Opening Tip
Northern Colorado is coming off its second Big Sky win of the season, defeating Montana State 57-49 in Bozeman.
The Bears are 1-1 in conference play at the Bank this season after a split with Montana.
Alisha Davis continues to show her prowess in Big Sky play, leading the conference in blocked shots, double-doubles, field goals made, points, rebounds and rebounds per game.
Junior Micayla Isenbart is coming off one of her best performances of the season, scoring 15 points and grabbing five rebounds, three assists and two steals in the win over MSU.
With the help of freshman Hannah Simental, UNC has been downright lethal from behind the arc. The Bears are averaging 35.6 percent from the great beyond, ranking first in the Big Sky and 52nd in the country.
Scouting the Vandals
In the early parts of the 2020-21 season, Idaho has earned its place near the top of the conference. Head coach Jon Newlee has his team 6-4 and 5-1 in the Big Sky. Apart from its loss to Northern Arizona, Idaho has only dropped games to power five opponents.
Junior Gina Marxen and sophomore Beyonce Bea were both named to the Big Sky Preseason All-Conference Team, and with good reason. Bea is fourth in the conference in scoring (15.1 ppg) and Marxen (13.6 ppg) makes a fierce one-two punch.
History against Idaho
The Bears are looking to get back on track against Idaho this weekend. Prior to its two losses a season ago, UNC was 7-2 against the Vandals, including a 3-1 mark at the Bank of the Colorado Arena.
Against the Conference
