MOSCOW, Idaho – The Idaho Vandals women's basketball team (7-1) returns home to host its education day game and tipoff the Big Sky-Summit Challenge by hosting the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles (3-5).

The game will tipoff at 11 a.m. and can be seen on ESPN+. Austin Samuels and Stephen Madison will be on the call on ESPN+, Doug Taylor can be heard on the Vandal Radio Network. 
 
The Vandals will be expecting more than 1,500 elementary-school-aged students at tomorrow's annual education day game. Idaho will be wearing special shirts during warm ups that were drawn and designed by one of the students who will be in attendance at tomorrow's contest. 

Idaho is on a six-game win streak and off to its best start since 2015-16. The Vandals have been playing exciting, up-tempo basketball all season and are one of the fastest and highest-scoring teams in the country. At 84.5 points per game, the Vandals rank 18th in the country and first in the Big Sky in scoring. 

In addition to being one of the best scoring teams in college basketball, the Vandals are grabbing rebounds at an elite rate, ranking fifth in the country in boards per game at 49.25. With Idaho playing at such a high level, the Vandals came in at No. 93 in the season's first NET rankings – one of two Big Sky teams in the top 100. 
 
Idaho went 1-0 in last season's Big Sky-Summit Challenge, beating St. Thomas in ICCU Arena. UI will travel to Denver this Saturday to close the interconference competition. 

Oral Roberts enters the first game of the Big Sky-Summit Challenge at 3-5 on the season, and has played a tough schedule that has featured teams like Oklahoma State, Nebraska, and Kansas. The Golden Eagles also like to get up and down the floor, playing at the 34th fastest pace in the country.
