The Idaho women will play Utah State tonight at 7 p.m. at the Cowan Spectrum. The campus has been closed all day, but the Aggies and Vandals are going to do their best impression of the post office, going through with their game despite the weather. Brave the conditions and come on out. After a not so [...]

How about the game in Reno? The Vandal men rocked Saturday night, beating Nevada in Reno and picking up a crucial conference win on the road. It was a fabulous win for first-year coach Don Verlin and his squad. If possible, things will be even tougher tonight as the men take on Utah State in Logan. It’s the [...]

I can’t tell you how many times this past week I’ve had players and coaches from the Idaho men’s and women’s basketball teams asking me to ask people to come to their games. Neither Vandal team is going to win every game this season, but both teams have improved drastically and both are entertaining. They push [...]

The Idaho men face ISU tonight Pocatello in its final nonconference game of the year. Idaho doesn’t play well on the road (they are 1-5 away from Moscow), and the Bengals have played a pretty tough nonconference schedule this year, so it’s hard to know what to expect. The Vandal women lost to Portland last night in [...]

My bowl season got off to a great start last night as I watched the purple and black TCU Horned Frogs beat BSU by one. Now if Hawaii can pick up a win tonight my bowl season will be nearly perfect. The WAC basketball season is just about here and it’s looking like a pretty balanced conference. [...]

This Saturday and Sunday the Idaho men close out the pre-Christmas season hosting Texas Southern and Washington State. It would be easy for the Vandals to look past Texas Southern, a team that’s 0-10 and lost to Gonzaga 81-42 on Thursday. But that would be silly. Texas Southern has played No. 5 Texas tough - twice [...]

The Idaho men have been off for a week, but return to the court on Wednesday against South Carolina State, the team they lost to last week. On Saturday the Vandals host Texas Southern and Sunday will the 8 Mile Border Battle against Washington State. If that game is anything like the women’s game it will be [...]

I am pumped about the state of Idaho basketball. I just watched the women out-hustle, outrebound and out-play Pacific en route to a 61-51 win. The Idaho women looked tough and they played with poise and confidence. It was a fun, fun game to watch. The Vandal men didn’t beat South Carolina State, but they are playing hard, [...]

The Idaho men’s basketball team is on its last big road trip of the year - excluding WAC foe Hawaii. On Wednesday the Vandals play at South Carolina State. Idaho will then be home for three games before the Christmas break. The Vandals had an ambitious schedule this year, traveling to Michigan State and Gonzaga. There are only [...]

Thanks to Andy for pointing out that David Vobora is making his second start. I had my first day off of the fall last Sunday and I missed that one. I appreciate him keeping me honest. I nearly always feel bad when a coach is let go, and that stands true for former Utah State coach [...]
