Members of the Big Sky Conference, the Wildcats were led by second-year head coach Neil McCarthy and played their home games on campus at Wildcat Gym in Ogden, Utah. They were Шаблон:Nowrap overall in the regular season and Шаблон:Nowrap in conference play.[1][2]

Weber State was second in the regular season standings and qualified for the four-team conference tournament, hosted by Idaho State in Pocatello.[1][3] The Wildcats won their semifinal by a point over underdog Шаблон:Nowrap and advanced to the final again, this time to host Idaho State; the teams had split the season series with home wins. The trend continued as Idaho State won the tournament final at home by six points.[4] They advanced to the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight, upsetting #2 UCLA in the Sweet Sixteen. It remains the best-ever showing in the NCAA tournament by a Big Sky team.

Forward Stan Mayhew was named to the all-conference team,[5] center Jim Erickson was on the second team, and freshman guard Mark Mattos was honorable mention.[6][7]

Weber State appeared in the first five finals of the conference tournament, and won the next three (1978, 19791980).

This was the last season in Wildcat Gym (now Swenson Gym); the new Dee Events Center opened in November 1977.
