Saturday’s matchup against Eastern Washington is more than just a regular season meeting for the Vandals.
With three games remaining on the schedule, the Idaho men’s basketball team will be looking to sneak into one of the top four positions in the Big Sky standings to earn an automatic bye in the first round of the conference postseason tournament.
Earning a bye might prove difficult for Idaho head coach Don Verlin and the Vandals. The team currently sits a half game out of fourth place in the conference standings, but the team’s next three games are against a trio of Big Sky leaders.
