I don't understand this sentence.

Hi guys,

I'm reading a English book, but English is not my first language. I don't know what this sentence below means, especially 18 and 5.

Here it comes: " The basketball team was eighteen and five last year." Could you explain this to me?

Thank you very much Emotion: big smileD

They play in a league with other teams. They had a very good season if they only lost five games out of the 23. They won 18 games!
