Idaho State was picked 10th in the Big Sky in the preseason poll and is currently rated 9th in the most recent Big Sky Power Rankings (Idaho ranked 5th, UND 11th). This is a great 1st game for the "new" look Jacks. The Bengals aren't very good and can't really shoot. Wish there was a video to watch this game.
Dissapointed about the lack of video for Marshall's first game. Perhaps it is good that there are three games in three nights out in Utah. Maybe that will speed up the transition to a Marshall-led team.
Playing three games in a row befoe meeting a Top 20 team isn't ideal, but should be a good test of this teams toughness.
I would guess the schedule was "backloaded" on purpose to get Marshall as much playing time as possible before Summit play starts. Wins and losses not as important as getting everyone's roles established , although wins would be nice.
