Idaho is young and it shows. The Vandals will find their first win in one of the two Memorial Gym games, but this team is still finding its rhythm and it will take it some time to do so. Idaho pulls away with one win,but adds three losses to the record.
Brandon Hill — 2-2
Expect Idaho to hold the line at home in Moscow. But with an 0-3 record this season, the Vandals might run into trouble five hours south in Boise. Idaho technically should be able to win every contest in the Holiday Hoops Classic, but inconsistencies on the defensive side of this young team will prove for an unpredictable week.
Chris Deremer — 3-1
I think Idaho will find a spark during the showcase and gain its first two wins of the season against Bethesda College and Northwest Nazarene. The Vandals may find themselves in a battle against UC Santa Barbara and I believe Idaho will.

Fortunately Idaho’s home matchups will come against lesser competition in this year’s Holiday Hoops Showcase, but the matchups in Boise could be trouble. UCSB is always a sneaky opponent who is disciplined enough to take advantage of a young Idaho team. Northwest Nazarene will get a major boost from play-ing so close to home, and once again a veteran team should take advantage of Idaho’s growing pains.
Zack Kellogg — 1-3
Idaho is now entering the holiday tournament season. This could be a turning point for the team, but it won’t result in wins. Bethesda seems like the only easy win, but outside of that, this will be a test to see if the Vandals can clean up their game and start to.
