The Broncos earned one of 31 automatic bids to the national championship tournament by winning the West Coast Conference title. The Broncos advanced to the second round in 1999 before falling to finalist Stanford in four games. Additionally, West Coast Conference opponents Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount were placed in the draw. The top 16 teams were seeded nationally and placed within four regions. The squads tabbed as the top seeds in each region were undefeated Nebraska in the Central, USC in the Pacific, Wisconsin in the Mideast, and Hawaii in the West.
