Reed Gym is a 3,214-seat multi-purpose arena in the western United States,^[1] on the campus of Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho. Opened 73 years ago in 1951, it is the home court of the ISU Bengals men's^[4] and women's basketball and volleyball teams of the Big Sky Conference. The home of the men's and women's tennis teams, Reed also serves as a student recreational center.^[5]

Prior to the opening of the ASISU Minidome (Holt Arena) in 1970,^[6]^[7]^[8] the men's basketball team played at Reed Gym and enjoyed considerable success in the 1950s under head coaches Steve Belko and John Grayson.^[9] In 1957, the gym was the site of the play-in game for the West Regionals of the NCAA tournament; the Bengals defeated Hardin-Simmons of Texas by nine points and improved their record to 25–2.^[10]^[11]^[12] When Gus Johnson and the Idaho Vandals visited in 1963, a capacity crowd of 4,900 saw the battle for the King Spud Trophy and unofficial state title.^[13]^[14]

Men's basketball returned to Reed full-time for the 2019–20 season, citing the "positive difference" created by the intimate environment.^[15]
