At a glance: Idaho Vandals

RECORD: 14-14 overall, 7-7 WAC

COMING UP: Today vs. Louisiana Tech, 7:05; Saturday vs. Fresno State, 7:05 p.m.

OUTLOOK: There are only two WAC teams the Vandals have yet to beat this year, and one of them is Louisiana Tech. The Bulldogs (14-16, 6-9) polished off the Vandals 74-63 on Jan. 17 in their gym, a loss that was more lopsided than the final score indicates. “They handled us as good as anybody all year,” UI coach Don Verlin said. Like the Vandals, Tech is rolling at the right time. It has won four straight and five of six. Kyle Gibson, a 6-foot-5 guard, leads the team in scoring (15.3 points per game) and is hitting 3-pointers at a .403 clip. Idaho will wrap up the regular season by taking on last-place FSU, a club it slipped past just five days ago in Fresno, Calif.
