Just got back from the game. I have no voice left. I'm thinking that was the best Eag hoops game I've ever been to. I love the grit this team has. Doing that without Tyler and Venky playing signifigant roles was quite impressive. And, in front of over 3,000 fans made it even better. Hope you all made the game. And if you didn't----I will see you at the Sac St. game in two weeks which will hopefully be for first place. Tell your friends about that one. It is truly a great time to be an eagle!!!

From the Rafters.....
go eags!

Amazing friggin' game. What will have a lasting impact is that the guys didn't really play well for most of the game, shooting was mediocre and defense was suspect. Topping it off was Idaho was drilling crazy shots for 35+ minutes. Winning while struggling is huge for character building... it shows a lot of heart and determination.

And we beat IDAHO! God, I hate those guys.... Not as much as the Great Satan from Spokane, but more than anyone in our own conference!

Why would you take a timeout here...especially when EWU doesn't have one. Give them time to set up. My guess it will be a full court press.


Think all you EWU fans should send Coach Verlin a thank you note.....that was the worst coaching I've ever seen in D1.....a mediocre high school coach would have won that game....your team never quit and played hard all the way......congratulations.....don't forget Verlin

Why do you think that??? We already beat you by 13 and we have a coach who won't call time outs FOR YOU.
You have a good team and never quit yesterday....I congratulated you.....You still owe Verlin a big THANK YOU for the terrible coaching job he did. If you think he coached that game well, then you should be worried about walking and talking at the same time.

Fair enough, I'll take the wins anyway they come...

The other side of the coin you present is that Sac State won by 13 against an Eastern that didn't feature Venky Jois on their home court. The next game could easily go the other way. There is still a lot of action to play out. Besides, it sounds like Sac State may have had good fortune at play in their win last night.

That said, I NEVER like to accuse someone else of being nervous. It reminds me of the 2010 interview when Maradona walked up to the mic and said "What's the matter, Schweinsteiger, are you nervous-sh-sh-sh..." and then the Germans bitchslapped the Argentinians 4-0 and El Diego was promptly fired.
 
Can I amend my choice of worst coaching job ever???? I now vote for Pete Carroll, what an idiotic play with Lynch in the backfield...absolutely the worst decision he could ever make was to put the ball in the air....even if the ball is incomplete, you don't really want to stop the clock at that point. I now owe Verlin an apology.
 
I don't recall seeing Verlin miss any of those free throws down the stretch. Pretty sure his players missed those free throws that would have iced it. Is that Verlin's fault? In regards to the timeout--Brandon drives to the hole whether the TO is called or not. That's what he's coached to do. I get where you're coming from but I disagree. EWU had to do a lot to win that game and they made it happen. Idaho played one of their best games and we played a mediocre game. Still put up 98. Sac has a solid team this year and so does Montana. You beat a solid MT team. Going to be hard for the eags to get a win this week at MT but we play them twice.

From the Rafters...
go eags!
 
Great game on Saturday, maybe one of the best ever at Reese.

As for Sac, is anyone really worried about Sac? Haha. They play 5 of their last 7 on the road, 4 of those road games are against the top 8 teams. No offense to Sac, but you still have the meat of your schedule to play...
They will end with 3 or 4 conference losses, book it...
