NoCo by 5.5

SUU by 14.5
I'd personally take the favorites to cover for all three.

NoCo wins by 18. With Kennedy Nicholas out, Sac had literally no answer for Alisha Davis. I'm guessing this marks the end of the Bunky Harkleroad era in Sacramento.
PSU up big on EWU, late-2Q

Although we did manage a split against Idaho during the season. I'll be surprised if we do cover.

MSU only beat NoCo by 5 and only shot 36%. Maybe they're more vulnerable than I thought…

Begs the question, if Idaho and Idaho State play each other, does Boise even care?

Re: Big Sky Tournament Thread (2020) - Women
Cats hadn't played a game that "Counted" since they won the conference on 2/22... almost 3 weeks of waiting to play a game that matters is a LONG time. (Yes I know every game matters, but they had the conference wrapped up after CAT/griz in Bozeman).Mvemjsunpx wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 1:07 pm MSU only beat NoCo by 5 and only shot 36%.

It's not just MSU, either. Idaho couldn't hit the broad side of a barn in their win over PSU.
