Arguably the best men’s basketball team to ever play at the school. The squad, coached by Sam Vokes and led by R.C. Owens, Elgin Baylor, and Bill Kundrat, compiled a 23-4 record, including a perfect 15-0 mark in the Northwest Conference – a feat only accomplished twice in the 70-year history of the league. The Coyotes advanced to the NAIA District 5 championship game, losing to Montana State 78-76.
