The team played its home games in the Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and was a member of the Big Ten Conference. Under the direction of head coach Tommy Amaker, the team finished tied for eighth in the Big Ten Conference.[1] The team earned a tenth seed and advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2002 Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Tournament.[2] The team failed to earn an invitation to either the 2002 National Invitation Tournament or the 2002 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.[3] The team was unranked for all eighteen weeks of Associated Press Top Twenty-Five Poll,[4] and it also ended the season unranked in the final USA Today/CNN Poll.[5]

The team established the school's single-season free throw percentage record of 75.4% (384–509), surpassing the 75.2% set in 1999. The record would last for six seasons.[8] The team also set the school's current single-game free throw percentage record of 100% on 16-for-16 shooting against Ohio State on March 2, 2002, surpassing the 15-for-15 performances set on February 21, 1987, and tied on March 8, 1990.[8]
