Dee Glen Smith Spectrum...
Is a tough venue to play and win the game. The Vandals will have to bring their A+++ game if they expect to win.
UCSB is a really solid team and Idaho did some really good things. Landon Tatum had 10 assists and 0 turn-overs while as a team the Vandals had 18 assists and only 5 turnovers, 3 of which occurred late in the game. Meanwhile, Idaho's FG % was greater than 50% and was 8 of 18 from long-range.
If the Vandals can be as efficient as they were against UCSB its possible for them to beat USU in Logan.
Idaho can win this game
Idaho is more athletic than Utah State and this game will come down to shooting, if the Vandals play up to their ranking of 21st best FG percentage in the nation then they will win, if not they lose. Two teams, same philosophy, it should be a heck of a ball game. Go IDAHO!
I agree
If the Vandals minimize turn-overs and exercise the patience in handling the ball against USU they will get assists and good looks at the basket and make more than 50% to put the Aggies away.
