The following season, playing under new head coach Dave Magarity , Pecarski improved his scoring average to 12.4 points per game and led the team in rebounds with 8.4 boards per game, as the Red Foxes repeated the feat of making the NCAA tournament, but were again eliminated in the first round — this time by Pittsburgh .
