Big Sky news and notes
We’ve got word on the Big Sky player of the week and a rundown of some of the early action involving your favorite Big Sky teams.
2011-12 Big Sky Conference Preview
Northern Colorado took advantage of some of Weber State’s bad luck with injuries en route to the Bears’ first NCAA Tournament bid last season. The healthy Wildcats look to strike back in 2011-12 with a potentially dominant run through the Big Sky Conference.
Eastern Washington Eagles 2011-12 Preview
Eastern Washington has the looks of a team that could contend for a conference title — or could slip to the middle of the pack. It all depends on how well the Eagles bond without their point guard from 2010-11.
Idaho State Bengals 2011-12 Preview
Idaho State doesn’t enter 2011-12 with lofty expectations, but the Bengals certainly will have a towering presence in 7’4” Jakub Kusmieruk, a transfer from Central Florida.
Montana Grizzlies 2011-12 Preview
Montana might be a match up nightmare for most of the Big Sky with Derek Selvig on the roster. The 7-footer can step out to hit 3-points, leading the team with 39 last season.
Montana State Bobcats 2011-12 Preview
Montana State has quite a few new pieces to add to the puzzle in 2011-12, which includes missing about 60 percent of last season’s scoring and rebounding after four starters departed from the 2010-11 team.
Northern Arizona Lumberjacks 2011-12 Preview
The Lumberjacks face some uncertainty in 2011-12 as an injury could leave Northern Arizona without its best player for some time.
Northern Colorado Bears 2011-12 Preview
Northern Colorado cashed in on an experienced roster last season and won a Big Sky title and bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Bears will have a tougher time in 2011-12 with significant roster turnover.
Portland State Vikings 2011-12 Preview
Coach Tyler Geving should continue to steer the Vikings north in the Big Sky standings in 2011-12 with an experienced roster at the helm.
