Tonight’S Best Bets: Evergreen State At Eastern

Time, site: 7:05 p.m., Reese Court, Cheney.

Radio: KEYF 1050 AM and KEWU 89.5 FM with pregame show starting 20 minutes prior to tipoff.

Tickets: EWU ticket office, (509) 359-4339 or G&B SelectA-Seat, 325-SEAT.

Summary: Eastern coach Ray Giacoletti got some good news during the weekend when he learned Aaron Olson suffered only a bone chip - not a fracture, as first feared - in the little finger of his shooting hand during Friday’s season-opening loss to Gonzaga. As a result, the senior forward is expected to miss less than a week. It’s unlikely the Eagles (0-1) will need his services against Evergreen State, an NAIA school located in Olympia. The Geoducks (0-2) have a decent player in 6-foot-4 forward Jackie Robinson (15 points per game). But their losses have come to Xavier of Louisiana (83-68) and William Carey of Mississippi (92-78). ‘Nuff said.

Western Montana at Idaho

Time/site: 7:05 p.m., Kibbie Dome, Moscow.

Radio: KHTR 104.3 FM Moscow-Pullman, KVNI 1080 AM Coeur d’Alene.

Tickets: 1-88-88-UIDAHO.

Summary: The Vandals (0-1) have thumped Western Montana the last four years by scores of 87-58, 70-54, 85-61 and 84-53. Western, an NAIA Division II school, is 2-2. Leading scorer Josh Frunz is averaging 24 points per game. He scored six against Idaho last year… . The Dome is being restyled to be more basketball friendly, but those changes (new lighting grid, scoreboard and a curtain enclosing the bleachers) won’t be in place until next month.
