After countless lead changes, the Idaho men’s basketball team lost out on a close battle Tuesday night in Memorial Gymnasium 83-80.
Freshman guard Cameron Tyson proved nearly unstoppable in the second half, finishing the game shooting 6-9 from the 3-point range.
A trey with just over 30 seconds left in the game put Idaho within a point of a tie. He hit another critical 3-pointer that put Idaho within two points with 0.2 seconds left. Tyson put up 22 total points and finished as the Vandals’ leading scorer.
Idaho Head Coach Don Verlin, who leads a team without many of last year’s seniors, said he sees promise in Tyson’s big night.
