Idaho State basketball gets shot at Washington State in Pocatello
The Griz have some pretty solid teams on their schedule this year but it doesn't match the degree of difficulty looming ahead for the Idaho State Bengals.
They may lose every single one of these games but that Washington State matchup in Holt Arena makes it all worth. Even if they lose by 45, it'll still be fun for at least the first few minutes. I'm not envious of their away games because the Griz have a pretty fair yet challenging schedule but I do wish we had a shot at the Cougars in the Zoo instead of on a neutral court.
Idaho State's 2007-08 men's basketball schedule is set, loaded with big names for the second straight year, such as UCLA, Washington, Brigham Young, Iowa and Utah. However, head coach Joe O'Brien has one of those big names, Washington State, coming to Holt Arena, along with Boise State and a full slate of Big Sky Conference games, and he promises that is just a taste of things to come as far as home scheduling goes.Yea, challenging your squad by tough opponents is a good idea, but this is out of hand. On top of these tough squads, they also face Long Beach State, an NCAA Tournament team.
