WOW, Craw's Corner picks our Viks to win the men's basketball championship. I have followed this blog for sometime now and it is really good, funny and informative. It is nice to know we get recognized by a talented basketball writer.

Hope he's right.

Seems a bit early to be predicting who we'll face in the tourney, but I'll take the BSC title.

CRAWFACTS, Edition 12

PORTLAND STATE---And speaking of coaches it is not often you talk about a head coach doing a great job, while only having a .435 winning percentage after only two years as head coach. Tyler Geving at Portland State is the exception to the rule. Last year he won one more game than the previous year, not usually not a big deal, but it was big deal when you consider the Vikings were short handed playing most of the year without year star player Phil Nelson and also the fact the Portland State was on probation due to a low APR, due to the lack of previous coach Ken Bone not minding the store during his tenure with the Vikings. Like Ben Howland, Geving also made a brilliant off season move in the summer of 2010, when he hired veteran west coast assistant coach Andy McClouskey. McClouskey is a steadying influence and great to have on a bench for a young head coach. The Vikings are now off of probation, they have some good players, including one outstanding player in Chehales Tapscott and as I have written about before are my favorite to win the Big Sky.

I think that is a reasonable prediction. The Viks used the probationary period to (1) make sure they don't end up on probation again, and (2) get loaded and ready. Geving's a fine recruiter. I think we're going to see this season that he can also coach winning teams.

what/who is craw's corner?

WSU Wildcat:

Craw's Corner is a well respected basketball person, who is very wired in to the entire basketball world, pros and college. He is really on top of things and often people seek out his advice on basketball issues, especially when it comes to the pros and to west coast college basketball. I run into people from all over the United States that read his blog.

His blog also has a historical perspective to west coast college basketball, something that is lacking at times for all of us basketball nuts.

Hope that helps.
