The Weber State Wildcats are playing the better ball right now, but an argument can be made Idaho has been the better team this season overall. Also, despite its losing ways currently, Idaho wins at home by an average of 16 points while shooting 49.9 percent from the field. I’ll grab the free bucket with Idaho if forced to pick.
