Idaho men’s basketball came out with intensity and efficiency against the border-rival Washington State in the 273rd Battle of the Palouse, and never once stumbled.
Idaho handed Washington State, a once undefeated Pac-12 team on the verge of an AP top-25 ranking, a 91-64 blowout loss in front of a large crowd Cowan Spectrum.
Just three days after forward Brayon Blake recorded 23 points, a career-high in scoring at Nicholls State, Blake once again put up a career mark. The senior dropped 26 points on 10-16 from the field and was perfect from deep, going 4-4.
The Idaho (6-2) offensive attack was fearsome early on, backed by what only could be described as a hyped environment.
