Weber State head coach, Randy Rahe, has released his 2010-11 men’s
basketball schedule, which includes four difficult instate games, an
appearance in the Great Alaska Shootout, a first ever meeting with the
University of Tulsa, an appearance in the “Bracket Buster” and the always tough
Big Sky Conference schedule.
“We are excited about our schedule”, said Rahe.
“As always we try to play as many challenging and competitive
non-league games as possible and this year is no exception. Unlike other
teams in the Big Sky, we have a built-in schedule within our state which is
as difficult as any team has out here in the West. BYU and Utah State both won
their league last year and went to the NCAA Tournament, and we get to open
the year at USU. Utah and Southern Utah are both vastly improved this season as
well.
We have the opportunity to possibly face Arizona State and St.
John’s in the Great Alaska Shootout, if we can get by the host team,
Alaska-Anchorage. They are always a strong contender each yeat at the NCAA
Division II level. All of these teams, though, really prepares us for the Big
Sky schedule. The Big Sky will much stronger, top to bottom, this
season.”
The Wildcats will play at Conference USA member, Tulsa, on December
16th in a first-ever meeting between the two schools. On Saturday, February
19, the Wildcats, along with the rest of the teams in the Big Sky, will
appear in a “Bracket Buster” game. The site and teams for that date won’t be
announced until late January.
The Wildcats face a tough task in Big Sky Conference play, with five
of their first seven games coming on the road. That task begins with the
always tough trip to the state of Montana. On Dec. 29 the Wildcats open at
Montana State, followed by the much-awaited rematch with the University of
Montana coming on New Year’s Eve (Dec. 31) in Missoula.
