The Demons, led by 7th year head coach Mike McConathy, played their home games at Prather Coliseum and were members of the Southland Conference. They finished the season 26–8, 15–1 in Southland play to win the regular season title. They were champions of the Southland Conference tournament, winning the championship game over Stephen F. Austin, to earn an automatic bid to the 2006 NCAA tournament. As No. 14 seed in the Atlanta region, Northwestern State knocked off No. 3 seed Iowa by draining a corner three with time running out.[1] The Demons were then beaten by No. 6 seed West Virginia in the second round.[2]
