A great season came to a lackluster conclusion on Saturday.
The Vandals (19-13, BSC 13-6) fell to Northern Colorado (25-6, BSC 15-3) by a score of 91-69 in the Big Sky tournament final.
Idaho’s season came to an end after being beaten at their own game. Northern Colorado more than doubled Idaho’s production from beyond the arc. The Vandals finished 6-16 from 3-point range, but the Bears hit an astonishing 14 threes on 25 attempts.
The game remained close throughout the first quarter, with both teams trading the lead until a Northern Colorado three gave the Bears the lead at the end of the quarter.
