Meh, they weren't very good with them in the lineup.

If Katz is extended (I give it a 50/50) then I think they fire Bunky. If they don't extend Katz, Bunky stays around for his final contract year. I don't see us doing two BBall coaching searches/hires in the same year.

I'm not sure. I didn't expect MBB to go 7-2 in non-con play, but I also didn't expect them to get ran off the court by 15 points in BSC road games. I thought WBB would have done a little better than what we have been seeing.

No, they weren't real good, but they were doing well enough in conference to likely save Harkleroad's job for another year.

My guess is they keep Katz & can Harkleroad. With Nicholas, Bade, and King graduating, Bunky would likely be a lame duck next year anyway. There have also been news stories the last couple years about a questionable environment surrounding Harkleroad's program. They don't specify what the exact problem is (too harsh? not harsh enough?), but I'm sure those don't help his chances.

I've heard Bunky has another year left after this one. One problem with Bunky is he never went out and hired any assistant coaches with D1 experience and I think that crippled him in recruiting. I think it is more of he and his staff not knowing what D1 talent looks like on the recruiting trail.

I think Katz can coach his way into an extension. Another win (we should see another win, right? :? ) give him a winning record for only the 2nd time in the D1 era. The more I think of it the more I think it plays out similarly to Sears on the FB front. Sears was all but done but somehow pulled out that magical 2017 season in his contract year. Orr gives him a short extension (and a short leash) knowing he wouldn't last long once he regressed back to the mean. I could see something similar for Katz happen wrt the contract situation.

      11.Idaho _________________3-16_____7-23____ L6


      The only way EWU won't be the #1-seed is if they lose, UM wins, and NoCo loses.
      EWU wins the possible 3-way tie because they swept both PSU & MSU.
      Montana can get the #1-seed while NoCo can't, but NoCo controls their own destiny for the #2-seed while Montana doesn't.
      PSU has clinched #4 and MSU has clinched #5, so they will play each other next Thursday regardless of what happens Saturday.
      NAU has clinched #6.
      Whoever wins Idaho/ISU gets #10, while the loser gets #11 (Idaho wins common games because they beat PSU once).

If EWU loses, NOCO loses and UM wins there won’t be a three way tie. There’ll be a 2=way tie. And in THAT scenario, Griz win the title because they swept EWU.

Exactly. The scenario I was initially describing wasn't the 3-way tie. I just put the other part in parentheses to point out why the 3-way tie goes to EWU. I'll make it a separate line…

Being that we clinched #4, maybe we can do some "load management" against Sac State. :roll:

Naw, it'd be better to go in the tournament on a 6-game win streak. :thumb:

It should be Radebaugh, IMO, but it'll likely be Peatling assuming EWU doesn't choke today.

EWU beat Weber to clinch the outright title.
NoCo won in Bozeman to clinch the #2-seed. Montana is locked into #3 no matter what happens tonight.
Idaho beat ISU in the battle for the #10-seed.


What's left at stake…

SUU will clinch #7 with a win in Missoula, otherwise they'll be #9.
Sac will clinch #7 with a win in Portland and an SUU loss. They'll be #8 with a loss & an SUU loss or with a win & an SUU win. They'll be #9 with a loss & an SUU win.
Weber will be #7 if Sac & SUU both lose. They'll be #9 if Sac & SUU both win. They'll be #8 otherwise.
