campy Russell and C. J. Kupec served as team captains, with Russell earning team MVP honors.[3] Russell, the Consensus second team All-American,[4] earned the Big Ten scoring championship with a 24.0 average in conference games.[5] He also won the Chicago Tribune Silver Basketball as Big Ten Most Valuable Player.[2] Orr was named Big Ten Coach of the Year.[2]
