Oh look,
we blow a 17 point lead and lose on a last second three point buzzer-beater for the second first game of the month in a row. Seriously, fuck that noise.
29 points from PotG
Sid Johnson, a great game of 25 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, a steal by
Alvaro Houghton, 10 points and a block out of
Rainier Roussel, with 11 bench rebounds, a block, and steal courtesy of
Heath Wagstaff, and we blowout
Southern Utah 100-61.
Alvaro Houghton stepping up with 26 points, 7 rebounds, and a steal, and
Sid Johnson scores 20 as we top
Montana again, 79-63. It's our first win streak of the Big Sky season, and maybe we can salvage this shithole year yet.
Six players in double-digit scoring, keyed by
Alvaro Houghton (22 points, block, steal), PotG
Sid Johnson (24 points, steal), with 13 rebounds and a block by
Rainier Roussel, and we escape
Eastern Washington with a 92-89 OT win.
25/7/1/1 from
Sid Johnson and 24/7 by
Alvaro Houghton as we run roughshod over
Weber State 72-50, and we're at .500 in the Big Sky finally. Doubtful we'll be playing in the conference tournament, but that's perfectly fine.
Not fine - pissing away a win against
Montana State, though our defense slaps
Northern Arizona around 80-56 with no real standouts to speak of - just a lot of guys in double-digit scoring.
One says no, but we
finally land a recruit.

Should be a worthy replacement for
Sid Johnson, and I'm hopeful he can beat out
Gary Hine for the starting job from Day 1 if this has any accuracy at all.
Our shooting dies the last two games and we end the year on a bad note, dropping both contests and ruining our star backcourt's senior season.
It's technically a winning season at 15-14, but I'm so disgusted, I just skip the postseason entirely.
We got a guy I think is a steal to finally commit in April

IMO he's underrated at Red/Yellow.
Our other two guys? Still sitting out on us.

Fitting.
Alvaro Houghton smashes the career points record with 1,834, 10th all-time in the
Big Sky (5 of them have 2,000+ career points). I can understand why
Sid Johnson didn't make it due to games missed, but Houghton
averaged 18.1 points and he doesn't even make the 2nd Team? Skip that.
