The 1917–18 Idaho Vandals men's basketball team represented the University of Idaho during the 1917–18 college basketball season. The Vandals were led by second-year head coach Hec Edmundson and played their home games on campus at the Armory and Gymnasium in Moscow, Idaho.
The Vandals were 12–2 overall and 10–2 in Northwest Conference play.[1][2] Due to World War I, freshmen were allowed to play varsity sports and the Vandals had five in the starting lineup.
This was the final year at Idaho for alumnus Edmundson, a Moscow native (and an Olympian in track in 1912). He coached at Washington in Seattle for decades, starting in 1920.
