North Idaho College was blown out of its own gym Thursday night as talented Utah Valley rolled to an 88-68 men’s basketball win at Christianson Gym in Coeur d’Alene.

The NJCAA fourth-ranked Wolverines shot 52 percent, buried 9 of 11 3-pointers and whipped NIC on the boards.

Jason Keep and Reggie Battee scored 16 points each to lead NIC.
