Defensive woes once again plagued the Idaho men’s basketball team in a 91-66 conference road loss to Weber State Thursday at the Dee Events Center.
The defending Big Sky champions were led by a sharpshooting performance from junior Dusty Baker and senior Jeremy Senglin, as the two guards combined for 32 points in the win.
Idaho (6-9 overall, 1-3 Big Sky) committed 16 turnovers and went 33 percent from the free throw line against the conference frontrunners. The Wildcats shot 58 percent from 3-point range and connected on 14 shots from beyond the arc.
After trading baskets to open the first half, Weber State (8-6 overall, 3-0 Big Sky) made a late offensive push with back-to-back 3-pointers from Baker at the top of the perimeter.
