Not expected to be available Saturday, but no mention one way or the other about Monday.

Going to be a battle between TGF and Tristan on who will play. Who knows what shape Tristan will be in being a potential positive and being away for a week and a half.

Maybe a good game for TGF to get some minutes and get confidence up.

He sounded more optimistic yesterday than he had over the last few days.

But regardless, TGF needs to step up in a big way, cause I think he'll play.

So much stuff floating around, that I might have mistaken practice availability for games. Still sounds like there are some hurdles, but it's looking good. Not that it should particularly matter for Saturday's game, but getting them back in the lineup before Monday is ideal.

Play Marcus, Bryce, Ochai and Braun.
Harris and Lightfoot bench.

7 deep.

Big Sky Tournament Champions as the 2nd seed
110 Kenpom, 114 NET
Losses: @ Washington State, @ Arizona, @ Oregon
Best win: v Southern Utah


They played Washington State and Arizona close, both were 3 point losses, were blown out at Oregon.
The Eagles play relatively fast, with the 30th largest adjusted tempo in D1, are excellent free throw shooters as a team ( 79.9% 6th ) and shoot very well from 2PT range ( 54.2% 33rd ). They are one of the worst teams in the NCAA at forcing turnovers ( 302nd in the nation ).


Coach Shantay Legans took the Eagles to 1st place in the Big Sky last season before the tournament was cancelled.
He has a 75-48 (.610 ) record in 4 years.


Tanner Groves ( Spokane, WA ) is the Big Sky player of the year.
Junior 6'9 235, forward.
16.4 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 55.7% FG


Tyler Robertson ( Melbourne, AUS ) comes off the bench.
Sophomore 6'6 200, guard
11.3 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 3 APG, 37.8% 3FG.


Tanner's younger bro Jacob plays on the team.
They play 7 guards in rotation and 1 forward, Tanner - though Jacob looks to play a forward's role, at 6'7.
Both brothers will shoot from 3.

Tanner and Tyler look like they should be locked up for storming the capital on January 6th.

I see KU blowing this team out or I can see us in a dog fight because these guys are really good free throw and 3 pt shooters.

Because theyre white and have beards? Racist.
