Rankings from AP Poll

The Redbirds finished the season 24–7, 13–5 in conference play to finish in second place. They were the number one seed for the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament as Wichita State University, who finished first in the conference season, were serving the second of a two-year probation and therefore prohibited from postseason competition. They won the championship game over the University of Tulsa.

The Redbirds won the conference autobid to the 1983 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament. They were assigned to the Mideast Regional as the number six seed and lost to Ohio University in the first round.
