The 1971–72 Idaho State Bengals men's basketball team represented Idaho State University during the 1971–72 NCAA University Division basketball season. Led by first-year head coach Jim Killingsworth, the Bengals played their home games on campus at the ISU Minidome in Pocatello.
Idaho State finished the regular season at 14–12 overall, with a 8–6 record in the Big Sky Conference, runner-up to champion Weber State.[1] The conference tournament debuted four years later, in 1976.
Junior center Ev Fopma was named to the all-conference team; junior guard Edison Hicks was on the second team, while guard Jerry Sabins, forward Mike Solliday, and forward Nick Ysusra were honorable mention.[2][3][4]
On Saturday, March 11, the two-year-old Minidome hosted a pair of first-round games in the West regional of the 25-team NCAA tournament.[5][6]
