The season came to an end on March 11, 2009 when the Ducks lost to Washington State in the first round of the Pac-10 tournament at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, 62–40. There were speculations that coach Ernie Kent would be fired after the season, however, he was retained as head coach.

Oregon's miserable 8-23 overall record and 2-17 record vs Pac 10 opponents remains widely regarded as the worst team in Oregon men's basketball history.
