Big Sky Scores, Stats, & Standings

How did they look?

I can see why some people have them picked as a sleeper this year in the Big West.

Their Center #15 Joaquin, is a beast. He is coming off of MCL surgery and they are slowly working him back in. He went for 20-10 in 26 minutes. He is around 6'10-6'11 and he thrives in the paint, but he will shoot the mid-range jumper as well. If you don't respect him, he will take a 3.

Their Forward #21 Brereton is their sharpshooter, while he was off on this game he is shooting so far 47.1% from behind the arch. Gotta have to keep tabs on him.

Their other Forward #34 Standhardinger is their leading scorer right now and he loves to crash the boards and get the dirty points. Very good motor

They got a lot of easy looks and lay-ups, but they struggled in shooting the 3 in this game, but they can light it up (went 11-24 against A-PB). They also shot well from the line.

They are very well coached as Gib Arnold has really turned that program around. He has really spanned the globe in getting players to come to Hawaii and also getting the transfers to come.

We will have to play very well against these guys. HBU did get a lot of open mid-range looks in the first half but they couldn't bury them at all.

I see where South Dakota St. beat Montana in double OT in Missoula on Saturday night.

The Big Sky is 14-57 vs DI opponents with non-conference play mostly wrapped up.

Not very impressive.......................

The significant news from that game is that Montana finally got the return Will Cherry, the presumed favorite for Big Sky player of the year, and his rust showed in this game. He will improve over time, but they got killed on the boards and had a chance to win the game TWICE from the line (sound familiar?) and didn't get it done. Wolters shot 5-21 from the field, but was picked up by Fiegen and Dysktra.

Yeah, not good. The best win the Sky got IMO was Weber knocking off Dayton.

Not only do we start conference play tonight against SUU, but NAU and Montana State will get it on in Flagstaff.

Cherry only played about 10 or 12 minutes and not very well, he's only been practicing about 10 days so it might take a couple weeks to get up to speed, then Montana should improve quite a bit.

Montana State has not been good so far, I'm surprised they kept it close at NAU.

Surprised by the SUU number. Watching that game, it looked there were at most 500 people there, and that is generous........

That's the same way the Betty looks on Midco broadcasts because of the vantage that the cameras shoot from (west side shooting east). Because we are local we know that the west side seats fill up fairly decently, at least, in the lower deck. The other side is usually pretty sparse, and the students zones are atrocious. Granted one of the games I saw was against Northern Colorado and the students were gone already.
