The 1985–86 Washington Huskies men's basketball team represented the University of Washington for the 1985–86 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. Led by first-year head coach Andy Russo, the Huskies were members of the Pacific-10 Conference and played their home games on campus at Hec Edmundson Pavilion in Seattle, Washington.
The Huskies were 19–11 overall in the regular season and 13–5 in conference play, runner-up in the standings, a game behind champion Arizona.[2][3] There was no conference tournament this season; it debuted the following year.
Washington went to the 64-team NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive year. Seeded twelfth in the Midwest regional, they lost to Michigan State in the first round in Dayton, Ohio.[4][5]
Following Marv Harshman's retirement in March 1985, Russo was hired a few weeks later; he was formerly the head coach at Louisiana Tech.[6][7]
