Five Wildcats in double figures in 81-62 win at Idaho

Moscow, Idaho - All five Wildcat starters scored in double figures as Weber State won its second-straight game against the Idaho Vandals with an 81-62 win Saturday afternoon at Memorial Gym in Moscow.

Weber State is now 9-4 overall and 4-2 in Big Sky play and the 'Cats have won six of their last seven games.

Seikou Sisoho Jawara led the Wildcats with a career-high 23 points. He was 10 of 15 from the field, with three 3-pointers and also had three rebounds and two steals.

Dontay Bassett added a season-high 15 points and was 8 of 8 from the free throw line. He also grabbed eight rebounds and had four assists, three blocks and two steals.

Isiah Brown added 14 points with three 3-pointers and dished out three assists. Zahir Porter had 13 points with five rebounds and Cody Carlson had 11 points and five rebounds.

Weber State shot 53 percent from the field, making it six of the last seven games shooting 50 percent or better. WSU was 10 of 21 from 3-point range, the ninth game this season the Wildcats have made at least 10 3-pointers.

WSU was also 13 of 14 from the free throw line and scored 30 points off Idaho's 19 turnovers.

The Vandals jumped off to a quick 7-0 lead before the Wildcats responded with 11-straight points and never trailed the rest of the way. WSU led 45-35 at halftime after shooting 59 percent from the field in the half.

WSU stretched its lead 18 points early in the second half before Idaho responded to cut the lead to 10 with 9:25 to play.

From there the Wildcats went on a 16-6 run over the next five minutes to lead by 20 points and never looked back.

"We weren't quite as active in the first half but I thought we started the second half with a strong defensive effort and that was the key in the second half," said WSU head coach Randy Rahe. "We are doing a really good job at sharing the ball and getting everyone involved. I like our progress and that we've been able to play a few games in a row and get more comfortable."

Weber State leads the Big Sky in scoring and has scored at least 80 points in five of the last six games.

WSU returns home to host Big Sky-leading Montana State in two games Thursday and Saturday at the Dee Events Center.
