The Idaho men’s basketball team left the Memorial Gym Saturday with more than just a 66-62 victory over rival Eastern Washington.
The win for the Vandals keeps the team in the hunt for a first round bye in the Big Sky postseason tournament March 7.
“It’s a big win in the conference standings,” Idaho head coach Don Verlin said. “Our goal is to get a top four seed, and they were a game ahead of us…it was a huge game as far as that goes.”
The Eagles used an 8-0 run midway through the first half to take a 15-8 lead over Idaho.
