College of Idaho Athletics

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.
