Although it was not as predictably dazzling, the Idaho men’s basketball team used a commanding second-half to roll past the Simon Fraser Clan in a 73-54 handling in its final non-conference home game of the season.
Simon Fraser (5-3), a Canadian Division II school and the only university outside of America in the NCAA, had literally nothing to lose Friday night in the Cowan Spectrum. It was only an exhibition game for the Clan, but they likely created some head-scratching and frustration from Vandal fans, players and coaches alike in the first half.
Idaho (7-3) began the contest as expected, with senior guard Victor Sanders scoring two quick buckets on what seemed to be simplistic maneuvers for the senior.
