PERFECT FROM THE FLOOR:
Scott Blakney went 7-of-7 from the floor on Sunday against Bethesda. He was the first Vandal to make at least seven shots without missing any since Kyle Barone went 10-of-10 against UT San Antonio during the 2009-10 season.
TYSON TAKES OVER: Cameron Tyson has been incredible for the Vandals so far this year. Prior to Tyson, only one true freshman at Idaho had ever hit five or more 3's in a game (Connor Hill). Tyson has done so in all three games this season.
More impressive is his shooting percentage. Tyson currently ranks in the top-100 in the country in field goal percentage, despite more than 75 percent of his attempts coming from beyond the arc. He also ranks sixth nationally in 3's per game (5.33).
GEM STATE STAND: Idaho will play five straight games in the Gem State. The stretch started with a close loss to Nicholls State last Tuesday night before a win over Bethesda on Sunday. The next two games will take place in Boise, before the Gem State Stand ends on Tuesday, Nov. 27, against West Coast Baptist.
