MOSCOW, ID - After dropping four single-possesion games last month, the University of Idaho men's basketball team finally saw one go their way, with a 63-59 victory over WAC rival Fresno State on Saturday.

Senior forward Jim Bandoumel led the way with 16 points for the Vandals, six of them coming off some pretty intense dunks. Another plus for Idaho was the fact they hit a season-high 22 free throws on a season-best 88 percent. Yet the game came down to a single possesion as Fresno State came up short on a game-winning 3-pointer as Idaho picked up the win and now sits at 1-1 on the year in WAC play.
