Didn't see this one coming, though she didn't play last week. That's a devastating loss for the team with easily the best RPI in the league.

This article reveals she quit the morning of the EWU game.

The Big Sky is totally up for grabs now…

Couple of observations:

1. Hope C. Smith is OK. "Personal" reasons can cover a lot of ground.
2. They seemed to do pretty well without her.
3. The BSC was "up for grabs" even with C. Smith. UNC had already lost some games.
4. For a program that has had some pretty good seasons they don't draw well do they?

The Greeley Tribune article from the Idaho game mentioned she was out with "illness." If that was really the case, though, I doubt she would quit the team entirely.

2. They seemed to do pretty well without her.

Not like what we'd seen from them earlier in the season. They lost to Idaho by double digits and struggled to beat a mediocre EWU team.

Idaho is a very good team and Eastern may have the best player in the conference.

A blurb from a recent article reveals Courtney Smith was suspended for a team-rules violation prior to quitting and is now transferring to Denver.
