RENO, Nev. - For the second straight season, Idaho will take on local rival Eastern Washington in the quarterfinals of the Big Sky Tournament. Tipoff is set for 8:05 p.m. from the Reno Event Center.
That is where the similarities end. This season, the Vandals enter the Big Sky Tournament as one of the hottest teams in the league. Idaho has won three straight and six of its last seven overall. Eastern Washington, on the other hand, dropped its final four regular season contests before taking down NAU in the first round on Tuesday.
This season, the Vandals and Eagles split the regular season series, with the home team winning each game.
