University of Idaho men’s basketball team (5-15, 2-7) fell 78-64 to Boise State (16-5, 7-2) on Saturday. Though Idaho outscored Boise State by three points in the second half, the deficit set in the early stages of the game was too great for the Vandals to overcome. “In the beginning we were just silly and did foolish stuff,” Idaho coach George Pfeifer said. “I would like to have those first 20 minutes back. We can’t expect to win on the road when we do foolish stuff. Things we didn’t want to happen we let happen in the first stages on the game. (At the end of the game) we had some players with some pride and some players who wanted to compete hard.” Where the first half showed a struggling Idaho team, the second half showed the team’s improvement with a second half shooting percentage above 50 percent. This week the Vandals prepare for two more road games on Wednesday and Saturday at New Mexico State (12-12, 6-3), and Louisiana Tech (0-7, 3-16).
