Vandals Win, Sanders Tops 1,000
MOSCOW, Idaho – It was an electric night in the Cowan Spectrum, as Idaho (12-10, 7-4 BSC) took down Sacramento State (7-14, 4-6), 81-67, on Saturday night. Victor Sanders stole the show yet again, finishing with 31 points to cross over 1,000 point in his career, the 16th Vandal to do so.
THE GAME
Idaho jumped out to an early lead on the back of Arkadiy Mkrtychyan. Mkrtychyan scored Idaho's first 10 points, on 5-of-5 shooting, before Sanders hit his first 3-pointer of the night. The Vandals would get up by as many as 19 in the first half, on a ferocious slam by Nate Sherwood, but the Hornets would fight their way back to make things interesting late.
