Eastern Washington At Northern Arizona

Tipoff: Last-place EWU (3-20 overall, 0-11 Big Sky) visits next-to-last NAU (5-18, 2-10) at 6:35 p.m. PST at the Walkup Skydome.

At a glance: NAU probably represents Eastern’s best shot at getting a Big Sky win. EWU entertains Montana and Montana State next week. … EWU led late before falling to the Lumberjacks 60-58 last month in Cheney. … The Eagles had all five starters score in double figures in Thursday’s 106-83 loss to Weber State. EWU shouldn’t face as many offensive weapons against NAU, but Brent Bowden, Michael McNair and Charles Thomas are capable scorers. Thomas and defensive specialist Jermone Riley will test EWU’s backcourt.

Key players: EWU D’mitri Rideout, Adam Dean, each 11.3 ppg; Dean, 5.5 rpg; Travis King, 3.2 apg. Northern Arizona - Thomas, 11.9 ppg, 3.9 apg.
