Hornets lost 67-58 to UM. I saw none of it but noticed the Hornets went into halftime with a 5 point lead and finished the game with a 2-1 free throw discrepancy when the final horn sounded.

Weber State's crowd of 8,361 vs EWU last night was the highest regular season big sky attended home game since 2003


Weber only needs a crowd of 7,393 to reach a total of 100,000 fans on the year, and with our bracket buster game vs Texas Arlington, it is very possible to reach that mark. (We haven't had 100,000 total attendance since 1987, a total of 107,614).


Game 1 Northern New Mexico: 4,882
Game 2 Utah State: 9,359
Game 3 San Jose State: 5,765
Game 4 Southern Utah: 6,043
Game 5 Mayville State: 5,304
Game 6 Utah: 8,239
Game 7 Idaho State: 6,071
Game 8 Sacramento State: 5,903
Game 9 Montana State 6,134
Game 10 Montana: 7,236
Game 11 Northern Arizona: 6,059
Game 12 Portland State: 6,285
Game 13 Northern Colorado: 6,966
Game 14 Eastern Washington: 8,361

It's now a virtual certainty the Weber/Montana game will solely determine who hosts the tournament. The only way that could be prevented is if Weber loses their other 2 (conference) games or Montana at least loses to MSU.

Hopefully, both Weber and Montana can win out till the 28th, that game has the making of one epic showdown.

Xavier Blount may not be able play again this season, but the injuries aren't at all life threatening.

UNC's announcer is a moron

[Mvemjsunpx]

UNC's announcer is a moron

What else is new? He's the whiniest homer I've ever heard, & that includes standard, angry, douchebag fans and ESPN.com commenters. I don't know if he's the same guy that does UNC's women's games, but that was terrible in the tourney last year too. His definition of a travel is about 35 years out of date, but only when applied to the other team.
