SEATTLE, Wash. – The team never quit. Never. Even down double-digits in the final minute against Seattle U in the opening game of the College Basketball Invitational on Wednesday night, Idaho kept fighting until the final horn. The game didn’t go their way, as Idaho fell 68-63, but this squad showed what it means to be Vandals.
“Our program took a huge step forward this year,” said head coach Don Verlin. “We lost four starters from last year and this team bought in to what we were teaching. They bought in to being Vandals and they made this season special.
