PREVIEW: Idaho lost at Weber State, 91-66, last time out.  The Wildcats were on fire from deep, hitting 14 3-pointers on the night.  Idaho led early, but Weber State took over midway through the first half and steadily built its lead to 15 points at the break.  The Wildcats came out hot in the second to take the commanding lead they would not relinquish.  Idaho State is 0-3 in Big Sky play after falling to Eastern Washington on Thursday night.
 
LAST MEETING: Idaho defeated Idaho State, 82-68, on Senior Night last season.  Victor Sanders was exceptional, scoring 25 points on 9-of-19 shooting.  Nate Sherwood and Chad Sherwood each finished in double-figures as well, with 13 and 10 points, respectively.
 
HELP HIM OUT: Victor Sanders has stepped up as Idaho's top scorer this season, leading the team in 13-of-15 games so far.  However, Idaho has had its most success when others also get involved on the offensive end.  So far this year, Idaho is 6-3 in games when at least two players other than Sanders score in double-figures.  The Vandals are 4-1 in games that Nate Sherwood and Chad Sherwood combine to score over their season average as a duo and 5-1 in games that Ty Egbert scores at least five points.
