College of Idaho Wins Conference and Trip to National NAIA

The College of Idaho men's basketball team beat Warner-Pacific 75-73 to win it's third Cascade Conference Tournament title in the last five years.

The Coyotes are now 27-6 on the year and headed to Sioux Falls, South Dakota next week for the NAIA Division II National Championship tournament.

A pair of former high school basketball players from the Treasure Valley provided the scoring power needed.

Nate Bruneel who played at Rocky Mountain dropped in a game high 16 points and Centennial standout Talon Pinckney canned 6 of 6 free throws in the final 58 seconds to seal the deal.

The Coyotes will open the national tournament either March 7th or 8th.
