"The 1962\u201363 Idaho Vandals men's basketball team represented the University of Idaho during the 1962\u201363 NCAA University Division men's basketball season. The independent Vandals were led by third-year head coach Joe Cipriano, and played their home games on campus at the Memorial Gymnasium, in Moscow, Idaho. In his only season with the Vandals, forward/center Gus Johnson was a Northwest sensation, and led the team to a 20\u20136 (.769) record. Under the NCAA rules of the era, junior college transfers that had previously attended a four-year college were not allowed to play in tournaments during their first season at the new (third) school. At the Far West Classic in Portland in late December, Idaho lost two of three games without him. With Johnson on the floor, the team was 19\u20132 (.905) entering the final weekend, but dropped two in Seattle. Led by leading scorer Chuck White and Johnson, the Vandals were at their best in their main rivalries from the old Pacific Coast Conference: 4\u20130 versus Oregon, 4\u20131 versus Palouse neighbor Washington State, and 1\u20131 against Washington. The primary nemesis was Seattle University, led by guard Eddie Miles, who swept all three games, half of UI's losses. Idaho dropped its only game with Oregon State at the Far West without Johnson, but won all three with Gonzaga, for a 9\u20133 record against its four former PCC foes and a collective 12\u20136 against the six Northwest rivals. In the last season before the Big Sky Conference, the Vandals were undefeated in ten games against those teams; this included a sweep of Idaho State for the King Spud Trophy and unofficial state title. Attendance at the Memorial Gym was consistently over-capacity, with an estimated 3,800 for home games in the cramped facility. A 94\u201357 rout of WSU on December 20 caused the region to take notice. The teams met nine days later in Portland without Johnson, and Idaho had to rally from behind to win by a point. Johnson and center Paul Silas of Creighton waged a season-long battle to lead the NCAA in rebounding. Silas claimed this by averaging 20.6 per game, 0.3 more than Johnson. In February, a low-profile article in Sports Illustrated introduced the team to the nation. Despite their record, the Vandals were not invited to the post-season. The NCAA tournament included only 25 teams and Oregon State and Seattle U. were selected from the Northwest. The NIT invited just twelve teams, with none from the Mountain or Pacific time zones. If Idaho had been invited, Johnson was ineligible to participate."@en . . . . "Eugene, Oregon"@en . "3700"^^ . . "Seattle"@en . . "Kozak"@en . . . . . . "Mattis"@en . . . "Sat, Mar 2"@en . "80"^^ .
