Three may be considered a magic number, but the best things in life often come in pairs.
Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry would not be the same without his sharp-shooting counterpart Klay Thompson on the other side of the floor.
Michael Jordan’s legacy with the Chicago Bulls might have been lost without the standout play of Scottie Pippen at small forward.
No matter the time period, dynamic duos are an integral part of basketball.This year, senior guard Perrion Callandret and junior guard Victor Sanders highlight a formidable offensive force for the Idaho men’s basketball team. The pair combined for 781 points last year and shot 38.3 percent behind the arc, despite suffering time-limiting injuries.

The Vandal guards enter the 2016-17 season as arguably the best scoring pair in the Big Sky Conference, a guard dominated league. The veteran chemistry allows the two to create unique scoring opportunities other perimeter players might miss.

But with a full offseason of recovery time, the two have returned to the court better than ever.

In Saturday’s matchup against Corban, Sanders and Callandret dropped 19 and 14 points, respectively. The duo combined to shoot 6-of-8 from the perimeter and 10-of-20 from the floor.
The pair has influence in several areas of the box score.
Sanders opened the second half with three assists to spark a 13-2 run. Callandret pulled down five rebounds.
The impressive performance by the two is encouraging for Vandal basketball fans. It showcases the veteran leadership the two bring as members of the starting lineup.
Although the skill level of NAIA-affiliated Corban is far below future opponents, the final numbers bode well for the direction of the Vandal basketball team.
The performance of the two guards will determine Idaho’s destiny on the road to the Big Sky Tournament in Reno. Callandret and Sanders have already exhibited a substantial amount of success at the collegiate level, the pressure will only mount.
