Weber is 11-2 between Montana State, NAU, and Portland State in the Big Sky Tournament.
The 'Cats have never lost in the conference tournament to NAU or Portland State.

Does Carlos Taylor have a shot at Big Sky MVP if the Bobcats lose in the first round?
V Foundation nominee:
Carlos Taylor, SR, Montana State University – Growing up in the notorious Frazier neighborhood of Memphis, Carlos was raised by his determined mother who suffered from severe diabetes complications; he came face-to-face with the opportunity to “give up”; before his senior year in high school when his mother died leaving him as a teen-aged family “patriarch”; living alone without adult supervision, sometimes without heat, paying bills and responsible for his own athletic and academic progress, Taylor maintained a household not only for himself, but also for his brother and two younger cousins; led his high school team, moved on to Southeastern (Iowa) College where he was all-conference and now leads the Big Sky Conference in scoring for MSU; credits the lessons he learned in the year without his mom as a high school senior for the success he has enjoyed on and off the court ever since.

Thats a great success story... almost makes me feel bad that Weber has to be his last collegiate game. I think he has the talent to play somewhere on the next level. Maybe in Europe or even on a development league team. I hope the best for Carlos.
I don't know if Bengalhater has said anything, but he has a bunch of student tickets that he is selling for $5.. I've got one..
