What a comeback! This was a confidence-builder for sure. Seems like a Sandifer and Fuller duet brings some energy to the team. And if Garrett hits like he did tonight in 2nd half, we will win some games this year.

Unfortunately I had to work tonight and I missed the game but I saw it was a tale of 2 halves. What the hell happen that caused them to be down by 17 then comeback and steal that win?

Could not hit the broadside of a barn in 1st half. Hit damn near every 3 shot in the 2nd half to completely deflate Idaho. Plus, the guys did a good job on the defensive boards in the 2nd half.

Definitely nice win, just need now to play better on the road. In the 2nd half, Wright seemed to go with the 5 guys. No Remy and very Little Miklusak. Also seems like Batish has fallen out of favor. Anyway Jabari, Garret, Mo, Tate & JC played good but need to build some depth.

Anybody know why Remy is only averaging 12 minutes per game? He was a prime spot starter/bench player behind Ceola a couple years ago.

Western was down by 11 at the half (36-25).

Idaho scored the first 6 points of the second half to take a 17 point lead with 18:36 left in the game.

Western went on a 20-0 run to finally take the lead.

Western won the game 78-75.

Garrett Covington led with Western scoring with 27 points (2 points in the 1st half. 25 points in the 2nd half).

Tate Stensgaard had 10 rebounds.

Attendance at Western Hall was 1,053.

Here is a a mid-20th century postcard showing Sherman Hall and the Monroe Hall Annex (building on the left, c. 1940s), which was used for additional women's housing. Because Monroe Hall remained full and there was need for more women's housing, the college opened the Monroe Hall Annex in 1943. It was located at 907 W. Adams.

It's going to be an interesting and streaky season. Covington is the heart of the offense, so hopefully wiu figures out a way to get another shooter or two to step up when other teams try and take him out of the game.

Defense needs to be more consistent as well. I like the pack low scheme in general at this level,but it needs to consistently force to mid to long range shots. The easy buckets underneath kill us with the lack of overall size.

Injuries

This was a great win, but not sure how many we will have like this. The next game will be extremely tough against Alabama State. Hopefully we can pull of another home victory.
