88–57. They turn their attention to Idaho for their final game of the regular season on Monday, March 2 at 6 p.m., as they fight for a top seed in the Big Sky Tournament.

Contributions throughout the rotation, defensive pressure, and transition scoring fueled repeated runs that allowed Eastern to pull away late Thursday and cruise comfortably Saturday.
