At a glance About a month ago in Bozeman, Quadre Lollis muscled for 24 points and 12 rebounds and Nico Harrison glided for 29 points in a 78-70 win over Idaho. “You try to cheat here and there (defensively), but it’s virtually impossible because Nico creates his points and Lollis is just a tough low-post scorer and they surround them with three shooters,” said UI coach Joe Cravens, whose team can sew up sixth place and the final slot in the Big Sky Tournament with a win. … Idaho center Nate Gardner is questionable due to a knee infection, which could mean extra minutes for Harry Harrison, Jason Jackman and 7-foot freshman David Sturing.

Key players: Idaho - Reggie Rose, 13.4 ppg, 3.1 apg; Harrison, 10.1 rpg. Montana State - Lollis, 17.6 ppg, 11.4 rpg; Scott Hatler, 5.8 apg.
