Men's Basketball

Feb. 4, 1914

Washington State College defeated Montana on the road, 71-11, to establish a record for margin of victory that still exists today. Everyone on the roster scored for the Cougars, led by Vic Anderson's 22 points.

The next day, WSC defeated Montana 43-22 to cap a long day for the Crimson and Gray on Montana's campus. A portion of The Daily Evergreen's account of WSC's day is as follows:

. . . afternoon of the second day, a blizzard caught them in the gym and they could not get back to town . . . after the game they were taken back to their hotel in a sleigh.
