Seasons

The men's basketball team played eleven games in late 1920 and early 1921, finishing with a record of 4–7. It was the second year for coach Paul G. Chandler.

There was not yet an established nickname for teams for the college, and the school colors were the original orange and blue. Fred Shepard served as team captain with Ross Davis and Mike Jacobs as managers.[1]

Games were held in various locations, such as the atrium of the original Administration Building (known as Cartwright Hall since 2006), in the basement of the original heating plant, and in the local Congregational Church gymnasium, as a permanent gymnasium was not built on campus until 1925.[2][3][4][5]
