What to Know

Things were close when Idaho and the Northern Colorado Bears clashed on Thursday, but Idaho ultimately edged out the opposition 84-82.

Idaho is now 10-17 while the Lumberjacks sit at 7-21. Two defensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Vandals have allowed their opponents to shoot 46.70% from the floor on average, which is the 14th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball.
