LAST TIME OUT: The Vandals defeated the Wildcats of Weber State, 68-62, to move into second in the Big Sky standings.  The win was Idaho's first in Ogden since the 1990-91 season, a stretch of seven games.  Idaho got contributions from across the board, with five Vandals scoring in double-figures.  Nate Sherwood led the way with 15 points and 10 rebounds.
 
The Vandals trailed by as many as 10 in the first half, but battled to make it a five-point game at the break.  After a slow start to the second, Idaho was able to get going inside to take over the game.
 
PREVIOUS MEETING: Idaho defeated NAU, 84-80, in Flagstaff in January.  Brayon Blake was outstanding, finishing with 25 points and nine boards on the way to earning Big Sky Player of the Week honors.
 
NAU took a lead to start the second half, and couldn't seem to miss early on, but Blake was able to keep Idaho close while the rest of the squad found their rhythm.  The Vandals would get up, 54-53, midway through the half, and never looked back, holding off the Lumberjacks' late comeback effort.
 
STANDINGS: Idaho currently sits in second in the Big Sky standings, but has yet to lock up a first round bye.  One win for the Vandals, or one loss from either Northern Colorado or EWU, guarantees Idaho a bye in Reno.
 
The Vandals are also one of three teams still in contention for the Big Sky Regular Season Championship.  Idaho would need some help, however, and would need Montana to drop both games this weekend.
