The Idaho men’s basketball team (17-11) hosts Eastern Washington (16-11) at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Memorial Gym in a pivotal Big Sky meeting.
Prediction: Idaho 69 – Eastern Washington 78
The Vandals enter Saturday’s matchup in desperate need of a win to remain in the hunt for a first round bye in the conference tournament next month. Unfortunately, Idaho is facing an Eastern Washington program that has won seven of its last eight games, which includes four consecutive games with 90 or more points. While the Vandals have been consistent on defense lately, the team will have trouble stopping the offensive attack of the Eagles.
