Since losing to the Aggies on Nov. 7 in Moscow, the Vandals have only managed three victories on the hard court and a three game swing through California has not started well with an 80-56 loss to UC San Diego on Sunday. Head coach Alex Pribble continues to rely on depth with 11 players averaging in double figure minutes. 6’ 9” Julius Mims continues to be their leading big man with 6.1 rpg and 10.2 ppg. Their leading scorer however is Tyler Myrus (11.9 ppg.) who lead Idaho in scoring with 17 against UCD in their earlier meeting. UC Davis will seek to make it four straight wins. Game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
We’re listed as 7.5 point favorites. Need to get off to a strong start - we almost dug ourselves into an inescapable hole vs Sac. They will be well aware of TY’s ability to get to the hoop so we need to hit the open 3’s. Not expecting much of a crowd which hopefully won’t effect their concentration.
Of course, we were 5.5 favorites over Norfolk and that didn’t go well.
