Momentum is everything at this point in the season and right now the Vandals have that edge. The reigning Big Sky champs do not have the grit they once did. Idaho will come into the game ready to win and continue its hot streak on the road to Reno.
If Idaho basketball wants to punch a ticket to the big dance, wins over struggling Big Sky teams like North Dakota are a must. The Vandals already rolled over the Fighting Hawks in late December, so expect a blowout in the Cowan Spectrum.
