About Idaho (0-1)
The Vandals most recently opened the season at the University of Denver on Nov. 7. Idaho fought back from down 12 to make it a two-point game with 4:50 left in the second half, but the Pioneers ultimately willed their way to a 68-63 opening night win. A key to the game was the difference in free-throw shooting and the Vandals' inability to knock down shots from behind the arc. Denver shot 17-of-33 from the line compared to 7 of 11 by Idaho. The Vandals went 6 for 30 from the three-point line. 

Four Vandals secured double-digit points in the game, including a team-high 15 points from forward Isaac Jones. Vanderbilt transfer Terren Frank added 11 points and seven rebounds, while guards Divant'e Moffitt and Trey Smith each posted 10.
