It was blowout night in the Big Sky, apparently. Only 2 games decided by less than 18.
Men
SUU 69-90 PSU; Vikings get six in double figures to end a long drought
MSU 51-87 ISU; Chris Hansen makes a school-record 9 treys for a Bengal team that shot 64%
UMT 63-87 WEB; Montana shot 65% in the second half & still couldn't make a dent in the deficit
NAU 68-76 UNC; Both teams shoot well over 50%, but the Bears win turnovers by 5
SAC 48-49 UND; Hornets go 1/10 from the arc, including a miss at the buzzer
Women
UND 62-80 SAC; The Hornets win turnovers 31-15 against easily flustered UND
PSU 60-83 SUU; T-Birds go 10/16 from the arc against the Big Sky's best perimeter D UNC 71-43 NAU; D'Shara Strange gets 21 points, 14 boards, and 7 assists
WEB 43-90 UMT; The Lady Griz get their most lopsided win in 7 years against the godforsaken Wildcats ISU 65-46 MSU; The Bobcats play better D in the second half, but shoot just 15%
See you in the conference championship for the rubber match.
You coming to town for the game or are you just going over to SE's for a flat brim party?

SUU 72-86 EWU; It's difficult to make up a double-digit deficit when one of your top scorers gets ejected UMT 61-54 ISU; Cherry only shoots 13%, but he still gets 10 points, 11 boards, 2 blocks, 3 steals, & 6 assists
MSU 61-69 WEB; Weber outshoots MSU 64%-40%, yet somehow wins by only 8
SAC 64-78 UNC; Derrick Barden gets a double-double & goes 10/11 from the field NAU 74-72 UND (OT); The Lumberjacks return the overtime favor despite no Stallon Saldivar
Women
UNC 81-73 SAC; Stephanie Lee & Lauren Oosdyke go a combined 20/30 and score a combined 48 points EWU 78-70 SUU; After lighting up PSU, Hailey Mandelko goes 2/16 against the Eags
UND 60-64 NAU(OT); Erikka Banks scores 18 off the bench for NAU, more than half her total coming in
ISU 49-61 UMT; Two minutes into the second half, Kenzie De Boer had outscored Idaho State 21-19
WEB 65-69 MSU; Nearly blowing an 18-point lead against winless Weber isn't what righting ships are made of

Sac would have to crumble not to make in to the tourney. I think they win at ISU and MSU at the end go get in

I don’t think so. NAU swept us so they hold the tie breaker. We split UND and UNC so I think the next tie breaker is comparisons to teams in order of standings (not sure who gets the tie breaker there) and assuming a loss to MSU, they hold the tie breaker due to their Weber win. We only have 1 “should” win with the ISU home game but I think it will all come down to the final game at MSU (we’ll lose at home to Weber and at UM). Given our road woes, I don’t like the possible outcome at MSU. I don’t think 8 wins will be enough for us.

You will probably lose to ISU but will beat MSU.
