The defensive determination of the men’s basketball team proved to be a major key Thursday night as the team defeated Southern Utah 68-44 Thursday in Cedar City.
The victory marked Idaho’s seventh road win and improves the team’s record to 6-4 in the Big Sky Conference and 14-9 overall.
Despite playing without lead guards Perrion Callandret and Victor Sanders, the Vandals put on a strong offensive performance. Six different Vandal players scored at least eight points.
Senior guard Chris Sarbaugh ended the night with eight points and shot 4-5 from the field.
Sarbaugh led the Vandals in rebounds with six, as Idaho outrebounded Southern Utah 37-23.
