With a very special thanks to MarlinS, a subscriber to the Vandal Sports
listserve, videos of Idaho's 1982 basketball season (as they battled their
way to the "Sweet 16) are become more and more available.

 

Thanks, MarlinS.

The above link should take you to the next game in my Monson series. It's
highlights of the 1982 Big Sky playoff game played in Moscow. Idaho was
ranked #6 in the country at the time but Weber State played a great game and
took Idaho right down to the wire.

I was originally thinking of combining the Weber State and Nevada playoff
games into one roughly hour long highlight video. But, I decided that the
raw footage during the last part of the game was too good to cut up. So, I
just let the video roll, timeouts and all. I wanted to keep all of the
tension and excitement that was in the air that night. It was a shockingly
close call for the Vandals who were at their greatest height in the national
polls. The Vandals certainly didn't play their best but a lot of the credit
has to go to Weber State. They came to Moscow to play and they almost pulled
off the upset.

One note that comes to mind is that the attendance ended up being a little
less during those playoff games because the students had to pay to get in.
The cost of the tickets was kind of high by 1982 student standards.

I will edit and upload the 1982 Big Sky title game between Idaho and Nevada
next. I tried to make an adjustment to improve the quality of the Google
video but I'm not sure if what I did makes much of a difference or not. In
any case, enjoy and GO VANDALS!!!
