No, I don’t mean that everyone gets four points off of the point spread in any direction they’d like if they hit both of these games.\u00a0 I mean that the Big Sky plays two games tonight and then takes two days off before a final four tournament gets underway in Missoula.\u00a0 This conference was the epitome of the ole two-horse race this year, as Weber St. and Montana were head and shoulders better than the rest of the field.\u00a0 They split their two games and the only difference was a head-scratching 2-point loss that Weber St. suffered at Idaho St.<\/p>\n

\nThe Bobcats of Montana St. fooled everyone into thinking they were contenders at the\u00a0beginning of the year, but showed their true colors down the stretch, losing 7 in a row before a final day win over hapless N. Arizona.\u00a0 Portland St., who was picked third in this conference in the preseason behind the Big Two, started slowly, but came on late to finish 10-6 in conference (10-2 against everyone other than the Big Two).\u00a0 The winner here gets Weber St. in the quarters on Tuesday.\u00a0\u00a0 7 people have the MSU upset here ((Doogan, Gross, J, Lil Lohse, Lohse, Mac, Teddy).\u00a0 No one has them reaching the finals.\u00a0 Dave, Primm, and RSmith all have PSU in the finals.<\/p>\n
\nThis matchup was determined before the two teams played their regular season finale on Tuesday night.\u00a0 They were locked into the #4 and #5 seeds.\u00a0 There was one question left – who would be #4 and get to host the game?\u00a0 Well, EWU answered that question by taking care of business by 13, forcing Idaho St. to make this trip again 4 days later with the season on the line.\u00a0 The winner here gets a crack at the Big Sky Final Four host for the year, and top seed, Montana.\u00a0 Alexi, Dave, and KA are the only three with the mild upset of Idaho St.\u00a0 KA actually has ISU winning this tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
