The Idaho men’s basketball team survived yet again, chopping down Northern Arizona University (NAU) Lumberjacks with a late stand Thursday in a 77-75 victory.
With the win and a Weber State loss to Montana, the Vandals are much closer to a first-round bye in the Big Sky tournament, as they are tied for third in the conference.
Idaho led 25 points midway through the second half. A late 15-0 run by NAU over five minutes propelled the Lumberjacks to within one point with seven seconds remaining.
It took a block by junior forward Jordan Scott on a shot attempt from half-court to seal the victory.
