Eastern Washington faces Kansas beginning at 10:15 on Saturday morning. Attempting a factual assessment of that outcome, I want to be Coach Shantay Legans’ cell phone about two hours after the start of that game. Then I’d like to morph into being his agent.

Guard Austin (Monte Vista High) Fadal is a redshirt sophomore with Eastern Washington but played in just four games this season.

Legans should have his guys come out in uniforms with N-C-A-A in big. bold letters on the front of their jerseys.

St. Mary’s could really use Bramah right now but a return to the Bay Area apparently isn’t the works.
