The 1941–42 Idaho Vandals men's basketball team represented the University of Idaho during the 1941–42 NCAA college basketball season. Members of the Pacific Coast Conference, the Vandals were led by first-year head coach Guy Wicks and played their home games on campus at Memorial Gymnasium in Moscow, Idaho.

The Vandals were 12–16 overall and 3–13 in conference play.[2] Center Ray Turner set the Northern Division scoring record with 192 points in sixteen games (12.0 ppg).[2][3]

Alumnus Wicks had returned to Moscow after a decade in Pocatello at the UI-Southern Branch.[4] He entered the U.S. Navy in late 1942 during World War II,[5] and returned to coach in the 1946–47 season.[6] In the meanwhile , the basketball program was led by acting athletic director James "Babe" Brown, who coached the freshmen this season.[5]
