If Eastern is to win, the Eagles need to get defensive

EAGLES

Eastern is averaging 86.4 points a game, its highest total in 35 years. But the Eagles are 8-8 overall, 2-2 in Big Sky play. If you want to know why, it might be because, though EWU has scored 100 points three times, its given up at least 100 four times.

The Eagles might be scoring in bunches, but they are giving up points in bunches as well.

Eastern continues its seemingly never-ending Big Sky road trip at Idaho State tonight (6:05; 790-AM) and at Portland on Saturday.

As usual on Thursday, we take a look around the Big Sky and the week ahead.

Don't forget to check out Dave Trimmer's blog for more on the Eagles.
