Idaho Vandals men’s basketball team achieved a decisive 109-55 victory over Evergreen State Geoducks on Sunday in Moscow, Idaho. This marks the largest win for the program under head coach Alex Pribble.

The Vandals started strong, opening the game with a 15-0 run and scoring their first nine points from three-point range. By halftime, Idaho led 56-17, with ten different players contributing to the scoreboard in the first half.

Six Idaho players finished with double-digit points, marking the third time this season that six or more Vandals have scored at least ten points in a game. The team made 17 three-pointers, extending its streak of five or more threes per game to 57 consecutive contests. This is also the most threes made by Idaho during Pribble’s tenure.

The victory represents Idaho’s fifth win by more than 40 points under Coach Pribble and their second such win this season. The Vandals dominated the rebounding battle as well, outrebounding Evergreen State by 36—their largest margin in over ten seasons.

One player led all scorers with 20 points, reaching double figures for the ninth time this season. Another senior posted a Division I career-high of 14 points and led Idaho in assists (five), rebounds (seven), steals (two), and made free throws (four).

Every member of the Vandal roster scored at least one basket during the game. In addition to offensive production, freshman players contributed efficiently from both field goals and free throws.

Idaho now holds a season record of 7-4 while Evergreen State falls to 0-4. The Vandals will next play Cal Poly on December 21 at San Luis Obispo; tipoff is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time on ESPN+ and radio platforms including Vandal Radio Network and Varsity Network app.

All student tickets for home games across football, basketball, volleyball, and soccer are available free of charge through Idaho Athletics’ ticketing service.
