Four Corners: Vandals fighting injury bug

Coming up: Today vs Sacramento State, 7 p.m.; Saturday vs Portland State, 7 p.m.

Outlook: A patch of sidewalk ice has the potential to derail Idaho’s season. Top scorer Victor Sanders slipped on ice on Friday night and is now out three to seven weeks with a broken right hand. The Vandals take their 4-3 Big Sky Conference record without starting point guard Perrion Callandret as well. Injuries mean opportunities for former bench warmers. Pat Ingram, a junior college transfer point guard, is likely to be the first guard off the bench. True freshman Nick Blair will provide backcourt depth via a guard role from his small forward spot after a career-high 16 points at Montana State.
