1st Big Sky season with four 20 win teams

[weberwildcat]

it is also the first yr we have had 12 teams but still, 4 winning 20 is pretty cool. Sac is hosting NAU tonight in the CIT so one of them will get another win over the 20 mark with another shot in a few days again.

2015: ewu 26 wins, sac 21, nau & griz 20.

20 win teams per season in Big Sky history:
0 20 win teams: 5
1: 26
2: 13
3: 8
4: 1

The 5 seasons with 0 20 win teams were: 1964, 1972, 2004, 2005, 2014. From 1964-68 the sky only played 25-27 games each. Big Sky tourney didn't start until 1976. In 1972 WSU had 18 wins and only played 29 games even including the NCAA tourney appearance.

Years BSC had 3 teams win 20:
1983: Weber/UM/UI
1985: Nevada/UM/Weber
1989: Boise St/ISU/UM
1993: UI/Boise St/Weber
1995: Weber/UM/MSU
1996: MSU/Weber/UM
2010: Weber/UNC/UM

5 out of the 8 had Weber and Griz both.

If you can have 3-4 good teams out of 12 and play 18 conf games maybe 3-4 20 win teams could become common. Also having a couple teams get in the CIT also could make a difference.

I want to be excited and say that the BSC is improving, but when you're feasting on a diet of St. Katherine and Presentation College that should give you 20 win seasons. EWU was impressive in beating Indiana, but going to need to up the quality of competition! Just don't play Oklahoma!
