The 1983–84 Houston Baptist Huskies men's basketball team represented Houston Baptist University in the 1983–84 college basketball season. This was head coach Gene Iba’s seventh of eight seasons at HBU. The Huskies played their home games at the Sharp Gymnasium and were new members of the Trans America Athletic Conference. After finishing atop the conference regular season standings, the Huskies followed that success by winning the TAAC tournament to receive an automatic bid to the 1984 NCAA tournament – the only appearance in program history. Houston Baptist was beaten by Alcorn State in the play-in round[1] to finish the season 24–7, 11–3 in TAAC play. The Huskies led the league in field goal percentage[2] and, as of 2017, the 1983-84 team has the tenth-highest all-time season shooting percentage of an NCAA Division I team.[3] Of the team members, three (Fred Goporo, Bruno Kongaouin, and Anicet Lavodrama) represented the Central African Republic men's national basketball team at the 1988 Summer Olympics.
