M. Basketball: Free throws seal victory
Idaho finished with a victory in its last home game of the season against conference foe Weber State in the Memorial Gym.
Although the Vandals looked in control, leading the game for over 32 minutes, it took key free-throws from freshman guard Trevon Allen and junior forward Arkadiy Mkrtychyan to put away the Wildcats 83-78 in overtime.
The win propelled Idaho within one game of second place in the Big Sky. Meanwhile, Weber State dropped from second to third in Big Sky standings after Eastern Washington’s win over Idaho State Saturday.
“It’s always good to get a home win,” Idaho head coach Don Verlin said. “Definitely very nice to send these seniors out with a win, no question about that.”
