Two one-win seasons haven’t changed the way Idaho coach Paul Petrino approaches national letter of intent day. Much like his first two seasons, Petrino formed the base of the recruiting class in December when he announced 10 junior college signings.

Idaho men's basketball coach says Idaho and Eastern Washington would benefit from doing men's and women's same-site doubleheaders in the future.

Mike Scott subtly shook his head in disappointment when reminded of two missed free throws that could’ve changed Idaho’s fate for the worse Saturday evening at the Cowan Spectrum. With 21 points and six assists going into the final 35 seconds, Scott’s aggressive play offensively had Idaho in position to snap its four-game losing streak. That is, until two consecutive missed free throws on the front ends of one-and-ones with under 35 seconds remaining allowed Northern Colorado to turn a 78-72 deficit into a 78-77 game in just 12 seconds.

Minutes after the Cowan Spectrum had emptied, Idaho sophomore guard Sekou Wiggs was back on the court repeatedly taking free-throw shot after free-throw shot. He didn’t want to waste any precious seconds wondering how Idaho’s latest Big Sky Conference game got away from them, this time a 71-63 stumble against visiting North Dakota.

Idaho coach Don Verlin can't pin Idaho's three-game losing streak on just one thing. There are many holes, and solutions, to Idaho's play right now.

After a 2-0 start in Big Sky play, the Vandals have dropped three in a row to fall to 2-3. This time, a discrepancy at the free throw line led to a failed second-half rally.

Reports say Mike Breske will take over as Idaho's defensive coordinator, Ronnie Lee leaving program.

Perrion Callandret was a prolific dunker in high school. Is he started to do it at Idaho now?

MOSCOW, Idaho – When the two highest scoring teams in the Big Sky Conference met at the Cowan Spectrum Saturday night, the head coaches of Idaho and Eastern Washington could only naturally think about one thing: Defense. The specific focus for EWU coach Jim Hayford was Idaho’s stellar senior point guard, Mike Scott. The Eagles forced Scott into four turnovers, roughly four times as many as he averaged coming into the game.

Idaho will host "Rival" Eastern Washington Saturday at the Cowan Spectrum for the Big Sky Conference lead. How much of a rivalry is it?

MOSCOW, Idaho – While teammates were swarming and jumping on Mike Scott, the senior Vandals point guard stood stoic and glared down the basket. Moments earlier, he sniped in a 70-foot halftime buzzer beater from the Big Sky logo on the far side of the court that sent the Cowan Spectrum into a frenzy, and sent Idaho into the locker room leading by six. The miraculous heave proved to have monumental implications as Idaho held on to defeat visiting Weber State 86-84 Saturday night at the Cowan Spectrum to finish its opening weekend of Big Sky Conference play at 2-0.

Maybe Connor Hill should take vacations to Hawaii more often. The Idaho senior shooting guard spent four days on the Hawaiian islands with his family during the team’s nine-day layoff between the game at Northern Kentucky and hosting Idaho State to open up Big Sky Conference play.

Idaho men's basketball coach Don Verlin is as anxious as anybody to see what a nine day break from playing will mean on Thursday when the Vandals open Big Sky Conference play against Idaho State at the Cowan Spectrum. The Vandals last played on Dec....

MOSCOW, Idaho – The life of a freshman walk-on isn’t often luxurious. When Chad Sherwood comes to practice every day, there is little chance the work he puts in that day will earn him regular playing time. Instead, he usually emulates opposing players to help starters such as senior guard Connor Hill prepare for upcoming games.
