From the moment the Idaho men’s basketball team walked on to the court, something was different.
At first it was not a good kind of different. Everyone’s eyes went to junior guard Victor Sanders, who was not in uniform.
A tough game on senior night and one of the better players in program history was sidelined. I don’t think I was the only one who felt immediately pessimistic about the Vandals chances to pull the upset over top ranked Weber State.
Both teams went hard in the paint. It was a back and forth game that had the crowd on the edge for the full 40 minutes of regulation and beyond in the overtime period.
