Idaho may be in luck after a tough three game conference road trip.
The Vandals (6-10, BSC 2-3) will take on the Southern Utah Thunderbirds (3-13, BSC 2-3) on Thursday. There are a few big factors that could determine the outcome of the game.
Idaho has established an identity as a 3-heavy team, and Southern Utah’s defensive style could play right into the Vandals’ plans.
The Thunderbirds are dead last in the conference in 3-point field goal defense, allowing opponents to make over 36 percent of their attempts from beyond the arc. Idaho has shot 38.8 percent from three over their past four games, so look for the Vandals to put a renewed emphasis on shooting from deep.
