M. Basketball Commentary: Something in the water
All Sports Feb 3, 2017 Meredith Spelbring -Many things could be said about Idaho’s 89-72 take down of Portland State. It would be easy to talk about the fact that the Vandals held a 21-point lead over the Vikings. It would also be easy to say they went 53.8 percent from beyond the arc with 14 3-pointers, a record tie under Idaho head coach Don Verlin in Division I who had 14 in 2008 at South Dakota State.
While all of those facts are impressive, something still managed to top the list.
I am a full believer in the importance of a strong bench and not putting the entire spotlight on one player. This is one of the reasons Idaho basketball games, both men and women, are so entertaining to watch.
