[Mvemjsunpx]

Sac leads NAU by 7 at the end of 3 quarters.

[Mvemjsunpx]

Kaleigh Paplow just went down with what appeared to be a bad ankle injury. NAU trails by 2.

[Mvemjsunpx]

NAU dominates the fourth despite the Paplow injury and wins by 5.

[Mvemjsunpx]

SUU leads Montana by 10 at the half. The T-Birds are winning the glass by 12.

Emma Stockholm left with a probable concussion after whacking the back of her head on the court.

[Mvemjsunpx]

SUU upsets Montana by 8.

EWU & Weber are tied with 7:00 left. Weber won in Cheney on Saturday.

[Mvemjsunpx]

EWU pulls away late to win by 7. The Eagles now have to play Idaho State, a team they just lost to by 29 points at home last Thursday.

[Mvemjsunpx]

• SAC 69-74 NAU; The 'Jacks get their first Big Sky Tourney win since upsetting a ranked Montana team in 2007
  • • • NAU had 7 more free-throw attempts in the fourth quarter than Sac had in the entire game
  SUU 64-56 UMT; The T-Birds dominate the boards 51-37, with 5'5" Rebecca Cardenas nabbing 14
  • • • Jace Henderson gets a double-double (11 points, 10 boards) in her final game at UM
  WEB 74-81 EWU; The Eagles scored 33 points in the fourth quarter on 69% shooting
  • • • Jaiamoni Welch-Coleman puts up 30 pts., 9 boards, & 6 assists in her final game for Weber

Idaho easily dispatches NAU by 17. Taylor Pierce had 25 points at halftime.

As expected, Kaleigh Paplow didn't play for NAU.

[Mvemjsunpx]

PSU dominated the third and leads MSU by 8.

[Mvemjsunpx]

The Viks win by 12 to finish off the 3-game sweep.

[Mvemjsunpx]

Suutah's carriage turned back into a pumpkin. They trail NoCo by 27 at the half.

[Mvemjsunpx]

Bears win by 32.

[Mvemjsunpx]

ISU leads EWU by 10 at halftime, so the top-4 looks like it'll hold to form as heavily expected.

[Mvemjsunpx]

Idaho State completely chokes it away in the fourth, so we're going to OT. At least Sobolewski didn't commit a technical to lose it in regulation this time.

[Mvemjsunpx]

Eastern pulls the upset after there was a comedy of errors in the final minute of OT, so we won't get the expected four after all.

In 18 years as EWU's coach, this is the first time Wendy Schuller has won multiple games in the same Big Sky Tournament.

It's also gotta be a gut-wrenching loss for Idaho State. This was supposed to be their year to push for a title, and now they lose both Grandon & Kenyon (as well as Hinrichs).

[Mvemjsunpx]

• NAU 73-90 IDA; The Splash Sisters combine for 55 points while the Klinker sisters combine for 23 boards
  • • • Regan Schenck (pronounced "Skank" ) gets 24 pts., 12 rebounds, & 6 assists in the loss
  MSU 56-68 PSU; Sidney Rielly only went 2/12 from the field, but she went 12/12 from the line
  • • • The Bobcats go 2/9 from three in the second half after going 8/13 in the first
  SUU 50-82 UNC; Abby Kain sets a Big Sky Tournament record with 21 rebounds
  • • • The T-Birds lose the boards by 24 one day after winning the glass by 14
  EWU 67-65 ISU (OT); The Eagles pull it out despite never leading until overtime
  • • • The Eagles win despite shooting a season-low 19% from the arc

PSU leads Idaho 45-37, late-3Q.

A rather shocking point total for a team like Idaho against a zone-based opponent.

[Mvemjsunpx]

PSU still leads by 11 with ≈4:00 to go…

[Mvemjsunpx]

Portland State upsets Idaho by 16, getting their first win of the season against either Idaho team.

The Splash Sisters will ambivalently finish their careers in the WNIT, just like Natalie Doma & Andrea Lightfoot did in Jon Newlee's final year at ISU.

A very good win for the Lady Viks. This is just another step forward for them, considering where the program was just a short time ago before Kennedy arrived. Ducks and Beavers both will be in the Big Dance. Viks are trying to get there as well, but Friday's game won't be easy regardless of opponent. I'm hoping we aren't done yet.

[Mvemjsunpx]

Eagles lead NoCo 36-35 at the end of the third. NoCo led by at least 9 during the third.
