Pick
I’m leaning towards the Lumberjacks here. Not a game I’m rushing to bet, but while this is a bit of a pseudo home game for Idaho, the problem is that the Vandals offense fell off of a cliff down the stretch and that’s not what you want going into a conference tournament. Northern Arizona may not have been winning a ton of games, but they’ve been scoring points and giving themselves a chance. They also won the last meeting at Idaho by 22 points. I’ll take a shot with the Lumberjacks laying the points here.
