The season started out promising with senior sharp shooter Preston Shumpert on fire, carrying the team single handedly at times. When Shumpert wasn't scoring, junior DeShaun Williams was putting in the points. The team won the preseason NIT tournament with impressive wins over DePaul, Michigan State, and Wake Forest, and was 16-2 about half way through the season. They reached as high as #8 in the AP polls in mid-January.
However, after a January 19th loss to Tennessee the team began to fall apart. Personal issues off the court started to affect the play on the court, particularly between Shumpert and Williams, and the team would go 4-9 over the next thirteen games including a first round loss in the Big East tournament, dropping their record to 20-11. The team missed out on an NCAA bid, and wound up in the NIT tournament.
Shumpert was hot again in the post season, almost single handedly beating Butler in the second round of the NIT. Freshman Hakim Warrick started to emerge as a strong player with outstanding play in the tournament. The team put together three successful wins to get to the NIT Final Four. There the season ended with losses to South Carolina and Temple, as Shumpert was the only player to score consistently in both games.
A season that had shown so much promise, had quickly gotten out of hand.
