Pac-10 Men’s Race Still Up in the Air
A week ago, it appeared that Arizona was well on its way to claiming the Pac-10 Conference men’s basketball title. One week later, it’s become a three-team race. The Wildcats suffered a pair of blowout losses in southern California over the weekend – the latest coming at red-hot UCLA, 71-49, on Saturday. U of A [...]
Isham Shining for BSU Broncos
The 2010-11 season has not been kind to the Boise State women’s basketball team. Records of 2-11 in the Western Athletic Conference, 11-16 overall, not to mention a nine-game losing streak, reflect that.

But hats off to the Waitsburg-Prescott boys and girls basketball teams, who completed undefeated, [...]
Lakers Stepping Up
Just over a week ago, many in the media were in panic mode when talking about the Los Angeles Lakers. L.A. had a stretch of three losses in four games prior to a seven-game road trip that started last Saturday. The mini-slide began with a Jan. 28 home loss to the lowly Sacramento Kings. Following [...]
W-P Rules
Saturday night was another winning evening for the Waitsburg-Prescott boys and girls basketball teams. Both teams posted Southeast 2B victories at home over DeSales. The girls sank 12-of-14 free throws in the fourth quarter to clinch their 50-40 win. The boys broke open a close game in the second quarter and clinched the league title [...]
