Nic Men Schedule New Foe For Nov. 7 Basketball Opener

North Idaho College’s season-opening men’s basketball game will go on, but against a different opponent.

A national team from Israel, the scheduled foe on Nov. 7 at NIC’s Christianson Gym, has canceled and been replaced by Silute, a team currently in third place in the Lithuanian league.

Silute is scheduled to play against Montana on Nov. 8 and Gonzaga on Nov. 14.
