In the regular season, Frank Oleynick made last seconds, winning baskets against Penn State, 62-60... St Mary's, 72-70... and Pepperdine 72-71 in overtime. None-the-less the Serattle Chieftains finished the year in the second division - 1974-1975. He also led all NCAA basketball players in free throw percentage - 135 of 152, a .888 pct.
