They had to really earn it, but the Vandals officially became regular season Big Sky champions on Thursday.
Idaho (19-9, BSC 16-3) defeated Weber State 86-78 to secure at least a share of the Big Sky along with a top seed in the postseason tournament.
“It’s awesome to have clinched the regular season title for the first time in so long,” head coach Jon Newlee said. “The season is such a grind but it’s important for our kids to understand just how cool it is to endure that grind and achieve a regular season title and it’s extremely satisfying for our team.
