MOSCOW, Idaho – The Idaho men's basketball team hosts its final exhibition game before the regular season begins, as the Vandals take on Yellowstone Christian College on Thursday at 6 p.m.

The exhibition against the Centurions will be the second and final preseason game for Idaho. The Vandals earned a 73-56 win over Evergreen State College last Friday. Three Vandals reached double figures on the night, with transfer guard Mikey Dixon's 22 points leading the way. Junior Philip Pepple Jr. pitched in a double-double with 14 points and 15 rebounds while Rashad Smith added 13 points.

Freshmen Tanner Christensen and Ethan Kilgore will also return for the Vandals, as the two appeared in a combined 43 games a season ago.

The Vandals will welcome Long Beach State for the inaugural regular-season game at the Idaho Central Credit Union (ICCU) Arena on November 10. Idaho will play 15 home contests this season, including the Battle of the Palouse on Thursday, November 18.
