Success on the perimeter seemed to be a trend for the Vandals in their 85-66 victory over the Southern Utah Thunderbird Thursday in Cedar City. It started bleak for Idaho until late in the second quarter. The Vandals started the game 3-15 from beyond the arc before catching fire late and hitting a school-record 18 3-pointers.
“I thought we were making some bad decisions with the ball, turning it over way too much,” Idaho head coach Jon Newlee said. “We got off to a little shaky start but then we settled in and got some good lucks.”
Southern Utah came out with strong both offensively and defensively.
