Rankings from AP Poll

The 1922–23 Washington Huskies men's basketball team represented the University of Washington for the 1922–23 NCAA college basketball season. Led by third-year head coach Hec Edmundson, the Huskies were members of the Pacific Coast Conference and played their home games on campus in Seattle, Washington.

The Huskies were 12–3 overall in the regular season and 5–3 in conference play; tied for first in the Northern division.

Washington tied with Idaho in the North, so they met in a playoff game in Spokane,[2] which the Vandals won.[3][4][5][6] Born and raised in Moscow, Edmundson was a UI alumnus and former head coach.[2] California and Stanford tied for the Southern Division title, but since the Golden Bears had won three of four in the season series, the Cardinals opted out of a playoff and ceded the title.[7]
