Next week can't come soon enough!!

EWU vs Griz should be interesting to watch. What chance is their EWU wins? I do not think it would happen but EWU and PSU are the next best teams after Griz & Weber this year.

Will Griz & Weber soundly beat EWU & PSU or will they be close games and/or too close?

I would expect our game to be a little more competitive than the UM game. However, EW does have some athletes and anything can happen, and sometimes does. It is UM's home floor, and they are playing with a lot of confidence right now. EW is all over the place, but scarry. PSU is good, but quite predictable. They are skilled enough to put together a good game. We will need to show up strong to win. We can't afford to play against anyone the way we played against UM.
