The sun has risen on another day on the Palouse, and that means it’s time for another dose of WAC news at Vandal Nation.
Coming this afternoon, we’ll have a special announcement about hoops season that we’re very excited about. Don Verlin’s team is perhaps the best Idaho basketball squad since the Don Monson years, and we’re going all-out to cover his quest for an NCAA Tournament berth.
This week as a whole will be jam-packed… we’ll have Vandal Spotlights on Nate Enderle and Charlotte Otero, Better Know a Foe with The Red and Black Attack, previews of every WAC game and more.
