You probably should have logged back out and not checked again. Lol

Too many turn overs resulting in quick points for BBQ.

Does Weber State have an amazing NIL collective?? They are virtually intact from last year when most of the Big Sky got hurt by the portal.

Too true.. . But they are really hanging in there!

43 to 34 at the half, Weber.

I remain unimpressed with Turner. He has skills, but he shoots too many shots that will only go in with a hope and a prayer. His defense appears mediocre at best to me and he has a fair share of turn overs. Maybe he's the best we've got, I don't know.

This is an incredibly scrappy game. I get letting them play, but this is also how people get hurt.

I'm liking how we are all working on defense with active hands in passing lanes. Seeing Jones have it stolen from him is nice to see. He isn't having his will in this game. But Weber really is stacked... So many threats, including Tew..

Goracke having a tough game.

Wouldn’t surprise me. They some of the best athletic facilities in the low-mid major ranks. They receive a ton of support from their school president and pay their coaches extremely well. They have a very avid fans and it probably wouldn’t take much for them to rack up a pretty nice bank account for NIL.
Their coaches are loyal and don’t go anywhere. Thats a huge part of it. Just think, if Sprink hadn’t left the only player MSU loses it Belo. They’d be in the same spot as this Weber team.

Not a bad game. Closed gap to 9 with about 7 to go. Just don't have the horses. Goracke needs to score for us to win games.

They've had NIL since long before NIL was a thing....if you know what I'm saying....

It's not a coincidence that they've had several assistants with deep ADIDAS ties and have recruited some of the top athletes from ADIDAS sponsored AAU clubs — Damian Lillard, Davion Berry, Jeremy Senglin, Jerrick Harding, Dillon Jones — over the last decade and a half....and are a big ADIDAS school.

Our team is put together with duct tape and baling wire, I'm happy with whatever we get. But we're not beating Weber this season-it's their year.

I don't know if anyone will beat Weber... At least not more than once.

Logie this is not division 2nanymore we can’t stop anybody.
We have no athleticism can’t play D.
no slashers, no midrange when is he gonna learn that living and dying by the 3 pointer will not work against good teams. Oh and we can’t rebound either our fast guys are weak can’t finish our slow guys can’t shoot with good defense on them. Crazy

Don’t blame Logie, Sprinkle is the one that gutted the place.

This. I'm sure Logie is well aware that he isn't coaching Division 2 anymore, and he has done a hell of a job so far to win as many games as he has with an absolutely decimated roster and greatly abbreviated recruiting season after he was hired so late. It's worth remembering that Sprinkle's first two teams finished 5th in the Big Sky, which is right about where I'm guessing this year's team will end up when all is said and done. Weber is going to dominate this year so MSU will join the Griz and likely all the other Big Sky teams in losing to them in Ogden.

It was super annoying how the BBQ crowd booed Patterson. Every. Time. He. Had. The. Ball. Get over yourselves.

Let’s be honest Patterson is one dimensional he is shooting 38 percent or 36 whatever from both 3 and 2
He can’t rebound, pass,or handle it. His D is horrible he u to slow. Why why depend on that unbelievable!
