The SL Model has Idaho winning by six, but I'm not that confident. The Vandals should be plenty confident off their largest win over a Division l opponent in more than 14 years, defeating Northern Illinois by a score of 84-47 at ICCU Arena. The 37-point win was the program's largest margin of victory over a Dl foe since 2008 (UC Irvine, 101-47) and fewest points allowed by an Idaho defense since 2016 (44 vs. Southern Utah). Idaho's 51.1 percent shooting from the field is first in the Big Sky and rated eighth in the nation. In the Big Sky, Idaho is ranked second in scoring offense (76.2) and scoring defense (67.2), and third in assist/turnover ratio (1.05) and three point percentage (35.2).
