The Cal Poly Pomona men's basketball team completed its 2005-06 season with an overall record of 17-10 and a 13-7 in conference to place third in the CCAA. In spite of a three-game losing streak midway through the season, the Broncos surged in the latter half of the season, winning nine of its last 11 games.
The CPP offense had three players who averaged double-digit scoring averages for the season. Junior guard Dion Cook led the Broncos with 15.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and nearly 4.0 assists per game.

Defense was also a significant component of the Broncos this season, which held opponents to a conference-best .427 field-goal percentage and the second-lowest scoring average in the CCAA (67.2).
This season also marked the freshman year of forward Larry Gordon, who averaged 6.7 points, a team-best 5.7 rebounds and the team's second-best free throw percentage (.724) during his award-winning first year for the Broncos. Gordon would later lead the Broncos to the NCAA Championship game for the 2008-09 season.
