EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2018-19 Eagle Basketball Highlights . . .

• NCAA Tournament berths in 2015 & 2004, NIT in 2003 & CBI in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

• Big Sky Tournament champions in 2015 & 2004.

• Big Sky regular season champions in 2015, 2004 and 2000.

• The summer of 2018 was the fourth-straight year an Eagle has represented EWU in the NBA Summer League.

• SHANTAY LEGANS made history in 2017-18, as his team’s 20 wins were the most by a first-year Eastern coach in EWU’s NCAA Division I era. Among the victories was a 67-61 victory at Stanford to break EWU’s 21-game losing streak versus Pacific-12 Conference foes. Interestingly, he played for California for three seasons from 2000-03 and the Bears lost to the Cardinal in all five meetings.

• The Eagles from 2013-14 through 2017-18 have recorded win totals of 15, 26, 18, 22 and 20, including the top two win totals in EWU’s 34-year history in NCAA Division I . The combined 101 victories in five seasons, 86 in four, 66 in three and 44 in two are also the most since EWU became a member of NCAA Division I in the 1983-84 season. The same can be said of EWU’s stretch of league victories -- 10, 14, 10, 13, 13 -- in that five-year span. Eastern has had its first back-to-backto-back national tournament postseason appearances at the Division I level with a current stretch of four-straight, including its first-ever win (79-72 over Pepperdine in the CBI in 2016).

• BOGDAN BLIZNYUK was the 2017-18 Big Sky Conference MVP and a unanimous first team all-league selection, and went on to earn first team All-NABC District 6 honors. He broke the Big Sky Conference and Eastern all-time career scoring records, with a final total of 2,169. He set a NCAA Division I single season record as a senior when he made 77 consecutive free throws. and finished with a total of 16 school records, three Big Sky marks and nine Big Sky Tournament records. He concluded his senior season with 741 points (sixth in Big Sky history), tying the record in the final minute of his career and then breaking it on his last career shot with 10 ticks left. He earned second team NABC All-District 6 and second team All-Big Sky honors as a junior. He was the Big Sky Conference Freshman of the Year in 2014-15. As a sophomore, he recorded the first triple-double in school history when he had 11 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists against Northern Arizona on Jan. 16, 2016.

• JACOB WILEY, playing in his first and only season as an Eagle in 2016-17, made Big Sky Conference history by becoming just the second player in league history to score at least 639 points and have at least 303 rebounds in a single season in the league’s 54-year existence. The honorable mention All-American, Big Sky MVP and first team NABC All-District 6 selection finished with totals of 694 and 309, respectively, and no other player in league history has coupled that with at least 58 blocks (Wiley finished with 94 to come one shy of the league record) or a shooting percentage of at least .621 (Wiley finished at .643). Wiley finished the season ranked sixth in NCAA Division I in field goal percentage, eighth in blocked shots (2.76 per game), 29th in scoring (20.4), 48th in rebounds (9.1) and 112th in free throw percentage (.828). He signed a contract with the New Jersey Nets of the NBA. • FELIX VON HOFE finished his career in 2016-17 sixth in league history for career 3-pointers with a school-record total of 262. He played in a school-record 128 games and finished with the 18th-most points in school history with 1,058, and 3-point records for both makes (262) and attempts (657).

• A four-time All-Big Sky performner, VENKY JOIS was selected to the All-Big Sky Conference first team as a senior for the second -straight season. He was also a NABC All-District 6 second team selection in the 2015-16 season, and a year earlier he earned first team All-District 6 honors and was picked for the Big Sky Conference All-Tournament team. He was the Big Sky Conference Freshman of the Year in the 2013-14 season, and earned honorable mention All-Big Sky accolades as both a freshman and sophomore. He set 10 school records as an Eagle, including what was then a school-record 1,803 career points.

• Eagle sharpshooter TYLER HARVEY was selected by Orlando in the second round as the 51st pick overall in the National Basketball Association Draft on June 25, 2015. Harvey was a walk-on to the Eastern program in the fall of 2011, then developed into a honorable mention All-American in the 2014-15 season when he led NCAA Division I in scoring (23.1) and 3-pointers made per game (4.00). He set Big Sky Conference and school records with 128 3-pointers in the 2014-15 season.

• The Eagles closed a monumental 2014-15 campaign with a 26-9 record overall after finishing 14-4 in the Big Sky Conference to share the regular season title with Montana. Eastern swept through three games in the Big Sky Conference Tournament on Montana’s home court in Missoula, Mont., to garner the school’s second NCAA Tournament appearance in school history. The Eagles finished with program bests for victories overall (26), in the Big Sky (14), on the road (11) and in non-conference play (9) as a member of NCAA Division I. Eastern set a total of 18 school records during the year. * Eastern’s heart-stopping 88-86 victory at Big Ten Conference member Indiana Nov. 24, 2014, will go down as one of the greatest victories in school history after the Eagles snapped the nation’s third-longest non-conference home court winning streak at 43 in front of 11,636 Hoosier fans at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Ind. It was the first-ever win for the Eagles in 14 tries against a Big Ten Conference opponent and was the first Big Sky win on a Big Ten home court.

• Streak of nine-straight Big Sky Conference Tournament berths from 1998-2006 (fifth-best streak in league history).

• Second or better in Big Sky regular season standings five-straight seasons from 2000-2004.

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2018-19 2017-18 REVIEW: Eagles 20-15 For Third 20-Win Season in Four Years Following the head coaching debut for Shantay Legans, Eastern looks to the future after Bogdan Bliznyuk era ends with 86 victories in four seasons

T

here is no denying the great success the Eastern Washington University men’s basketball team had in the 2017-18 season, but the final two losses were a lesson for the future.

The Eagles had a highly-competitive and highly-successful season in the first year at the helm for Eastern head coach Shantay Legans. His squad went on a late-season eight-game winning streak that was the best in 14 years, and the Eagles were among a record six Big Sky teams who won at least 20 games in the 2017-18 season.

At 20-15 on the year, Eastern had 20 victories for the second-straight season and the third time in the last four, with EWU achieving that mark just one other time in the school’s 35 seasons as a member of NCAA Division I. The Eagles played 11 opponents who advanced to national postseason tournaments, with the Eagles winning five of the 15 meetings against those teams. Among EWU’s non-conference victories was a 67-61 win at Stanford to break EWU’s 21-game losing streak versus Pacific-12 Conference foes.

After beating Portland State 78-72 and Southern Utah 82-70 in the Big Sky Conference Tournament, the Eagles fell to regular season champion Montana 82-65 in the championship game.

Eastern, which had a 41-29 halftime lead against the Grizzlies, then fell 87-65 at Utah Valley in the first round of the College Basketball Invitational. After playing sensational basketball for 8 1/2 games and capturing third-place in the regular season conference standings, Legans vows the Eagles will use the last three halves of the season to also build upon.

“They did achieve a lot, but you can’t settle and say a third-place finish and just getting to the championship game is a good season,” he said. “That’s a losing mentality, and I don’t want our team to think that’s okay.

I know they’ll get patted on the back and it’s a great accomplishment to win 20 games and play without guys who were injured, but you can’t have that mentality. You have to think you want to win the league championship and go to the NCAA Tournament.”

The Eagles beat every Big Sky team other than regular season league runner-up Idaho in the 2017-18 season, and finished third after being predicted to finish sixth by the media and seventh by the coaches in the league’s preseason polls. Included in the league triumphs was the school’s first road

sweep in two years in late February, including a win over Weber State to give EWU a tiebreaker advantage in the league. Eastern snapped the nine-game winning streak of the Wildcats, and one game earlier handed regular season champion Montana its first league loss after 13 victories.

“They competed every game and I’m proud of this team,” he continued. “I like everybody we have coming back and coming in. I think we have the best shooters in the league, and I believe Mason Peatling is going to be the best big man in the league.

It was a good season, but to me, if you don’t win it and get to the NCAA Tournament, it’s kind of a loss.”

Besides its 20-15 record, the Eagles were 13-5 in the Big Sky, and won 17 of their last 24 games after a 3-8 start. The Eagles finished 11-1 at home, 6-12 on opponent home courts and 3-2 at neutral sites in the 2017-18 season, and were 5-4 on the road in the league season and 8-1 at home. Eastern equaled a school-record with 35 games played in the 2017-18 season.

Eastern made its sixth appearance in a national postseason tournament in school history and fourth-in-a-row. Eastern advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2004 and 2015, were in the NIT in 2003 and have played in the last three College Basketball Invitational (CBI) tournaments in 2016, 2017

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2018-19 2017-18 Honors Bogdan Bliznyuk

and 2018.

A big part of that success was Bogdan Bliznyuk, who joined Sir Washington and graduate transfer Benas Griciunas as EWU’s three departed seniors.

In his 138th and final game of his career, Bliznyuk tied EWU’s single season scoring record with 50 seconds left, then broke it with a 3-pointer on the last shot of his illustrious career with 20 ticks remaining. Bliznyuk, the Big Sky’s all-time leading scorer with 2,169 points, finished with 741 as a senior to rank sixth in league history and break the previous school record of 738 set three years ago by Tyler Harvey.

In setting a total of 16 school records, Bliznyuk scored 27 points in his finale – the 44th time he’s scored at least 20 and his 100th double-digit performance. He also closed his career with a variety of Big Sky Conference Tournament marks, a NCAA Division I single season free throw record with 77-straight makes and the utmost respect from his head coach.

“I love Tyler to death, but I wasn’t about to let Bogdan go without that record,” said Legans. “I want to make sure our team knows how important everything is, and Bogdan is going to understand some day how much he accomplished. It was probably the best single season a player has had at Eastern Washington and probably the best career – he’s going to be in the record books a long time.”

More Team Notes Eagles Achieve Second Consecutive 20-Win Season, With Four-Straight Years of 18+ At 20-15 on the season, the Eastern basketball program has hit a threshold that has occurred just four times now in Eastern’s 35-year history in NCAA Division I. Since 1983-84, the only other times EWU has won 20 games came in 1985-86 (20-8), 2014-15 (26-9) and in 2016-17 (22-12). The 2017-18 team is just one of six in the school’s 35-year NCAA Division I history to have at least 18, including the last four seasons in a row.

Eastern has been in the Big Sky Conference for 31 seasons now, with a high of 14 league wins in 2014-15.

Finishing 13-5 in league play in both 2017-18 and 201617, only one other time has EWU exceeded 11 league wins, that coming in 1999-00 when EWU had 12 to share the regular season league title with Montana.

From 2013-14 through 2017-18, Eastern has had win totals of 15, 26, 18, 22 and 20 games. The two 20-victory seasons are the top two win totals in EWU’s 35-year history in NCAA Division I. The combined 101 wins in five seasons, 86 victories in four seasons, 66 in three and 44 in two are also the most since EWU became a member of NCAA Division I in the 1983-84 season. The same can be said of EWU’s stretch of league victories – 10, 14, 10, 13, 13 – in that five-year span.

Legans, Bliznyuk & Washington Were Tourney Tested Fourth-year seniors Bogdan Bliznyuk and Sir Washington both played in EWU’s 2015 NCAA Tournament game versus Georgetown, as well as four other games in national postseason tournaments. Bliznyuk averaged 19.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists in those five games, while making 33-of-69 shots overall (47.8 percent), 7-of-17 from the 3-point stripe (41.2 percent) and 25-of-29 free throws (92.6 percent).

Washington averaged 4.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.4 assists. In four games, Ty Gibson has scored 11 points with two rebounds and an assist, and Cody Benzel has

seven points, five rebounds and a pair of assists. Jesse Hunt did not play in 2018 versus Utah Valley in the College Basketball Invitational, but has played in three other postseason games and has seven points and eight rebounds. Mason Peatling played as a freshman in the 2015-16 season against Wyoming in the CBI and scored four points, then had five points, five rebounds and a pair of assists versus UVU.

Head coach Shantay Legans has coached in three Big Sky Conference Tournament games as a head coach and 10 as an assistant, with a record of 8-5 in five appearances. Eastern’s 2014-15 squad won the title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament with a trio of victories in Missoula, Montana. Included was a come-from-behind 69-65 over the host Grizzlies in the championship game.

Bliznyuk finished with a record 10 games of Big Sky Tournament experience, and Eastern was 7-3 in his four seasons as an Eagle. Washington played in seven games, but was injured and didn’t play in 2015. In those 10 games, Bliznyuk averaged 19.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in the league tournament.

Besides his 32 points against Southern Utah and 35 points against Portland State in 2018, he scored 32 points with eight rebounds in the 2017 semifinals versus Weber State, and had 18 points, nine rebounds and six assists in the quarterfinals against Sac State.

Now in its 31st year as a member of the league, Eastern made its 16th appearance in the Big Sky Conference Tournament in 2018. The Eagles have a record of 15-14 in its 28 games – 1-0 in the first round, 5-5 in the quarterfinals, 7-4 in the semifinals and 2-5 in the championship. The Eagles advanced to the title game in 1990, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2015 and 2018, and won the title in 2004 and 2015. Before winning the 2015 title, Eastern hadn’t appeared in the tournament at all since the 2011-12 and 2010-11 seasons, which were EWU’s first since 2006. The Eagles qualified for each tournament from 1998-2006.

Bliznyuk scored 82 points in three 2018 tournament games, making 31-of-46 shots overall (67.4 percent), 6-of-8 from the 3-point stripe and 14-of-18 free throws.

His points, field goals and field goal attempts were Big Sky single tournament records as he was named to the All-Tournament team. He also holds Big Sky Tournament career records for games played (10, 7-3 record), minutes (333), points (193), field goals (72) and field goals attempted (126). He shattered the previous scoring record of 165 set by current Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak from Montana from 1983-86. Bliznyuk made 77 consecutive free throws in an 18-game stretch from Dec. 31 to March 8 to set a new NCAA Division I single season record.

Legans Has Most Coaching Wins for a Rookie in 75 Years First-year head coach Shantay Legans is the 18th coach in Eastern history, and has made history of his own. His 20 wins are the most by a first-year Eastern coach in EWU’s NCAA Division I era, besting Ray Giacoletti with 17 in the 2000-01 season. Joe Folda also won 17 games in 1982-83 as an interim head coach during Eastern’s rise from NAIA to NCAA Division I. Thus, you have to go back to the 1942-43 season when Bob Brumblay won 27 games in his debut season to find a rookie Eastern coach with more than 18 victories, which is also the only time it’s happened.

Among the victories was a 67-61 triumph at Stanford to break EWU’s 21-game losing streak versus Pacific-12 Conference foes. Interestingly, he played for California for three seasons from 2000-03 and the Bears lost to the Cardinal in all five meetings.

Washington averaged 4.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in the seven tourney games he played, including an 11-point effort in 2016-17 versus the Hornets and seven as a senior versus PSU. Eastern went on to lose to Georgetown 84-74 in the NCAA Tournament, with Bliznyuk finishing with 11 points, six rebounds and a pair of assists after earning Big Sky Freshman of the Year honors. Washington missed the Big Sky Tournament with an injury, but was 2-of-2 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free line to finish with six points and a pair of rebounds in five minutes against the Hoyas.

College Basketball Invitational Tournament March 13: Utah Valley 87, Eastern Washington 65

Big Sky & EWU – 90 Game Combined Points, Bogdan Bliznyuk & Jacob Wiley (previous records unknown, but no two players have scored 41 or more each in the same game in the Big Sky and no two Eastern players have scored 31 or more in the same game)

More Milestones from EWU’s 130-124 Victory Over Portland State on 2/4/17 . . . * The combined 90 points by Bliznyuk and Wiley was easily a school and Big Sky Conference record, and came just two points from the NCAA Division I mark of 92 set by Kevin Bradshaw (72) & Isaac Brown (20) for U.S. International (now Alliant International) vs. Loyala Marymount on Jan. 5, 1991. Interestingly, they combined for 68 (Bradshaw 37, Brown 31) in a 118-83 loss to Eastern on Feb. 2, 1991, and 39 the year before (Bradshaw 30, Brown 9) in a 102-93 victory over EWU on Dec. 21, 1989. * The 20 free throws attempted by Bogdan Bliznyuk equaled the second-most in school history behind the record of 21, and his 17 free throws made were second behind the record of 20 (Tyler Harvey was 20-of-20 on 1/23/14 vs. Southern Utah, and Matt Piper was 17-of-21 on 12/28/82 vs. Humboldt State). * With 92 being the NCAA record for combined points, it was the first time in NCAA history two players have scored at least 45 points in the same game. Notre Dame had two players also score 90 on Feb. 23, 1970, in a 121-114 non-overtime win over Butler (Austin Carr with 50 and Collis James with 40). Loyola Marymount’s Bo Kimble and the late Hank Gathers each scored 40 against Gonzaga in 1989, and the Bulldogs also had a 40-point scorer in that game, Doug Spradley. On Feb. 20, 1971, Idaho State’s Willie Humes scored 58 points and MSU’s Bill Brickhouse and Willie Weeks each scored 38 in a 105-92 Bobcat win, also in regulation. * On Big Sky Conference lists, the 45 points both Bliznyuk and Wiley scored equaled the 12th-most in the 54-year history of the league.

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2018-19 Head Coach

ship game in his debut season.

SHANTAY LEGANS

He was an Eastern assistant for eight years before becoming EWU’s 10th coach at the NCAA Division I level. Legans spent six years on the staff of Jim Hayford (now head coach at Seattle), and two previous seasons under former head coach Kirk Earlywine (now an assistant at Idaho). Legans was associate head coach under Hayford for the final three of those eight seasons.

Second Season (10th Overall at EWU) Fresno State ‘04

L

ike the strides the Eastern Washington University Basketball program has made since he arrived as an assistant in 2009, Shantay Legans made some history as a head coach too in the 2017-18 season when he led the Eagles to a fourthstraight national postseason tournament berth.

His 20 wins are the most by a first-year Eastern coach in EWU’s NCAA Division I era, besting Ray Giacoletti with 17 in the 2000-01 season. Joe Folda also won 17 games in 1982-83 as an interim head coach during Eastern’s rise from NAIA to NCAA Division I. Thus, you have to go back to the 1942-43 season when Bob Brumblay won 27 games in his debut season to find a rookie Eastern coach with more than 18 victories, which is also the only time it’s happened.

Among the victories was a 67-61 triumph at Stanford to break EWU’s 21-game losing streak versus Pacific-12 Conference foes. Interestingly, he played for California for three seasons from 2000-03 and the Bears lost to the Cardinal in all five meetings.

He also was instrumental in the development of of Big Sky Conference all-time leading scorer Bogdan Bliznyuk, who left EWU in 2018 as the Big Sky Conference Player of the Year and an honorable mention All-America selection. Bliznyuk played in the NABC All-Star game at the “Final Four” after finishing with 2,169 career points and breaking a total of 16 school records along the way.

Entering his 10th season on the EWU coaching staff, Legans was announced as EWU’s new head basketball coach on March 29, 2017. Legans is the 18th coach in Eastern history, and directed the Eagles to a 13-5 record in the Big Sky Conference and appearance in the BSC Tournament champion-

Legans has been a part of Eastern teams from the 2013-14 through 2017-18 seasons which have win totals of 15, 26, 18, 22 and 20 games. The three 20-victory seasons are the top three win totals in EWU’s 34-year history in NCAA Division I. The combined 101 wins in five seasons, 86 victories in four seasons, 66 in three and 44 in two are also the most since EWU became a member of NCAA Division I in the 1983-84 season. The same can be said of EWU’s stretch of league victories ­– 10, 14, 10, 13, 13 – in that five-year span.

Legans has coached in 13 Big Sky Conference Tournament games, with a record of 8-5 in five appearances. Eastern’s 2014-15 squad won the title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament with a trio of victories in Missoula, Montana. Included was a come-from-behind 69-65 win over the host Grizzlies in the championship game.

A former player at Cal and Fresno State, Legans assisted Hayford in recruiting, scouting and game preparation for the Eagles, as well as on-the-floor coaching and the development of EWU’s backcourt players.

Eastern has had its first back-to-back-to-back national tournament postseason appearances at the Division I level with a current stretch of four-straight, including its first-ever win (79-72 over Pepperdine in the College Basketball Invitational in 2016). He helped coach Eastern to a 26-9 record overall, Big Sky Conference regular season and tournament titles and a NCAA Tournament appearance in the 2014-15 season.

Besides coaching Bliznyuk at Eastern, Legans has helped developed a quartet of All-Big Sky Conference guards in Glen Dean, Cliff Colimon, Tyler Harvey, and Austin McBroom. Dean was the league’s Freshman of the Year in 2010 and an All-BSC guard in 2011; Colimon earned first-team all-league and All-Big Sky Conference Tournament honors as a senior in 2012.

Bliznyuk followed in the footsteps of Jacob Wiley, who was a graduate transfer at EWU in 2016-17 and was also Big Sky MVP and an honorable mention All-America selection. Wiley eventually signed a contract and played with the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA, and also saw action for the Long Island Nets in the G-League. Both Wiley and Bliznyuk excelled at the Portsmouth Invitational pre-draft tournament.

“Bogdan is a prime example of what Eastern Washington Basketball is all about,” Legans said. “He is a humble, hard-working and dedicated player on and off the court. What he has been able to accomplish for himself and our program is truly remarkable.”

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2018-19 Legans helped develop Harvey from an Eastern walk-on to NBA draftee, including Harvey’s transition to a starting position late in the 2012-13 season.

Harvey averaged 16.5 points on 55 percent shooting from the field (including 20-of-44 3-point attempts) in EWU’s last eight games that year after scoring just 17 points in the first 13 games he played.

In the 2013-14 season, Harvey was a first team All-Big Sky selection and earned second team honors on the National Association of Basketball Coaches All-District 6 team – EWU’s first player honored on that team since Rodney Stuckey in 2007. He followed that by leading NCAA Division I in scoring (23.1) and 3-pointers (4.0) per game in the 2014-15 season, and was eventually taken in the second round of the NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic as the 51st pick overall.

Harvey also earned honorable mention All-America honors and was a first team Academic All-America selection. Harvey was also MVP of the Big Sky Conference Tournament. The year after, McBroom earned first team All-Big Sky and NABC All-District 6 honors in his lone season as an Eagle.

Legans came to Eastern in the 2009-10 season under then head coach Kirk Earlywine, and was retained by Jim Hayford when he took over as head coach in the 2011-12 season.

Prior to coming to Eastern, Legans was as an assistant coach for two seasons at Laguna Blanca High School in Santa Barbara, Calif. Previously, he was a student assistant coach for Ray Lopes at Fresno State for two seasons before embarking upon a more than three-year career playing professional

His high school team advanced to the CIF Playoffs each of his four seasons on the squad.

Because of his accomplishments and contributions on and off the basketball court, Legans was part of the third class of inductees into the Santa Barbara Court of Champions on June 5, 2016, in Santa Barbara, Calif. Among the other previous inductees are basketball legends Jerry West, Jamaal Wilkes, Ben Howland, Gary Colson, Gary Cunningham and Brian Shaw.

Associate Head Coach

Booker’s responsibilities as an assistant included skill development, academic monitoring, recruiting, on-court coaching (defensive emphasis), and summer camps. Booker was involved in the player-development process and has helped 10 players earn All-Big West Conference accolades in his tenure at UC Irvine.

NICK BOOKER Second Season

Booker also played a vital role in the performance of Anteater players in the classroom by working directly with UC Irvine’s academic support center to ensure the players’ obligations are met. In his career at UC Irvine, Booker has helped sign, and maintain eligibility, of arguably the best recruiting classes in UC Irvine history.

Davidson ‘04 With eight years of NCAA Division I basketball experience, Nick Booker enters his second season as the associate head coach on the staff of Eastern men’s basketball head coach Shantay Legans.

His responsibilities at EWU include player skill development with emphasis on post players, and on-court coaching with defensive emphasis. He also oversees academic monitoring, recruiting, practice planning, in-season opponent scouting and summer camps.

Before coming to Eastern for the debut season of Legans, Booker spent the 2016-17 season at his alma mater, Davidson College, as director of basketball operations. The previous six seasons he was at UC Irvine in California, including the last five as an assistant coach.

As a player and coach, he has been a part of teams to advance to the NCAA Tournament twice, as well as the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) once, the College Insider Tournament (CIT) on two occasions and the College Basketball Invitational while at EWU in 2017-18. He was also an assistant on Saddleback College teams which won the California Community College Athletic Association title one season and was runner-up the year prior.

“Coach Booker has a great basketball mind, and is well-respected among basketball coaches around the country and internationally,” said Legans. “His desire to help student-athletes succeed both on and off the court is an extremely important quality for our program.

In his lone season on the staff at Davidson, the Wildcats finished 17-15 overall and 8-10 in the Atlantic 10 Conference. While on the bench for the Anteaters the previous six years, UC Irvine was 118-90 overall, 60-38 in Big West play and advanced to the postseason four times, including the 2015 NCAA Tournament.

“Nick understands what we look for in student-athletes, and knows what It takes to be a successful coach,” added Legans. “He has won at every level, first, as a player at Davidson, but also at the junior college and NCAA Division I levels as a coach.”

The 2016-17 season was Booker’s seventh year overall as a member of the UC Irvine basketball staff and his sixth as an assistant coach with the Anteater program. Booker was promoted to assistant coach prior to the 2011-12 season after serving his first

In the 2015-16 season, the Anteaters registered a school-record 28 wins and also set new UCI marks for non-conference victories (15) and road wins (13). The team advanced to the championship game of the CollegeInsider.com (CIT) postseason tournament and the Anteaters had an RPI as high as 41 (best in school history) during the regular season and a final RPI of 68.

Booker was also involved in the school’s historic 2014-15 season when the Anteaters won the Big West Conference Tournament and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time. The Anteaters fell to three-time national champion Louisville by just two points in an NCAA Second-Round game at Seattle, Wash.

The 2013-14 team advanced to the NIT and the 2012-13 squad played in the CIT where is recorded the first national postseason win in school history. That started a fouryear stretch in which the Anteaters were a collective 93-51 (21-16, 23-12, 21-13, 28-10), with a pair of Big West titles.

Booker’s efforts helped the Anteaters become one of the most feared defensive teams in the nation. In four of his seasons on the staff, UC Irvine ranked in the top 25 in field goal percentage defense, including third in 2014-15.

Prior to joining the Anteater staff, Booker served as an assistant coach at powerhouse community college, Saddleback College. Booker was instrumental in helping recruit and develop several All-State players, while the team captured the California Community College State Championship in 2009.

He graduated from Davidson College in 2004 with a bachelor’s degree in history.

He was a member of the Wildcats’ team under current Davidson College head coach Bob McKillop. Booker was a starter for the 2002 Southern Conference championship team that competed in the NCAA Tournament against Ohio State. As a senior, he led Davidson in blocked shots and steals.

Booker went on to receive his master’s degree in physical education from Azusa Pacific in 2010.

A native of San Diego, Calif., where he earned four varsity letters at The Bishop’s School, Booker has three children, Philip, Kaleb, and Ella.

He helped coach Eastern to a 26-9 record overall, Big Sky Conference regular season and tournament titles and a NCAA Tournament appearance in the 2014-15 season.

DAVID RILEY Fifth Season

In his first three seasons in the program, Riley was the team’s video and analytics coordinator, managed the team’s recruiting database and handled facility scheduling. He also assisted with player academics and summer camps.

Whitworth ‘11 David Riley begins his fifth season on the coaching staff in the 2017-18 school year after being elevated to an assistant men’s coaching position at EWU in May of 2014. He was previously Eastern’s director of basketball operations.

Riley earned first team All-NWC honors his final three seasons as a Pirate after starting 112 of 114 games in his career. He finished with 1,664 points (14.6 per game) to rank fourth in Whitworth history and made 43.1 percent of his three-point attempts (300-of696).

Riley’s main responsibilities are for payer development with emphasis on wing players, and on-court coaching with offensive emphasis. He also helps with academic monitoring, recruiting, practice planning, in-season scouting of opponents and summer camps.

In April of 2017, Riley was selected by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) on its 2016-17 Under Armour 30-under-30 squad. The honor recognized Riley among a group of up and coming young coaches in men’s college basketball.

“What a great honor for coach Riley to be recognized as one of the best young coaches in Division I men’s college basketball,” said Eastern head coach Shantay Legans. “There is no doubt in my mind that David will continue to climb the ladder in the basketball coaching ranks.”

“David is a very intelligent, hard-working individual who comes from a family of great coaches,” Legans added. “Being a coach is in his genes, and he has taken the next step to assume more responsibility with recruiting. He is proving he can identify the right talent and create relationships with potential players and their families.”

Riley played for former EWU head coach Jim Hayford at Whitworth University in Spokane, Wash., from the 2007-08 season through 2010-11, earning All-Northwest Conference accolades all four years. Whitworth teams were a collective 98-18 while Riley was there, with three NWC titles (55-9 in league play) and four appearances in the NCAA Division III Tournament.

He graduated in 2011 from Whitworth, then joined Hayford at EWU the following season. Riley helped as a manager and team operations assistant three previous seasons, including the first two as a graduate assistant. He received his master of science degree in physical education from EWU in 2013.

Riley has played a key role in EWU recording three 20-victory seasons – the top three win totals in EWU’s 34-year history in NCAA Division I. From the 2013-14 through 2017-18 seasons the Eagles have win totals of 15, 26, 18, 22 and 20 games. The combined 101 wins in five seasons, 86 victories in four seasons, 66 in three and 44 in two are also the most since EWU became a member of NCAA Division I in the 1983-84 season. The same can be said of EWU’s stretch of league victories ­– 10, 14, 10, 13, 13 – in that five-year span.

Eastern has had its first back-to-back-to-back national tournament postseason

He averaged 16.5 points and 3.8 rebounds per game as a senior when he earned third team All-Region (D3hoops.com) honors. He made 45.6 percent of his shots from the field and 41.6 percent from three-point range (82-of-197). Riley drained a school-record 10 three-pointers and finished with 33 points in a 115-69 triumph over Willamette on Feb. 11, 2011. The Pirates finished 28-2 and advanced to the Elite Eight of the D-III Tournament for the first time in school history.

In his junior season, he averaged 13.4 points and 3.8 rebounds per game and made 40.9 percent of his 3-point shots (65-of-159). Riley scored 34 points in a win over Whitman on January 19, 2010. He helped Whitworth to a 26-3 record that included a perfect 16-0 mark in the NWC and a trip to the Sweet 16 of the D-III Tournament.

He averaged 16.4 points and 4.1 rebounds as a sophomore while making 84-of-180 3-pointers (46.7 percent). He scored a career-high 37 points in a win over PLU on Jan. 17, 2009. Whitworth finished second in the NWC during the regular season, but upset Puget Sound in the conference tournament and advanced to the D-III second round. The Pirates finished 23-6.

He averaged 11.9 points and 69-of-160 3-pointers (43.1) in his freshman campaign.

He scored 29 points in a win over Caltech on Nov. 24, 2007, in just the second game of his Pirate career. He helped the Pirates finish 21-7, win the NWC regular season championship and advance to the D-III Sweet 16 for the first time in school history.

Riley is formerly from Palo Alto, Calif., and graduated from Gunn High School in 2007.

He earned All-Central Coast Section honors as a senior at Gunn.

He was born Nov. 28, 1988, in Seattle Washington. He and his wife, Emily, were married on May 19, 2018.

His father, Edward Riley, is a Whitworth graduate and a physician and professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Edward’s brother, Mike Riley, grew up in Wallace, Idaho, and began his coaching career in 1976 at Whitworth. He received his master’s degree in 1977 and has since gone on to head coaching positions at Nebraska (2015-2017), Oregon State (1997-98, 2003-2014), the San Diego Chargers (1999-2001) and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League (1987-1990). Mike and Edward’s father, Bud Riley, was an assistant football coach at Idaho (1962-65), Oregon State (1965-72) and the head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (1974-77).

David Riley’s mother, Rev. Renee Riley, also graduated from Whitworth and was ordained in 1986. She was the Moderator of the Presbytery of San Jose in 1998. She passed away on April 6, 2005, at the age of 45 from a brain tumor.

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2018-19 SEASON OUTLOOK: Belief is in Strength in Numbers & Versatility A faster, defensive-oriented approach will help the deep and multi-talented Eagles replace back-to-back MVPs

D

ribble, drive, shoot and play defense. The Eastern Washington University men’s basketball team is full of players who can do it all.

Despite losing Big Sky Conference MVP’s in back-to-back years, the Eagles have recruited depth and versatility to help EWU remain a league title contender and candidate for a fifth-straight postseason appearance in a national tournament. Plus, second-year head coach Shantay Legans intends on having his team play more up-tempo in the 2018-19 season and create offense with their defense by employing more full-court pressure on opponents “Every team wants big guys, and everybody wants the quick little guys -- I just want players who can do multiple things,” Legans said. “I want every player to be a Swiss Army knife. I want them to be able to do everything. I want shooters to be able to put it on the floor. I want guys who can drive to be able to knock down open threes. I want guys to be able to switch on defense.”

The term “Not Yet” is the team’s mantra for the season in order to strive to achieve the championship success they’ve come up just short of in the past three seasons. The pillars of the program utilize the acronym FTC for Family, Trust and Commitment, and Legans expects that to translate to the team’s play on the court.

“It is going to be a lot of fun,” Legans said. “I think we will have four or five guys on the court at a time that can handle the ball, pass the ball, shoot the ball, and drive the ball. If you get all that and everybody is going in the right direction, I think we will be a hard team to guard.”

The Eagles had a highly-competitive and highly-successful season in the first year at the helm for Legans. His squad went on a late-season eight-game winning streak that was the best in 14 years, and the Eagles were among a record six Big Sky teams who won at least 20 games in the 2017-18 season.

The team had just three seniors, but two of them – Bogdan Bliznyuk and Sir Washington – became the school’s winningest players in EWU’s history as a member of NCAA Division I. They helped EWU win 86 games overall and 50 in the Big Sky Conference, and led the Eagles to national postseason tournaments in each of those four seasons.

This year, the team does not return any players who averaged in double figures a year ago, but seven returning letter winners averaged between 16.0 and 26.1 minutes and 6.3 and 7.7 points per game. Eastern has a trio of seniors, but also has five sophomores and a pair of redshirt freshmen on its roster.

“It is going to be a lot of fun and our future is really bright,” said Legans.

“And I think our future could be now -- I’m not saying ‘let’s wait until next year.’

I think those seniors and juniors are really good and they are complemented really well by the sophomores and the freshmen we are bringing in. So I am really excited, and I wish the season could start next week.”

Bliznyuk was the league MVP and became the third Eagle in the last four years to earn both honorable mention Associated Press All-America honors and first team Lou Henson mid-major All-America accolades. Jacob Wiley earned both honors in 2017 and Tyler Harvey was honored in 2015. Alvin Snow (2004) and Rodney Stuckey (2006 & 2007) also earned honorable mention All-America honors from AP. Wiley was the league’s MVP as a graduate transfer in the 2017-18 season in his only year in the program.

Eagle Head Coach SHANTAY LEGANS “Bogdan did so many great things, and the best thing he provided was his leadership,” said Legans. “He kept everybody tightly bound together. That’s probably the biggest asset that we are losing. As you go through my nine years here going into my 10th, there have always been very good players we’ve had to replace, and replacing their leadership is challenging. I am hoping that the players who played with him last year all picked up on that and will lead like he did.”

Bliznyuk scored 2,169 career points, breaking the previous Big Sky Conference record of 2,102 and smashing the previous EWU record of 1,803. He finished his senior campaign with 741 points in the 2017-18 season, breaking the previous school record of 738 set three years ago by Tyler Harvey and ranking sixth in conference history. He finished his collegiate career with a total of 16 school records, a variety of Big Sky Conference Tournament marks and a NCAA Division I single season free throw record with 77-straight makes.

The transition to life without Bliznyuk started in the spring, and Legans likes the potential of his veteran team. The returning players include honorable mention All-Big Sky Conference forward Mason Peatling, who Legans thinks has a chance to average a double-double in league play if not for the entire season.

“We are going to play a lot different, so we need guys to step up,” said Legans. “We are trying to get these guys to understand their primary roles early.”

Eagle Frontcourt . . .

Jesse Hunt was on his way to All-Big Sky honors before his junior season was shortened with a foot injury. Peatling took advantage of the increased minutes and received honorable mention All-BSC accolades.

Hunt ended up starting five of the 20 games he played, averaging 7.5 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. He’ll enter his senior season with 17 starts in 83 total games, with averages of 3.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.4 blocks per game – marks that only scratch the surface of his capabilities entering his senior campaign.

Peatling, meanwhile, has started 43 of the 65 games he has played in his career, and has averages of 5.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.7 blocked shots.

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2018-19 Shadle Park High School, will also be a force down low. Jordan Veening, a 6-6 true freshman, is the only other foward on the roster, but swing man Kim Aiken Jr. will also see action in the frontcourt.

“We have a pretty good trio of bigs down there who can really play,” said Legans. “I think Mason will be one of the best big men in the league. I think there is a lot of upside and a lot of star power on our team. Last year we spaced the floor around Bogdan and it was hard for people to guard him. Next year, Jacob (Davison) will be hard to guard, and Mason will be hard to guard. Now we have multiple guys coming at you in different ways, and I think we will have multiple guys scoring over 10 points a game.”

One player waiting in the wings to compete will be Savannah State (Ga.) transfer Ralueke “Sticks” Orizu. Although Savannah State is transitioning to NCAA Division II, the 6-foot-9, 190-pound Orizu will still have to sit out the season because of NCAA transfer rules.

“He is a very good shot blocker and offensively he’s got a long way to go, but he plays around the rim,” said Legans. “He dunks the ball, so he is going to be something kind of like a project. He is a really talented player, but he has to learn our system and how we want to play. Defensively I think he could probably be one of the best shot blockers in the league when he starts playing. He has unbelievable timing and has a seven-foot-one wing span.”

“When you sit back and think about everything, he has a whole year in our program before he even plays,” Legans added. “It is kind of like his freshman year and he will be playing against Mason and Jesse. He is going to learn how to play at our pace very quickly, because those guys play really hard. The next year Mason will be a senior and he will be a sophomore along with Tanner.

When he gets out there he’ll learn how to play and how we want to do things.”

Senior Guard TY GIBSON with Senior Forward JESSE HUNT

Eagle Backcourt . . .

Eastern returns three starting guards, another budding Big Sky standout off the bench and a fifth who was injured and redshirted in 2017-18. Add to that a pair of transfers who redshirted last year, plus a redshirt freshman, and the Eagles have depth to both shoot and drive the ball.

“There are multiple guys on this roster who I think can step up and play deep,” said Legans of the abilities of his guards. “We want to play much faster and I think we will be able to turn teams over a lot more next year. Especially with our depth at the guard position, we will be able to pick up man-to-man full court. We are going to do a little bit more on the defensive end to create a lot more offensive looks for us. We’re going to push the ball -- we have multiple guys that can make plays on the court.”

Seniors Cody Benzel and Ty Gibson return with 101 and 97 games of experience, respectively. Benzel has started 27 games in his career, averaging 13.4 minutes and 4.9 points (6.6 as a junior) per game. Gibson has started 38 career games and has a 4.5 scoring average (6.3 as a junior) in an average of 17.4 minutes per game.

Both players are three-point threats with Benzel ranking ninth in school history with 145 3-pointers, shooting at a 41.9 percent clip to rank 10th all-time at EWU. Gibson has made 119 3-pointers and is 13th in school history with 40.2 percent accuracy.

Add in BYU transfer Steven Beo, and the Eagles will have three proven top-notch shooters in the league. Beo played in 31 games as a freshman for BYU in 2016-17 after averaging 27.7 points as a junior and 26.7 as a senior at Richland (Wash.) High School.

“I think we have two of the best shooters in the league, with Ty and Cody,” said Legans. “And that’s not even mentioning Steven, who nobody got to see

last year, but fans from the area know he’s an unbelievable shooter. So I think we have three of the best shooters in all the conference.”

Sophomore Luka Vulikic started Eastern’s first eight games at point guard before a foot ailment resulted in him redshirting. He averaged 7.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in an average of 25.6 minutes per game, that after coming off a freshman season in which he started 22 of 32 games and averaged 2.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists.

True freshman Jack Perry stepped up nicely, starting 27 of the 35 games he played and hitting big shots in some crucial moments for the Eagles. He finished with averages of 6.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 27.3 minutes per game, while sinking 56-of-130 3-pointers for 43.1 percent.

Also back at guard is athletic wing Jacob Davison, who earned a starting position for seven games but felt more comfortable coming off the bench. He finished second on the team with 242 total points (7.1 per game), and was a stat stuffer with 94 rebounds (2.8), 27 steals, 18 assists and 11 blocked shots.

He also sank 27-of-65 3-pointers for 41.5 percent.

Junior college transfer Tyler Kidd and redshirt freshman Kim Aiken Jr. were in the program a year ago as redshirts. Newcomers include highly-touted true freshman Elijah Jackson out of Chief Sealth High School in Seattle, as well as Californians Austin Fadal and Mike Meadows. Freshman Casson Rouse from Timberline High School in Lacey, Wash., and sophomore walk-on Joshua Thomas round out the guards.

“I think we have two of the most athletic wings in the conference with Jacob and Elijah,” said Legans. “Jacob Davison is an unbelievable athlete who can really score, and we have some freshmen who can score too.”

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2018-19 Junior Forward MASON PEATLING

Schedule . . .

It will be another year of challenge after challenge when the Eagles embark upon their 2018-19 nonconference schedule, including four home games at Reese Court.

Eastern will play 11 games – four at home and seven on the road – prior to the start of Big Sky Conference play on Dec. 29. Three of the road games will be at Pac-12 Conference foes, as well as a cross-country trip to play EWU’s season-opener at Syracuse on Nov. 6.

“It’s a challenge, but we’ll be ready for tip-off on Nov. 6,” said Legans. “We’ll be tested on the road again, and our four games at home will be challenging as well.

We’re looking forward to the non-conference portion of our schedule preparing us for our league schedule and ultimately the Big Sky Tournament in March.”

Eastern will host Green Bay on Nov. 16 and either UMKC or Morehead State on Nov. 17, respectively, as part of a sub-regional of the 2K Classic benefitting the Wounded Warrior Project. The Eagles will also host powerhouse South Dakota State on Dec. 18, and Walla Walla on Dec. 21.

When the Eagles open the season on Nov. 6, they’ll face a Syracuse team coming off a 23-14 record and appearance in the “Sweet 16” of the NCAA Tournament. Under veteran head coach Jim Boeheim, the Orange beat Arizona State (60-56), TCU (57-52) and Michigan State (55-53) before bowing to Duke (69-65). It will be EWU’s first-ever meeting versus Syracuse, which finished 8-10 in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Eastern follows that by playing at Oregon on Nov. 9, which along with Syracuse, are also games played as part of the 2K Classic. After the 2K Classic sub-regional at Reese Court, the Eagles play their next five games on the road –- Washington, Seattle, North Dakota State and Stanford. Last season, in just the third game under Legans, Eastern upset Stanford 81-67 on Nov. 14, 2017.

In all, Eastern’s non-conference schedule will include teams from seven different conferences – ACC, Pac-12, Horizon, Ohio Valley, Western Athletic, Summit and the West Coast. The 11 non-conference opponents EWU will play or could potentially play combined for a 202-170 overall record last season, and were 90-92 in their respective leagues.

Besides the success of Syracuse, South Dakota State also advanced to the NCAA Tournament and finished 28-7 after winning the Summit League title with a 13-1 record. Washington, Stanford and Oregon all played in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), winning first-round games before bowing out in the second round.

Seattle and San Francisco joined EWU in the 2018 CBI. Both Eastern and the Redhawks – coached by former Eagle head coach Jim Hayford – fell in the first round. But the Dons advanced all the way to the championship series versus North Texas where USF won 72-62 in the opener but lost 69-55 and 88-77 in the next two games.

In all, 10 of EWU’s 21 NCAA Division opponents appeared in postseason NCAA Division I Tournaments. Montana represented the Big Sky in the NCAA Tournament, while Portland State and Northern Colorado both played in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament (CIT).

As expected, the 2018-19 schedule of games in the Big Sky Conference for

the Eagles will have a few twists and turns. It includes 20 league games for the first time since the 2013-14 and 2012-13 seasons. Those were the only years in the league’s 55-year history the schedule has included 20 conference games.

The departure of North Dakota left the league with 11 members, making for a challenge in scheduling 20 games for each team in a span of 11 weekends. Travel partners – such as Idaho paired with EWU – were retained as much as possible, but the “lone wolf” is always prevalent when scheduling an odd amount of teams.

Most notably, Eastern will play four games on Monday, including three at home at Reese Court in Cheney, Wash. The Eagles will also host Montana and Montana State in back-to-back games, but those will come nine days apart.

However, the good news for the Eagles is that their road travel schedule is as good as could be expected. The lone Monday road game is at Northern Colorado -- four days after the Eagles play at nearby local rival Idaho.

“Scheduling 11 teams in a 20-game schedule is definitely a difficult task,” said Legans. “But we are pleased with how it came out for us. It’s definitely different playing on Mondays, but we’ll embrace the challenges and fight to win the league title.”

The Big Sky Conference Championship, which will take place in Boise, Idaho, for the next three years, is scheduled for March 13-16, 2019 at CenturyLink Arena.

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2018-19 #20 - Cody Benzel - G - 6-4 - 175 - Sr. - 3L* - Spokane, Wash. / Ferris HS ‘14

Shantay Legans Comments: “He had a terrific junior season. The thing that got him on the floor last year was his understanding of our defensive gameplans and of course his ability to stretch the floor. Though he was never labeled a defensive player during his early career, Cody placed an increased emphasis on that part of his game and wanted to show he could defend. Since then he’s been playing great basketball and has helped us out tremendously on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor. He has had his best summer and has shown great leadership.”

Career: The Big Sky Conference Tournament championship game on March 10, 2018, was Benzel’s 100th game as an Eagle. In his 101-game career (27 as a starter), Benzel has averaged 13.4 minutes, 4.9 points and has 84 rebounds, 41 assists and 40 steals. He has made 145-of-346 3-pointers in his career to rank ninth and 11th, respectively on EWU’s all-time leaders list. His 41.9 percent accuracy is 10th-best in school history. In four games in national postseason tournaments, he has seven points, five rebounds and a pair of assists.

2017-18: Was named to the Big Sky All-Academic team. Benzel made 67 3-pointers to rank 11th in school history. He ranked 12th in the Big Sky Conference in 3-point shooting overall at 41.6 percent (67-of-161), including 50-of-112 (44.6 percent) in league games only to rank fifth. He also ranked fourth in league games only with an average of 2.8 treys per game. Benzel averaged 2.0 3-pointers per game to rank 11th overall in the league, and averaged 6.6 points per game (8.9 in league games only). Benzel finished with eight games in double figures (16 in his career) and a pair with at least 20. He picked up his pace in conference play, averaging 8.9 after owning a 4.5 average during non-conference play when he made only 16-of-42 (38.1 percent) 3-point attempts. Benzel scored at least 15 points five times during a nine-game stretch from Jan. 6 to Feb. 9, including a career-high 25 against Sacramento State (1/6/18) when he was 7-of-10 from the 3-point stripe, and 21 against Portland State (2/3/18).

2016-17: For the season, Benzel averaged 4.6 points on 47-of105 shooting from the 3-point stripe (44.8 percent to rank third in the Big Sky). In league games only, he led the league at 56.8 percent (21-of-37). Benzel came off the bench to make all four of his 3-point attempts in the first half to finish with 12 points in EWU’s 130-124 victory over Portland State (2/4/17) in three overtimes. It was his fifth double figure scoring game of the season and eighth of his career, but first since scoring 11 at Seattle (12/4/16). He hit a trio of 3-pointers in EWU’s Big Sky Conference Tournament game against Sacramento State (3/9/17).

He made his collegiate debut in EWU’s opener at Mississippi State (11/13/15) and made the first start of his career against Great Falls.

2014-15: Redshirted. He showed glimpses of what’s to come when he scored 15 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the 3-point stripe in EWU’s 89-55 exhibition victory over Puget Sound (11/9/14). He also had three rebounds and a steal in 11 minutes of action.

High School: Graduated from Ferris High School in 2014. He capped his career by playing in the Washington Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association (WIBCA) All-State Game. Was given honorable mention 4A All-State accolades by Associated Press as selected by sportswriters and broadcasters. Earned MVP honors in the Greater Spokane League as a senior after averaging 21.4 points per game. He made 48 percent of his shots from three-point range and 58 percent from inside the arc. Benzel led Ferris to a final record of 18-5 after dropping its last two games of the season. Prior to that, he scored 19 points with two assists and two dunks to help Ferris capture the 4A District 8 title. Benzel also had season-best outings of 36 and 34 points. Earlier in the season, he broke a 63-all tie with a basket with 27 seconds left to beat Mead 6763. He also earned first team All-GSL honors as a junior when he averaged 18.6 points. He scored a career-high 37 points in the district playoffs in 2013. Benzel also lettered as a sophomore.

Personal: Marketing major at Eastern. Benzel was born Oct. 29, 1995, in Spokane, Wash. His parents are Ron and Molly Benzel. His older siblings, Jenny and Erik, also played basketball at Ferris. Jenny was a four-year starter and 2000 graduate, and Erik graduated the following year after starting two seasons for the Saxons. Erik played four seasons from 2001-05 at the University of Denver, and scored 17 points each of three games versus EWU. Denver won two of those, and Erik made 9-of-19 3-pointers (47 percent), 18-of-36 shots overall (50 percent) and had five steals collectively in his career versus EWU.

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2018-19 #2 - Ty Gibson - G - 6-3 - 190 - Sr. - 3L - Issaquah, Wash. / Issaquah HS ‘15

Shantay Legans Comments: “When Ty has it going he can be one of the best shooters in not only the Big Sky, but in all of NCAA basketball. Ty has a unique ability to shoot the ball from anywhere on the court at a high percentage. He has worked hard this summer on getting back to being a wellrounded scorer and not just a shooter. We look forward to Ty having a great senior season.”

Career: In his 97-game career (38 as a starter), Gibson has averaged 17.4 minutes, 4.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and has 82 assists and 38 steals. He has made 119-of-296 3-pointers in his career, with both marks ranking just out of EWU’s top 10. His 40.2 percent accuracy is currently 13th-best in school history. In four games in national postseason tournaments, Gibson has scored 11 points with two rebounds and an assist.

2017-18: Was named to the Big Sky All-Academic team for the third-straight season. With 61 3-pointers made, Gibson ranks 16th in school history after a season in which he started 29 games and played in all 35. He averaged 1.7 3-pointers per game to rank 14th in the league. One of the team’s co-captains, Gibson averaged 6.3 points per game and scored in double figures 10 times (16 in his career). He had a career-high five assists versus Portland State (3/8/18) in the quarterfinals of the Big Sky Tournament, eclipsing the four he had on two previous occasions. He made four 3-pointers in seven attempts versus Southern Utah (3/1/18) to finish with 13 points.

His high for the season was 15 points at Wyoming (12/12/17). He scored in double figures seven times in 13 pre-conference games and three of 18 league contests.

2016-17: Earned Big Sky All-Academic honors for the second time and was nominated by EWU for CoSIDA Academic All-America honors. In 34 games played (seven as a starter), Gibson averaged 5.2 points on 47.7 percent shooting from the field, including 48of-99 3-pointers (47.7 percent to rank second in the Big Sky).

Shantay Legans Comments: “Jesse has experienced his share of both ups and downs in his three years for us so far, but as he’s worked hard and battled through adversity. He has shown flashes of greatness and the potential to be a force in the Big Sky. Before going down with a foot injury last season, he gave us a boost in practically every statistical category. He is a jack-of-all-trades and our swiss army knife, with a rare ability to play all five positions on the court. Now back to full health, we are expecting Jesse to have his best year by far in an Eagle uniform.”

Career: In his 83-game career (17 as a starter), Hunt has averaged 12.0 minutes, 3.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and has 29 blocks. Hunt did not play in 2018 versus Utah Valley in the College Basketball Invitational, but has played in three other postseason games and has seven points and eight rebounds.

With his high basketball IQ, he is a great leader and a coach on the floor, knowing exactly what the team needs at all times. He showed a tremendous ability to hit HUGE shots for us last year and we look forward to a lot of the same from him this year.”

Though he had an up and down early start of the season, he greatly improved over the course of the year and ended up one of the best players on our team -- and even in the conference. His athleticism, matched with his scoring ability, is really going to make him a player to be reckoned with his sophomore season.”

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2018-19 #4 - Ralueke Orizu - F - 6-9 - 190 - So. - TR - Atlanta, Ga. / South Cobb HS ’17 / Savannah State (Ga.)

Shantay Legans Comments: “`Sticks’ should bring a valuable skillset to our team that we have not seen since the likes of former Eagle Martin Seiferth. His shot blocking ability and his length should be a great anchor to our defense in years to come and a great complement to the rest of the roster. He has enormous potential.”

2018-19: Because of NCAA transfer rules, Orizu will sit out the 2018-19 season and will still have three years of eligibility remaining.

Savannah State: Orizu averaged 3.9 points and 3.1 rebounds as a freshman in 2017-18 at Savannah State, a NCAA Division I school in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. He played in 26 of the team’s 32 games and had one start, and sank 54.3 percent of his shots from the field. He had a season-high 19 points on 9-of-10 shooting from the field against Morgan State, and his other double figure scoring performance was 12 versus Carver College when he also had a season-high eight rebounds. He sank 9-of-13 free throws versus Louisiana and added seven boards in that game.

HS: Graduated from South Cobb HS in 2018. He averaged 12.5 points and 9.2 rebounds as a senior while making 52 percent of his shots from the field. His team finished 23-8 in the 2016-17 season and advanced to the semifinals of the State AAAAAA Tournament in Georgia.

Personal: He is interested in studying chemistry at EWU with hopes to become a pharmacist. Born Jan. 6, 1999, in Atlanta, Ga. His full name is Ralueke Joseph Orizu. His parents are Prince and Chichi Orizu. His name is pronounced “ray-LAY-kay or-EEzoo.” #1 - Austin Fadal - G - 6-4 - 175 - Fr. - HS - San Ramon, Calif. / Monte Vista HS ’17 / Hillcrest Prep (Ariz.)

Shantay Legans Comments: “Austin is a tremendously gifted scorer on the court, and an even better person and student off the court. He represents everything we look for in a student-athlete at Eastern Washington University. He fits into our tremendous culture perfectly, and we expect Austin to blend into our system seamlessly on the court.”

Hillcrest Prep: Fadal was one of the eight finalists nationwide for the National Prep Hoops Offensive Post-Graduate/Prep School Player of the Year. While at Hillcrest, he scored 33 points against nationallyranked Cochise Junior College on Nov. 17, 2017.

HS: Graduated from Monte Vista HS in 2017. A 3.5 student as a senior, Fadal averaged over 18 points and six assists per game in his high school career. However, he injured his knee in December of his senior season at Monte Vista, and the Mustangs finished just 12-14. He was the leading scorer on teams he played for since his sophomore season, and earned first team All-East Bay honors as a junior at Monte Vista. In his junior season at Monte Vista, Fadal helped his team finish 24-8 overall and 11-3 in the East Bay League to finish as the runner-up. The Mustangs advanced to the 2016 CIF Division I Championships, beating Oakland Tech 53-43 in the second round before falling to eventual runner-up Berkeley 64-52 in the quarterfinals. His coach at Monte Vista was Nick Jones. As a sophomore, Fadal played at Dougherty Valley High School in San Ramon, Calif., and helped the Wildcats to a 16-10 record as he averaged 18 points, four rebounds, and three assists.

Personal: He is interested in studying business management at EWU, and since he was 15 has been involved in entrepreneurial endeavors. Born Oct. 27, 1999, in San Leandro, Calif. His parents are Marilyn and Sylvester Fadal, and he has two sisters, Lexy and Isi. 2018/2017/2016 CBI TOURNAMENT • 2015/2004 NCAA TOURNAMENT • 2003 NIT • 2015/2004/2000 BIG SKY CHAMPIONS

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2018-19 “HOT ROD” PLAYS 3 SEASONS WITH PACERS AFTER 7 YEARS & 500 GAMES WITH PISTONS

A

fter more than 500 games with the Detroit Pistons, Rodney Stuckey concluded his third year as an Indiana Pacer – 10th in the NBA overall – in the 2016-17 season.

Making Eastern Washington University history every step of the way, Stuckey had his dream of playing professional basketball realized on June 28, 2007. That day, the Detroit Pistons of the National Basketball Association selected Stuckey as the 15th pick overall in the NBA Draft at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

He made his NBA debut in the 2007 Summer League in Las Vegas, Nev., helping the Pistons to a 4-1 record with averages of 30.6 minutes, 19.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game. But he injured his hand during the preseason and missed the first 25 games of the regular season. He finally made his NBA debut on Dec. 21, 2007, and his first start in the NBA was on March 1, 2008, in a 103-73 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.

He was impressive as a rookie, earning second team NBA All-Rookie Team honors as selected by the league’s head coaches. He finished his first season with averages of 19.8 minutes, 7.8 points and 2.9 assists per game as the Pistons advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals where they lost to eventual NBA champion Boston. His minutes increased in the playoffs as he averaged 8.2 points and 3.4 assists, while making 87.9 percent of his free throws, in 17 playoff games.

In his second season in 2008-09, Stuckey started 65 of 79 games, averaging 31.9 minutes, 13.4 points, 4.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.5 rebounds. In his third season, he was a starter in all but six of the 73 games he played and averaged 34.2 minutes, 16.6 points, 4.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 3.8 rebounds.

In the 2010-11 season – his fourth – he started 54 of 70 games and averaged 15.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.1 steals and a career-high 5.2 assists. In 2011-12 – his fifth season as a pro – Stuckey started 48 of 55 games and averaged 14.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 0.8 steals and a 3.8 assists. His sixth NBA season in 2012-13 ended with him starting 24 of 76 games and averaging 11.5 points, 3.6 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 0.7 steals. In his seventh and final campaign with the Pistons, Stuckey averaged 13.9 points, 2.1 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 0.7 steals.

In 2014-15 – his eighth season as a pro and first with the Indiana Pacers – Stuckey averaged 12.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 0.8 steals per game in 71 games (36 starts). Stuckey signed a new 3-year, $21 million contract with the Pacers on July 21, 2015.

In his ninth season in 2015-16, he averaged 8.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists in the regular season before playing in the playoffs for the first time in seven seasons. He averaged 6.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists in a seven-game playoff loss to Toronto. Stuckey, who missed 19 games in January and February with an ankle sprain, had season highs of 23 points (twice) and eight assists.

Because of injuries, he played in only 39 games in 2016-17 -- his 10th season in the NBA -- and averaged 7.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists. A strained patellar tendon led to his being waived by the Pacers on March 29, 2017.

Stuckey is EWU’s highest draft pick ever (three through 2015-16), and at the time was the second-highest selection in the now more than 50-year history of the Big Sky Conference Eastern’s only previous NBA draftee before Studkey was Ron Cox, a sixth-round draft choice by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1977. Although he never played a game in the NBA, Cox was EWU’s all-time leading scorer for nearly 40 years with 1,741 points, as Stuckey finished fourth in school history at the time with 1,438 points. Tyler Harvey was picked in the second round by Orlando in the 2015 draft (51st overall) after a three-year career in which he surpassed Stuckey with 1,564 points.

The only other first-round draft choice in the history of the Big Sky Conference was Michael Ray Richardson from Montana. He was the fourth pick overall by the New York Knickerbockers in 1978. In 2012, Damian Lillard of Weber State was drafted as the sixth pick overall by Portland.

A 2004 graduate of Kentwood High School in Kent, Wash., Stuckey was an All-American at Eastern – both athletically and academically – after averaging 24 points per game in each of his two seasons. He helped EWU win 30 games in two seasons and had a 3.34 grade point average.

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2018-19 Magician on the Court, Tyler Harvey Drafted in NBA by Orlando Former Eagle megastar is chosen in the second round as the 51st pick overall

A

fter performing his magic act at Reese Court for three seasons, Tyler Harvey made the transition from Eagle to professional.

Now playing professionally in France, the former Eagle sharpshooter was selected by the Orlando Magic in the second round as the 51st pick overall of the National Basketball Association Draft on June 25 in Brooklyn, N.Y. In his first taste of the NBA during the Orland Pro Summer League, Harvey led the Magic’s Blue summer squad with 24 points and five assists in his first start in their 9185 loss to the Indiana Pacers. He made 4-of-7 from three-point range in the game, and averaged 10.6 points, 2.0 assists and 1.4 rebounds in the five total games he played.

He then played the 2015-16 season for the Erie Bay Hawks in the NBA Developmental League, and averaged 11.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in 37 games. He made 80-of-231 3-pointers for 34.6 percent, and 54-of-68 free throws for 79.4 percent. He led Erie to an improbable 125-120 victory over the Texas Legends on Dec. 29, 2015, when he made nine 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and two overtimes. He finished with 29 points as the Bay Hawks ralllied from a 22-point deficit entering the fourth quarter.

Harvey elected to skip his senior season at Eastern for the chance to play in the NBA. After declaring for the draft on April 1, Harvey had workouts with many NBA teams, and also participated in the National Basketball Association Draft Combine in Chicago from May 12-17.

Harvey was a walk-on to the Eastern program in the fall of 2011 EWU head coach Jim Hayford’s first year as head coach. After a redshirt season and playing sparingly in EWU’s first 13 games, he was a high-scoring mainstay for the Eagles in the final 71 games of his 84-game career (67 as a starter). He led NCAA Division I in scoring (23.1) and 3-pointers made per game (4.00) in the 2014-15 season.

Rodney Stuckey, who spent 10 seasons in the NBA, was drafted 15th overall by the Detroit Pistons in the 2007 NBA Draft, where he spent his first seven seasons as a pro before moving to the Indiana Pacers for the 2014-15 season. Besides Stuckey, Ron Cox is the only previous NBA draftee from Eastern.

He was a sixth-round draft choice by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1977, but did not play in a regular season NBA game because of reconstructive surgery on his left ankle.

Harvey was the first Big Sky Conference draft choice since Weber State’s Damian Lillard was selected sixth overall by the Portland Trailblazers in the first round in 2012.

Because of Harvey’s early departure, Cox remained Eastern’s all-time leading scorer a bit longer. He had 1,741 points from 1974-77, with Harvey right behind with 1,564.

Stuckey scored 1,438 in two seasons, including 726 in 2006 to set the school record broken by Harvey with 738 in the 2014-15 season. That was broken three seasons later by Bogdan Bliznyuk with 741. The career record fell in 2015-16 when Venky Jois finished with 1,803 points, and then Bliznyuk broke that with a Big Sky record of 2,169 points.

• Harvey closed the year with Big Sky and EWU single season records for season 3-pointers with 128. His 738 points were a school record and ranked fourth in league history at the time.

• In addition, Harvey was selected as the MVP of the Big Sky Conference Tournament after averaging 23.0 points, 2.7 assists and 2.0 steals per game in three games while making 10-of24 3-point shots (41.7 percent) and 22-of-43 overall (51.2 percent).

• In equaling the Big Sky Tournament record with 42 points against Idaho, Harvey had his fifth game of the season and 11th of his career with at least 30 points, and his 40th-straight game scoring in double figures (snapped when he scored nine versus Sacramento State the next night). His 42 at the time ranked third in school history behind the 45 of Rodney Stuckey (versus Northern Arizona on 1/5/06) and 44 of David Peed (versus UC Irvine on 12/13/88).

His 42 points tied the tourney record of 42 set by Anthony Johnson of Montana in 2010, and passed the 38 Stuckey had versus Portland State in 2006.

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2018-19 A record more than two months in the making, Bogdan Bliznyuk set a new NCAA Division I single season record for consecutive free throws made on March 3, 2018, in EWU’s regular season finale against Northern Arizona at Reese Court. Bliznyuk made all six of his free throws, including a pressure-packed, recordbreaking pair with 3:46 left in the Senior Day game to give him 74 and break the NCAA Division I single season record of 73 set by Gary Buchanan from Villanova over a 21-game stretch in the 2000-01 season.

His 74th is pictured. Bliznyuk sank his first three versus Portland State on March 8 before missing, ending the record at 77 in a span of 18 games dating back to EWU’s game at North Dakota on Dec. 31, The Big Sky Conference MVP finished 78-of-79 during conference play (98.7 percent), but came up short of the career record of 85-straight free throws between Feb. 15, 2001, and Jan. 18, 2003, by Darnell Archey from Butler during a 57-game stretch. Bliznyuk finished the year making a school-record 90.2 percent to rank second in the Big Sky and 12th in Division I, and his career mark of 84.0 percent ranked third at EWU all-time.

In 55 Years of the Big Sky Conference, 2,169 Points by Bogdan Bliznyuk is No. 1 BOGDAN BLIZNYUK was the 2017-18 Big Sky Conference MVP, a first team All-District 6 selection by the Natonal Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and an honorable mention All-America selection by Associated Press. He finished his career with 2,169 points, passing the record of 2,102 set by Orlando Lightfoot from Idaho in three seasons from 1991-94. Bliznyuk achieved the record on March 9 in a 32-point effort in the semifinals of the Big Sky Conference Tournament. Bliznyuk is just the fifth player in the 55-year history of the league to hit the 2,000-point mark and now he stands above them all. “It’s definitely an honor and there have been a lot of great players in this conference,” said Bliznyuk after the record fell.

In his 138th and final game of his career, Bliznyuk tied EWU’s single season scoring record with 50 seconds left, then broke it with a 3-pointer on the last shot of his illustrious career with 20 ticks remaining. Bliznyuk, the Big Sky’s all-time leading scorer with 2,169 points, finished with 741 as a senior to rank sixth in league history and break the previous school record of 738 set three years earlier

by Tyler Harvey. In setting a total of 16 school records, Bliznyuk scored 27 points in the 138th and final game of his career – the 44th time he scored at least 20 and his 100th double-digit performance. He closed his career with the NCAA Division I single season free throw record with 77-straight makes, three league marks, nine Big Sky Tournament records, 16 school records and the utmost respect from his head coach.

“I love Tyler to death, but I wasn’t about to let Bogdan go without that record,” said SHANTAY LEGANS. “Bogdan is going to understand some day how much he accomplished. It was probably the best single season a player has had at Eastern Washington and probably the best career – he’s going to be in the record books a long time.”

In his senior season, Bliznyuk made 52.8 percent of his field goals and 90.2 percent of his free throws (second in the Big Sky, 12th in NCAA Division I) to average 21.2 points (third, 23rd nationally) in 35 games. He also averaged 6.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists to rank as the only player in the league to be in the top 15 in scoring, rebounding and assists – he was actually in the top six in all three. Along with teammate Sir Washington, Bliznyuk finished as the winningest Eastern player in the school’s NCAA Division I history with 86 victories overall and 50 league wins in four seasons. He helped lead the Eagles to national postseason tournaments in each of his four seasons, including the NCAA Tournament in 2015 and the College Basketball Invitational in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Bliznyuk earned first team All-Big Sky honors in 2018, was a second team choice in 2017 and was the league’s Freshman of the Year in 2015.

Bliznyuk had two games of at least 40 points and 13 with at least 30, including the school record scoring total of 45 set as a junior. He had 10 or more rebounds 20 times and double figures in assists on three occasions, with 21 total double-doubles (17-4 record). Plus, he had the lone triple-double in school history as a sophomore. On nine other occasions an Eastern player has flirted with a triple-double (within a combined total of three rebounds and/or assists), including four by Bliznyuk, three by Drew Brandon and one each by Rodney Stuckey and Justin Crosgile.

Before Signing With the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA, Jacob Wiley Receives AP Honorable Mention All-America Honors in His Only Season as an Eagle JACOB WILEY was the best kind of a “one-and-done” college basketball player, and received a contract in the National Basketball Association to cap it. The graduate transfer concluded an incredible senior season when he was named by Associated Press as an honorable mention All-America selection in the 2016-17 season. He became just the fourth Eagle to earn that honor in 34 seasons as a member of NCAA Division I. Less than a month after the conclusion of the season, Wiley was married on April 8, then headed for Portsmouth, Va., for the 65th-Annual Portsmouth Invitational Tournament. The PIT featured 64 of the nation’s top college seniors competing in a four-day, 12-game event in front of team representatives throughout the National Basketball Association. The 2012 tournament took place April 12-15 at Churchland High School, and Wiley averaged 27.2 minutes, 17.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in three games.

His performance in Portsmouth opened the door for numerous workouts with NBA teams in preparation for the NBA Draft. Although he was not chosen, he signed a two-way contract to play with the Brooklyn Nets and the team’s NBA G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets. He averaged 6.6 minutes per game in his five games with Brooklyn, scoring four points and grabbing 11 rebounds. He scored all four of the points and eight of the rebounds in 21 minutes of action against Denver on Nov. 7, 2017. He made his regular season NBA debut versus Denver on Oct. 29, 2017. He then averaged 7.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists for Long Island, including a season-high 20 in his first game on Nov. 16, 2017. Wiley scored in double figures five times, and had a season-high seven rebounds on Jan. 2, 2018. Wiley also played with the Nets during the 2017 NBA Summer League, averaging 15.6 minutes, 2.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 0.5 blocked shots in the team’s four games in Las Vegas. A foot injury ended his 2017-18 season and subsequently he was released, but he played in the 2018 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas for the Dallas Mavericks and now plays in Australia.

Wiley was selected as the MVP of the Big Sky Conference in his lone season as an Eagle, and went on to earn first team All-District 6 honors from the National Association of Basketball Coaches, and was a MidMajor All-American as a finalist for the Lou Henson Award presented by Collegeinsider.com. Wiley made Big Sky as a senior by becoming just the second player in league history to score at least 639 points and have at least 303 rebounds in a single season in the league’s 54-year existence. He finished with totals of 694 and 309, respectively, and no other player in league history has coupled that with at least 58 blocks (Wiley finished with 94 to come one shy of the league record) or a shooting percentage of at least .621 (Wiley finished at .643). Montana’s Larry Krystkowiak (now head coach at Utah) is the other player to have at least 639/303 in the same year, and he had 709 points and 364 rebounds in the 1985-86 season.

Wiley finished the season ranked sixth in NCAA Division I in field goal percentage (.643), eighth in blocked shots (2.76 per game), 29th in scoring (20.4), 48th in rebounds (9.1) and 112th in free throw percentage (.828). En route to earning league MVP honors, he led the Big Sky in field goal percentage, rebounds and scoring, and was sixth in scoring. In league-only statistics, Wiley led in scoring (24.6), rebounding (10.3), blocked shots (2.5) and field goal percentage (.659).

He also broke school records his senior season (2015-16) for field goal accuracy (67.9 percent) and dunks (61), and also left as the school’s career leader in games started (120), dunks (159), blocked shots per game (2.0) and free throws attempted (660). Another school record – for a total of 10 – was set during his junior campaign when he had 69 blocked shots (record 2.2 per game).

RON COX, who earned All-America recognition all four seasons he played basketball for Eastern, had his No. 30 jersey retired in ceremonies taking place March 8, 2014, at Reese Court in Cheney, Wash.

Current Detroit Piston Rodney Stuckey is the only other Eastern player to have his jersey retired, and Cox’s No. 30 now hangs next to No. 3. Formerly from nearby Coulee City, Wash., Cox played four seasons for the Eagles from 1973-77. He had record totals of 1,741 points and 1,273 rebounds in leading Eastern to a 77-30 record and three Evergreen Conference titles. In his first two years playing for head coach Jerry Krause, the Eagles played in Memorial Fieldhouse along the East side of Washington Street. But the Special Events Center opened across the street in fall of 1975, and his final two seasons were played in the new facility (later additionally named Reese Court). In his senior season in 1976-77, Cox helped Eastern start a school-record 31-game home winning streak, which would continue until Dec. 8, 1978. Cox received his bachelor’s degree at Eastern in 1978 and his master’s degree in 1995. Drafted in the sixth round of the 1977 NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers, a foot injury ended his professional career before it even started. Cox went on to a highly-successful high school coaching career which included 388 victories in 26 seasons. He retired from coaching, but returned to Lakeside High School as head coach for the 2015-16 season. He was inducted into the Eastern Athletics Hall of Fame in 1998, and the 1976-77 team which finished 25-4 was inducted in 2016. Cox was admitted to the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association Hall of Fame in 2011. The 1976-77 team he played on was inducted into the Eastern Athletics Hall of Fame in 2016. He was honored in 2017 as Eastern’s “Legend of the Game” as part of EWU’s participation in the annual Legends Classic Basketball Tournament.

Senior JACOB WILEY (left) and BOGDAN BLIZNYUK combined for 90 points in EWU’s 130-124 triple-overtime win over Portland State on Feb. 4, 2017, to easily set school and Big Sky Conference records. Their performance came just two points from the NCAA Division I mark of 92 set by Kevin Bradshaw (72) & Isaac Brown (20) for U.S. International (now Alliant International) vs. Loyala Marymount on Jan. 5, 1991. Interestingly, they combined for 68 (Bradshaw 37, Brown 31) in a 118-83 loss to Eastern on Feb. 2, 1991, and 39 the year before (Bradshaw 30, Brown 9) in a 102-93 victory over EWU on Dec. 21, 1989. When Bliznyuk and Wiley both scored 45 versus PSU, it was the first time in NCAA history two players have scored at least 45 points in the same game. Notre Dame had two players also score 90 on Feb. 23, 1970, in a 121-114 non-overtime win over Butler (Austin Carr with 50 and Collis James with 40). Loyola Marymount’s Bo Kimble and the late Hank Gathers each scored 40 against Gonzaga in 1989, and the Bulldogs also had a 40-point scorer in that game, Doug Spradley.

On Feb. 20, 1971, Idaho State’s Willie Humes scored 58 points and MSU’s Bill Brickhouse and Willie Weeks each scored 38 in a 105-92 Bobcat win, also in regulation.

EAGLES CENTURY CLUB (Total of 74 Games With 100+ Points . . . 2015-16 and 2006-07 are the only seasons in 33 years as a member of NCAA Division I that Eastern has scored at least 100 points in four games. The overall record for 100-point performances is eight set in the 1970-71 season)

BOGDAN BLIZNYUK had the first triple-double in school history with 11 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists in a 96-73 victory over Northern Arizona on Jan. 16, 2016. He made 4-of-12 shots from the field and both of his free throws, and also had three blocked shots. Not even Rodney Stuckey, now of the Indiana Pacers, or former All-Big Sky point guard Drew Brandon, were able to register the rare feat. On nine occasions an Eastern player has flirted with a triple-double (within a combined total of three rebounds and/or assists), including four by Bliznyuk, three by Brandon and one each

by Stuckey and Justin Crosgile.

RONN McMAHON is one of the newest former men’s basketball players to be inducted into the Eastern Athletics Hall of Fame. Honored in 2017, McMahon was one of the top point guards in NCAA Division I as a senior in the 198990 season when he helped Eastern to an 18-11 record and runner-up finishes in the Big Sky Conference regular season and tournament. His school records of 130 steals and 4.48 average in 1990, as well as his 3.52 career average, all still rank among the top eight performances in NCAA history.

Legans Has Most Wins for a Rookie Head Coach at Eastern in 75 Years First-year head coach Shantay Legans is the 18th coach in Eastern history, and has made history of his own. His 20 wins are the most by a first-year Eastern coach in EWU’s NCAA Division I era, besting Ray Giacoletti with 17 in the 2000-01 season. Joe Folda also won 17 games in 198283 as an interim head coach during Eastern’s rise from NAIA to NCAA Division I. Thus, you have to go back to the 1942-43 season when Bob Brumblay won 27 games in his debut season to find a rookie Eastern coach with more than 18 victories, which is also the only time it’s happened.

Among the victories was a 67-61 triumph at Stanford to break EWU’s 21-game losing streak versus Pacific-12 Conference foes. Interestingly, he played for California for three seasons from 2000-03 and the Bears lost to the Cardinal in all five meetings.

Legans was an Eastern assistant for eight years before becoming EWU’s 10th coach at the NCAA Division I level. Legans spent six years on the staff of Jim Hayford (now head coach at Seattle), and two previous seasons under former head coach Kirk Earlywine (now an assistant at Idaho). Legans was associate head coach under Hayford for the final three of those eight seasons.

He has been a part of Eastern teams from the 2013-14 through 2017-18 seasons which have win totals of 15, 26, 18, 22 and 20 games. The three 20-victory seasons are among the top four win totals in EWU’s 35-year history in NCAA Division I. The combined 101 wins in five seasons, 86 victories in four seasons, 66 in three and 44 in two are also the most since EWU became a member of NCAA Division I in the 1983-84 season. The same can be said of EWU’s stretch of league victories -- 10, 14, 10, 13, 13 -- in that five-year span.

A former player at Cal and Fresno State, Legans is married to former Eastern women’s basketball player Tatjana Sparavalo. Their daughter, Zola Lee, was born June 16, 2016, and their son, Maksim (Mak) Lee, was born March 23, 2018.

The 1976-77 “Screamin’ Eagles” Men’s Basketball team was inducted into the Eastern Athletics Hall of Fame in 2016.

Under head coach JERRY KRAUSE, Eastern outscored opponents by an average of nearly 18 points per game on its way to a 25-4 record. Eastern came one victory from a berth to the NAIA Tournament after finishing as the NAIA District 1 Tournament runner-up for the second-straight season.

In the rematch, WSU outscored EWU 46-25 in the second half as the Wildcats overcame a 12-point EWU halftime lead and a 15-point deficit early in the second half. In 2013-14, the Eagles were 15-16 overall and missed the Big Sky Conference Tournament with a 10-10 league mark. Interestingly, Sacramento State was also 10-10, but secured the final bid because of a tiebreaker advantage over EWU, which dropped its final game of the season to Weber State 82-78.

Eagles in the Big Sky Tournament • Eastern has made 16 Big Sky Conference Tournament appearance in 31 years as a member of the league, and has a record of 15-14 in its 29 games. The Eagles are 1-0 in the first round, 5-5 in the quarterfinals, 7-4 in the semifinals and 2-5 in the championship. Before winning the 2015 title, Eastern hadn’t appeared since the 2011-12 and 2010-11 seasons, which were EWU’s first since 2006. The Eagles qualified for each tournament from 1998-2006.

• Eastern won Big Sky Conference Tournament championships and appeared in the NCAA Tournament in 2015 & 2004. The Eagles have also advanced to the National Invitation Tournament in 2003 and the College Basketball Invitational in 2016 and 2017. Eastern registered the school’s first NCAA Division I postseason win with a 79-72 victory over Pepperdine in the first round of the CBI in 2016.

• Eastern’s 2014-15 squad won the title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament with a trio of victories in Missoula, Montana. Included was a come-from-behind 69-65 over the host Grizzlies in the championship game.

• Before beating Montana for the 2015 title, Eastern had ended its season with losses to the Grizzlies in appearances in 2012, 2006 and 2005. But the year before, in 2004, EWU won the title with a 71-59 championship game victory over Northern Arizona to advance to the school’s first-ever NCAA Tournament (EWU made its first-ever NIT appearance in 2003).

• Although its streak of Big Sky tournament berths came to an end in the 2006-07 season, at the time Eastern was just the fifth school in league history to make nine-straight appearances in the Big Sky Conference Tournament. Eastern started the streak back in 1998 after making just one trip to the tourney in their first 10 seasons as a member of the conference.

Interestingly, Montana’s 77-69 victory over the Lumberjacks on Feb. 28, 2005, extended Eastern’s streak and ended NAU’s eight-season streak. Eastern’s streak started in 1998 with an end-of-year victory at Montana. That “winner advance, loser eliminated” game ended Montana’s 21-year streak.

• In 2011, Eastern’s season came to an end with a 79-70 loss at Weber State in the quarterfinal round of the tournament. That came just three days after the Eagles stunned WSU on their home court 75-59 to end the regular season. Because of the upset, the Wildcats lost

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2018-19 Eagles in National Postseason Tournaments In the 2017-18 season, Eastern made its sixth appearance in a national postseason tournament in school history and fourth-in-a-row. Eastern advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2004 and 2015, were in the NIT in 2003 and have played in the last three College Basketball Invitational (CBI) tournaments in 2016, 2017 and 2018. In the 2016 CBI, Eastern recorded its first win in a national postseason tournament as a member of Division I with a 79-72 home win over Pepperdine. The Eagles are now 1-5 in postseason national tournaments as a member of NCAA Division I, and 7-10 overall.

Eastern also played in the NAIA Championships (then known as NAIB) on five occasions, with a 6-5 record in appearances in 1942, 1943, 1945, 1946 and 1947. Before beating Pepperdine in 2016, Eastern’s previous national tournament victory came on March 12, 1947, when Eastern – then known as the Eastern Washington College of Education Savages – beat Dakota Wesleyan 62-48. One year earlier, Eastern lost to Pepperdine before meeting the Waves again for the second time in school history nearly 70 years to the day later in the CIT.

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2018-19 Alvin Snow Becomes Newest Legend Voted Into Hall of Fame Groundbreaking former Eagle men’s basketball player ALVIN SNOW became a member of the Eastern Athletics Hall of Fame in ceremonies which took place on Sept. 22, 2018, at EWU. He was Eastern’s first basketball All-American at the NCAA Division I level – and the school’s first Big Sky Conference MVP in the sport.

“Alvin was the first guy to buy into what we were doing here,” said former EWU head caoch RAY GIACOLETTI of the four seasons they spent together at EWU from 2000-2004. “He was a mainstay here, and was kind of the heart and soul of our team. His versatility and all the things he contributed is what separated him from other players and earned him the honors he received.”

Bringing an incredible competitive fire and drive with him from Franklin High School in Seattle, Wash., Snow helped Eastern win 69 games with a NIT appearance in 2003 followed by the school’s first Big Sky Conference Tournament title and NCAA Tournament berth in 2004. He had 1,396 points, 212 steals and 318 assists in 118 games as an Eagle and was one of just 17 players in league history (now 20) to win first team All-Big Sky honors three seasons. He was the league’s MVP in 2004 when he earned honorable mention All-America honors, and was also the Big Sky 2002 Defensive Player of the Year.

“My time at Eastern was amazing,” Snow said “On an individual, personal level, I had to learn to play the game a little differently than where I came from. So that prepared me for the professional level. And I’m grateful for that.”

He played professionally for more than 10 years, and he works in Seattle is a player representative for Worldwide Sports Management. His mission is to carry out the tradition of his hometown and home state, while finding unique ways to help kids and adults alike to push for greatness and elevate themselves and each other. He currently represents several former Big Sky players, including former Eagle Jacob Wiley, who played for the Brooklyn Nets of the NBA and the Long Island Nets of the NBA G League in 2017-18.

Snow credits his mother, Sherri Charleston, for being his inspiration throughout his life on and off the basketball court. Plus, he calls his 4-year-old son, Christian Snow, his motivation to “work daily towards becoming the greatest version of myself that I can.”
