The Vandals may have struggled mightily prior to conference play, but that 4-7 record in non-conference play is quickly fading into unimportance.
Idaho dispatched North Dakota 78-64 Saturday night on the road. On paper, the Vandals and Fighting Hawks should be the same. They both sport 10-10 overall records, but that is about where the similarities end.
Idaho has started to dominate conference play, winning six of nine and each of their last four. North Dakota is only 3-6 in conference games.
Like any team that focuses on deep shooting, Idaho goes through hot and cold streaks both on the court and in the schedule.
