Idaho avoids late collapse, beats N. Colorado

BEHIND SENIOR POINT GUARD Mike Scott, who led all scorers with 23, Idaho built a 20+ point lead in the Cowan Spectrum only to watch it evaporate in the final five minutes of Saturday's Big Sky match-up against Northern Colorado. Idaho struggled at the line, shooting just 58%, which aided the Bears comeback effort. But Scott, Connor Hill and Sekou Wiggs all hit late free throws for the 83-79 win.
