Sophomore guard Victor Sanders followed up a career night Thursday with 29 points Saturday evening against Southern Utah.
Despite the sophomore shooting 50 percent from 3-point range, Idaho fell to Southern Utah 85-83 after a tense overtime matchup.
“Well obviously we’re very disappointed,” Idaho head coach Don Verlin said. “I thought Southern Utah dictated the tempo of the game. I thought they played harder than we did.”
Southern Utah (5-11 overall, 2-3 Big Sky Conference) began the game with a shooting streak. The Thunderbirds shot 57.1 percent from the field and converted 4 of 7 shots behind the arc during the first twenty minutes of play.
