The 2021-22 season proved to be a good one for the Zips. Under Keith Dambrot, there were quite a few squads that had a great regular season, only to fall in the conference tournament, especially at the end of his tenure. This squad got a bit of karmatic justice, compiling a solid 24-10 record before securing the conference’s automatic bid in the postseason, playing well in a close opening round loss to UCLA.
While the Zips did lose standout Ali Ali to the transfer portal, and others to graduation, the 2022-23 season looks promising.
There are a variety of new faces that look promising, and quite a few old ones that return.
