The third-seeded #EWU men are done after an 81-68 loss to No. 7 seed Idaho in the Big Sky Tournament semifinals.
The Eagles just couldn't buy a 3 when they needed one. The Vandals made a few of them late to put the game away.
Idaho will play No. 4 seed Montana on Wednesday.

I think I've gone multiple weeks of the Big Sky season without seeing this many jump balls in an #EWU men's basketball game.
English
Tough finish to the season for the #EWU women, who lost today to No. 2 seed Montana State in the Big Sky Tournament semifinals.
MSU tied it with a 3 late in regulation, and then EWU missed a key free throw and then a 2 in the final seconds of OT. Either would have tied it.
English
Correction on the time of the PSU/UM game: It's at 6 p.m. Pacific.
English
Eagles will play No. 7 Idaho in the semifinals at 8:30 p.m. Pacific time on Tuesday. Game will air on ESPN2.
The other semifinal matches No. 1 Portland State vs. No. 4 Montana at 6:30 p.m. on ESPNU.

No. 3 #EWU is into the semifinals after an 84-79 victory over No. 6 Weber State.
It's Eastern's first victory at the Big Sky men's basketball tournament since 2022, first trip to the semifinals since 2021, when the Eagles won the tournament.
English
Five minutes into the second half, the #EWU men are doing the things that generally win them basketball games: 20-18 edge in rebounding, 8 for 18 from 3, 53% from the field overall.
Just six turnovers, too.
Eagles lead 52-45 with 15:31 left in H2.
English
The #EWU women's basketball team upset Northern Colorado today and will face No. 2 seed Montana State in the semifinals at 1:30 p.m. (Pacific time) on Tuesday.
Remarkable balance in scoring for the Eagles: All five starters had 11 or 10 points.

@glass_zachary He's committed to Vanguard (D2) in Costa Mesa, Calif.
That said, in this college basketball era, he could very well prove himself there and get looks from D1 programs.
The coach at Vanguard is Rhett Soliday, who played with Reece Jenkin at Reardan High School.
