Can We Beat the Weebs?

After 18 hours on the bus to Cedar City and back will the Bengals have the legs to compete with the Wildcats? We will find out tomorrow. Hoping for a decent crowd -- over 2200 would be our largest of the season.
 
Brad:

Maybe the men take a different route than the women. It usually only takes us, 14 hours. LOL.

This team has been so fun to watch! A win against Weber would make this a memorable team, even with a win/loss record hovering around .500 in conference.Go get em boys.
 
I agree, IFBengal, a win over the Wildcats would be a nice capper for what has been a fun season so far.
 
Scheduling in the Big Sky is horrible for everyone, especially when a team plays four games in eight days like the Bengals this week. However, even the Bengals' home game on Monday seems like a road game, because the Wildcats last played on Thursday and the Bengals played Saturday. Logic says: advantage Weber. They are the top team, are more rested, and have a deeper bench to throw into Monday's game. But a Bengal win would be even sweeter for all those *logical* reasons. Bring someone with you. We are. Nothing is certain this year--even for Weber. It's gonna be a wild ride. Go Bengals!
 
Anyone know what northern Colorado did against them to be so successful? Is it something Idaho State can replicate or was it just a fluke bad game game for weber ?
 
Weber was still in a funk when they played at UNC. The Wildcats shot only 35 percent, Berry was a nonfactor and Barden had a dominant game. Second time they played Barden was a non -factor and the Weebs shot 50 percent from the floor. Weber outscores opponents by 9 points a game from 3 and had 12 treys in last game with ISU. The Bengal zone will have to figure out how to cover the trey.
 
Too bad the Big Sky scheduled this "rivalry" game for a Monday before the end of the year. Usually, a decent group of fans would come up from Ogden, probably won't happen on a Monday. The game in Weber was also played on a Monday. In fact, UM and MSU played on a Monday as well.... strange.

From what I've read elsewhere, this was because of Southern Utah. SUU apparently gets to decide how the weekly schedules go because they're in the disadvantageous position of being the odd team out. They weren't willing to do a Thursday/Monday schedule this year because that forced them to take two separate road trips in one week, which forces the regional pair rivalries to either be on Thursday or Monday. I'm not sure why so many are on Monday instead of Thursday, but anyway…
 
Steve Schaak tells me the two Weber games next year will be on Saturdays. It will be interesting to see how Idaho's entry to the league and an 18-game schedule will manifest itself.
 
Excellent win! So much improvement watching this team over the last couple of seasons! :clap:

The women lost to Weber? :oops: That's the Weebettes first conference win in almost 3 years! :oops: :oops:
That's the 7th win in 3 seasons for the Weber coach, but the Purple Puke Eaters would be wise to talk Ardie McInelly out of the high school PE and coaching job she has in Colorado and come lead them. Hell, they should go get Joe Cravens to come back to coach their women's team!
 
Great game and atmosphere tonight.
If we could've done a little better in regulation shooting free throws we would've had them easily without the thrill of an OT win.
Nonetheless, glad to have experienced this game as a basketball fan and a Bengals fan! :thumb:
 
Next year the Big Sky will eliminate all Monday games. Games will be simply Thursday - Saturday.

Travel partners for next year will be:

East. Wash. & Idaho
Sac. St. & Port. St.
No. Ariz. & So. Utah
ISU and Weber St.
Mont. & Mont. St.
No. Col. & No. Dakota.

18 game UNBALANCED schedule next year. For example in women's play next season ISU does not go to No. Colorado and No. Dakota.

Sac. St. and Port. St. do not come to Pocatello for women's play.

Really proud of this team. Refreshing to have a men's sports team that is a formidable opponent instead of a punching bag. There is no question that Evans can coach at a very high level. If he is able to recruit at a decent level, watch out.
