Big Sky Basketball Thread - 2015-16

Go Wildcats, Grizzlies, Eagles, Hawks and.......... I guess I could cheer for the Blandals too

Idaho unfortunately got a #16-seed in the NCAAs & will play Baylor. That's the second-straight year the Big Sky champ has gotten a #16 despite being a top-20 conference.

MSU got the auto bid in the WNIT & will play Utah in SLC.

NoDak & Weber both got WBI bids. I'm surprised UND didn't get WNIT (top-100 RPI) while I'm also surprised Weber got a WBI bid above Montana & EWU, who both were higher in the standings & had better RPIs.

Conference records include the tournament, but the regular-season finishing order is unchanged.

Good hire? Just up the road from UNLV, would think he would have the in on some local recruits.

That's the difference between NAU basically losing nothing and not losing nothing.

He averaged 13.1 ppg, but most all of that was from the non-conference season.

UND freshman Adam McDermott transfers to UNI and will walk on

Portland State Women's basketball coach Lynn Kennedy signed two more foreign born players with international experience (Elizajane Loader (Central Coast, New South Wales, Australia/Barker College) and Caroline Tindal Wich (Aarhus, Denmark/Aarhus Academy)).

I'm not sure where he keeps digging up these girls. The 2016-17 season roster shows 6 foreign born players (Austria, Australia (2), New Zealand, Puerto Rico & Denmark), which is almost one third of the team.

I know that there are other schools out there with foreign born players, but just out of curiosity, how many out there have this many.

Given the youth of our team (one senior, two juniors), I'm hoping that the longer they play together, they will become more successful.

Northern Colorado fires BJ Hill. Kinda sounds like another Adras-type situation.
