Around the Big Sky

Saturday’s game between Eastern Washington and Weber State in Ogden, Utah, will mark a homecoming of sorts for first-year Eagles coach Kirk Earlywine, who spent seven seasons as a Weber assistant under Joe Cravens. … EWU’s Kellen Williams, who leads the Big Sky in rebounding with an average of 8.8 per game, has seven double-doubles this year. … Northern Colorado already has two conference wins, equaling the number it recorded during last season when it finished 2-14 in its first year as a member of the Big Sky. … Weber State’s Arturas Valeika, after averaging 11.3 points in 12 non-conference games, took only three shots and failed to score in last Sunday’s road loss to Northern Colorado. … Portland State’s Scott Morrison became the seventh player in Big Sky history to block at least 150 shots during last Saturday’s 80-66 win over Northern Arizona.
