2011-12 Big Sky Basketball

[Wildcat Ryan]

Too bad about Bullinger, if true. On the other hand, he didn't contribute much in the last couple games.....

Points wise no, but he was our leading rebounder. he will be missed, they say he will be out 4-6 weeks.

I appreciate your posting the BSC scores, Mvem - keep it up. Especially appreciate getting both men and women scores.

Precisely why I NEVER bet on it.

He was effectively a lame duck anyway, but I thought he'd at least try to get his team in the Big Sky Tournament & save his job.

The Wahines may have been 2-7 to start their show in Manoa, but they're cleaning up at this point, beating PSU and Denver to go 4-7 now. And they'll probably take Davis tonight. Nothing like a home court and jet lag, not to mention 78 degree weather and the pull of the beach.
