Idaho finished its regular season with a win at Southern Utah, defeating the Thunderbirds 84-75. Following the win, Vandals secured a fourth-seed position and will kick off the tournament against No. 5 seed Montana.
Idaho head coach Don Verlin said he is proud of the way the team has fought through the season.
“I thought our ball moved extremely well,” Verlin said. “I could not be more proud of these guys. When we started this deal at 1-3, you would’ve never thought we’d be 12-6. We had one heck of a run and it’s just a tribute to the guys in the locker room.
