If someone walked through the crowd at Cowan Spectrum in the opening minutes of Idaho vs North Dakota and asked fans who they thought would win, the responses likely wouldn’t have been uplifting.
After watching a disheartening loss to Northern Colorado Thursday night, it was assumed the Vandals would either fall or fly against the Fighting Hawks.
On paper, the contest looked like a clear victory for the Vandals but the paper doesn’t give the whole story.
The statistics can’t foresee a team coming out of the gate ice cold while the other finds a way to get all its shots to fall.
