The Idaho men’s basketball team is riding high after a buzzer-beater victory over Northern Colorado, with freshman Kolton Mitchell and senior Kyson Rose playing key roles. Mitchell made five three-pointers in the game, while Rose reached the 1,000-point milestone. With a 4-3 conference record and a No. 4 position in the Big Sky Conference, the Vandals are eager to continue their success against Northern Arizona University this Saturday.
In their previous matchup, Idaho defeated Northern Arizona 86-76, with strong performances from Julius Mims and Takai Hardy. The Vandals showed a slow start but improved in the second half, shooting well from beyond the arc and in the paint. Northern Arizona, on the other hand, boasts a 3-4 conference record and impressive statistics in scoring and rebounds, led by Trent McLaughlin and Carson Towt.
This weekend’s game will mark the 21st meeting between Idaho and Northern Arizona since 2015, with the Lumberjacks holding a slight advantage. However, the Vandals remain optimistic about their chances for a victory at home.
The game will take place at ICCU Arena in Moscow, Idaho, on Saturday, Jan. 25, at 12:00 PM PST. Vandal fans can watch the action live on ESPN+ and listen to the broadcast on The Varsity Network. Dennis Patchin will be calling the game, providing commentary for fans tuning in for what is expected to be an exciting matchup.
