EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2020-21 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 (the end of the 2019-20 season was canceled during the league tournament because of the Covid-19 virus).

• Big Sky regular season champions in 2020, 2015, 2004 and 2000 (outright in 2004 and 2020).

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

• SHANTAY LEGANS was Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year in the 2019-20 season after leading EWU to the outright regular season championship in the Big Sky Conference and a school-record 16 league wins. He 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.

• MASON PEATLING was Big Sky Conference MVP in the 2019-20 season, and also earned first team Academic All-America honors.

He closed his 118-game career (96 as a starter) with 1,250 points (12th in school history), 725 rebounds (sixth) and 112 blocked shots (second).

• The Eagles from 2014-15 through 2019-20 have recorded win totals of 26, 18, 22, 20, 16 and 23, including the top two win totals in EWU’s 37-year history in NCAA Division I . The combined 125 victories in six seasons, 102 in five, 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 -- 14, 10, 13, 13, 12, 16 -- in that six-year span. Eastern has had its first back-to-back-to-back national tournament postseason appearances at the Division I level with a stretch of four-straight from 2015-18, 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 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.

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2020-21 FOUR RECENT EAGLES HAVE LEFT A LASTING LEGACY FOR EWU BASKETBALL, WITH THREE BIG SKY CONFERENCE MVP HONORS IN FOUR YEARS . . .

Mason Peatling (2017-18-19-20) Bogdan Bliznyuk (2015-16-17-18) Jacob Wiley (2017) Jesse Hunt (2016-17-18-19) Peatling (2020), Bliznyuk (2018) and Wiley (2017) won league MVP awards, giving EWU a total of five in school history

Collectively those players accomplished . . .

• 3 – Big Sky MVP Awards • 7 – All-Big Sky Honors

(first team, second team or honorable mention)

• 3 – All-Big Sky Tournament Honors • 14 – Big Sky Player of the Week Accolades • 4 – Team Captain Honors • 4 – Team MVP Awards • 13 out of a possible 13 BSC All-Academic Awards

“When Mason Peatling came here as a freshman, it was tough for him with all the talent we had in the program. That year we had Jake Wiley as the leader of our team, and the next year it was Bogdan Bliznyuk. The next season we had Jesse Hunt, and all of them had great careers here. We are able to have that culture in our program, and guys understand how hard it is to earn their minutes. Just look at our track record of losing an MVP or a really good all-league player, but there are always players that step up. I’m really excited for this season and the players on this year’s team because it’s their turn.”

– EWU Head Coach Shantay Legans

• 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 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 2020-21 2019-20 REVIEW: Title and Stellar Year by Peatling Highlights Season With second-most wins in EWU’s NCAA Division I history and the most league victories in 33 years in the Big Sky, season ends abruptly because of COVID-19 virus

T

his was an ending to a roller-coaster ride that nobody saw coming.

One of the best seasons in Eastern Washington University men’s basketball history came to a screeching halt on March 12 when cancellations of both the Big Sky Conference and NCAA Division I tournaments dashed EWU’s promising postseason hopes in the 2019-20 campaign.

The COVID-19 virus wiped out the league tournament shortly before the Eagles were to play their first game versus Sacramento State. A few hours after that, the NCAA Tournament was canceled as well, ending EWU’s season.

The Eagles had their-second highest win total in 37 years as a NCAA Division I member with 23 victories, and their 16 league triumphs were the most in their 33 years in the Big Sky. The Eagles finished sixth in the nation in scoring offense (80.9 per game) and were fourth in assists (17.5).

“Sports puts you on a roller-coaster, but usually it’s from your own will,” said Eastern head coach Shantay Legans, whose team ended with a sevengame winning streak. “You have ups and downs from playing good or playing bad, and winning and losing games at the buzzer or by large margins. But this one was tough because it was out of our control.

That was the hardest part.”

EWU took solace in that it was able to celebrate heartily on March 7 after the Eagles beat Weber State 78-69 to wrap-up the outright title. The world changed dramatically shortly after that, and ended a historic run by senior Mason Peatling, who won the Big Sky MVP award after averaging a double-double in 20 league outings.

“We felt so bad for our players, and for Mason for all the work he’s put in since his freshman year,” said Legans. “He put himself in a position to play in the NCAA Tournament and get 26 wins or more.

He earned so much – he worked hard, set records and recovered from some injuries. Not being able to get that opportunity for he and his teammates was hard.”

“We’re the regular season champs and I’m glad to be a part of such a great team,” said Peatling the day Eastern wrapped-up the regular season title.

“It’s been a great four-year career at Eastern and I’ve been part of some great teams. To win a regular season title is really a great accomplishment for this group. I’m really proud of everybody.”

Peatling also was a first team Academic

All-America selection, and finished his career with 118 games played, 1,250 points, 725 rebounds, 112 blocked shots and a .555 field goal shooting percentage – all marks which rank in the top 12 in EWU history.

Peatling was a first team All-Big Sky selection, while junior Jacob Davison was picked for the second team and sophomore Kim Aiken Jr. was on the third squad. Eastern also had two of the top newcomers in the league in true freshman Ellis Magnuson and redshirt freshman Casson Rouse, and also received solid play by junior starter Jack Perry.

“We were good and confident – just like our big brother in Spokane,” said Legans, referring to NCAA powerhouse Gonzaga. “We had the MVP and three players on the all-league team, and I think we had the freshman of the year. We handled business and put ourselves in a position to play in the NCAA Tournament. We felt good every time we stepped on the court, and they worked hard to get there.

“We had a lot of players who were under-recruited, and they had fight and a chip on their shoulder to prove everybody wrong,” he continued. “At the end of the season we couldn’t imagine losing any games because we had the best team and we were on a winning streak. Our team was playing great basketball.”

Legans himself was the Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year after leading EWU to a final record of 23-8 overall and 16-4 in the league. Legans

is now 59-41 in his three years as head coach for a .590 winning percentage. In league games, he has directed EWU to 13, 12 and now 16 victories, winning 71 percent for a record of 41-17.

Both percentages are currently the best among the eight men who have been head coaches in EWU’s tenure in the league, and his 41 league wins is the best three-year stretch in school history.

“I’ll remember how well this team came together and had the second-best season since we’ve been Division I,” said Legans. “Seeing these players together all year was a joy, and we know what they could have done if the season had continued. I think they are probably already working on their own 30-for-30 documentary. They were great young men fighting for a common goal, and our seniors did a great job as leaders. We’ll remember this team for what it was, and it was great to be a part of this team.”

Peatling was on fire during the league season, closing with averages of 18.5 points on 56 percent shooting from the field, 10.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.7 blocked shots and 0.8 steals. He had 11 doubledoubles in his last 15 games. Peatling was honored three times during the year as Big Sky Conference Player of the Week, and Davison earned the honor twice.

“Those are big accomplishments,” said Legans of his squad. “Mason had a great year, but his teammates helped put him in that position by us winning the league title. The coach of the year award can

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2020-21 go straight to our staff because they do all the hard work. Right on down the line, everybody involved with our program did an amazing job.”

Eastern’s school-record 16 Big Sky wins included sweeps over seven of the league’s 10 other teams, and a split versus Idaho State and Idaho.

Eastern was swept by Montana, which had won the two previous regular season and tournament titles.

The Eagles had just two seniors – Peatling and Tyler Kidd – so EWU has high aspirations for 2020 and beyond.

“They’ve put our program in a position to win the outright championship for only the second time in Eastern history, and to get to the NCAA Tournament,” Legans added. “We’ll hold our hat on that and strive to be ready for next year and the future.”

Season Notes Epic Season Ends with a Fourth Regular Season Title and Second Outright Championship Eastern won its fourth Big Sky regular season title in school history (2000, 2004, 2015, 2020), but now joins the 2004 team with the only outright titles. Eastern has gone on to win two Big Sky Tournament titles (2004 and 2015) to advance to the NCAA Tournament. The Eagles also have national postseason appearances in the NIT (2003) and the College Basketball Invitational (2016, 2017, 2018).

At 23-8 and finishing with a season-high sevengame winning streak, Eastern achieved the school’s second-highest win total in 37 seasons as a member of Division I, with the only seasons better than 20 wins coming in 2014-15 (26) and 2016-17 (22). At 16-4 in the league, Eastern also recorded the most wins in 33 seasons in the Big Sky, breaking the previous record of 14 set in 2014-15.

The Eagles were 10-6 on the road and 13-2 at home in the 2019-20 season, including an 8-2 road mark in league games and 8-2 at home. Eastern won

their first road contest of the season at Seattle University 74-66 on Nov. 9. Eastern also picked up a 90-74 road win at High Point on Nov. 23, marking EWU’s first victory in the Eastern time zone since knocking off Indiana 88-86 in Bloomington, Ind., on Nov. 24, 2014.

Eastern won 13 of its last 15 games in the league, and was in and out of first place in the Big Sky Conference standings all season. But the Eagles were back on top after games played on Feb. 27, then took over sole possession of first place on March 5.

Montana was the two-time defending Big Sky Conference champion, and EWU missed out on NCAA Tournament berths by falling to the Grizzlies in both the 2018 (82-65) and 2019 (68-62) championship games of the league tournament. Both EWU and UM were the preseason picks to win the league title in the 2019-20 season – Eastern by the coaches and Montana by the media.

Eastern had its seventh-straight season with 10 Big Sky wins or more and a sixth-straight year with a winning league record. Eastern is 88-44 in Big Sky play in those seven years for a .667 winning percentage, and in the last six years have won at a 70 percent clip (78-34).

EWU Sets Numerous Big Sky and EWU Records in 2019-20, Mostly in Multnomah Win Eastern established several new school records during the 2019-20 season, including a quartet of bests in EWU’s 37-year history as a member of NCAA Division I. Eastern’s plus-8.1 scoring margin per game bettered the previous DI mark of 6.6 set in the 2015 season, and the team’s 544 assists were 30 more than EWU had in 2007. The Eagles had a defensive field goal percentage of .427, breaking the previous mark of .430 in 2013.

Eastern’s average of 38.3 rebounds per game edged the previous Division I record of 38.2 in 1998. In addition, sophomore Kim Aiken Jr. had a 9.7 rebound average that was the best since Ron Cox averaged 12.3 in the 1976-77 season when Eastern was affiliated with the NAIA. Aiken’s average broke the previous DI record of 9.1 in the 2016-17 campaign. Both Aiken and senior Mason Peatling had 22 rebounds in single games for the top performances in Eastern’s DI history and ranking No. 2 behind the overall record of 28.

There were a total of four Big Sky Conference and eight Eastern Washington all-time records broken in EWU’s 146-89 victory over Multnomah on Dec. 13, 2019. It could have been more too – by scoring 80 points in the first half, Eastern came just two from the

Both percentages are currently the best among the eight men who have been head coaches in EWU’s tenure in the league, and his 41 league wins is the best three-year stretch in school history.

An Eastern assistant for eight previous seasons, Legans has been a part of all but one of EWU’s five seasons of at least 20 wins and all four of EWU’s campaigns with at least 13 league victories. He’s coached in a total of 360 games in 10-plus years at EWU, with a 186-174 record in those games (.517), including a 115-89 league mark (.564).

Legans recorded the most wins by an Eastern rookie head coach at the NCAA Division I level with 20 in the 2018-19 season. After EWU’s 16-18 finish in 2018-19, he has been a part of Eastern teams from the 2014-15 through 2019-20 seasons which have win totals of 26, 18, 22, 20, 16 and 23 games.

The four 20-victory seasons are among the top five win totals in EWU’s 37year history in NCAA Division I. The combined 125 wins in six seasons, 102 wins in five, 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 -- 14, 10, 13, 13, 12, 16 -- in that six-year span.

Fourth Season (12th Overall at EWU) Fresno State ‘04

E

astern men’s basketball coach Shantay Legans continued a bit of EWU history when he was announced on March 10, 2020, as Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year from balloting by the league’s 11 head coaches. The 2020-21 season will be his fourth as head coach and 12th overall at EWU after guiding EWU to finishes of 23-8 overall and 16-4 in the Big Sky in the 2019-20 season.

He becomes the fourth Eastern coach to earn the honor, and follows in their footsteps as Big Sky Conference champions. Steve Aggers was coach of the year in both 1998 and 2000, the latter honor coming after EWU won the regular season title. Ray Giacoletti (2004) and Jim Hayford (2015) were honored after their teams each followed regular season championships with titles in the Big Sky Conference Tournament to advance to the NCAA Tournament.

“I’m so humbled to receive the Big Sky Coach of the Year Award, especially among the group of outstanding coaches in this conference,” said Legans.

“But make no mistake, this is a team award. Coaches are only as good as their players and staff, and I have an amazing group of guys who not only make my job easy, but a blast. Our players worked their butts off, and I have an amazing staff who also work tirelessly to get better every single day. They’ve all bought into the culture we’ve instilled since day one, and that’s the reason we are where we are today.”

Legans has now coached in 16 Big Sky Conference Tournament games, with a record of 10-6 in six appearances (6-2 in two appearances as head coach). 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.

One of the best seasons in school history came to a screeching halt on March 12, 2020, when cancellations of both the Big Sky Conference and NCAA Division I tournaments dashed EWU’s promising postseason hopes in the 2019-20 campaign.

The COVID-19 virus wiped out the league tournament shortly before the Eagles were to play their first game versus Sacramento State. A few hours after that, the NCAA Tournament was canceled as well, ending EWU’s season.

The Eagles had their-second highest win total in 37 years as a NCAA Division I member with 23 victories, and their 16 league triumphs were the most in their 33 years in the Big Sky. The Eagles finished sixth in the nation in scoring offense (80.9 per game) and were fourth in assists (17.5).

“Sports puts you on a roller-coaster, but usually it’s from your own will,” said Legans, whose team ended with a seven-game winning streak. “You have ups and downs from playing good or playing bad, and winning and losing games at the buzzer or by large margins.

But this one was tough because it was out of our control. That was the hardest part.”

EWU took solace in that it was able to celebrate heartily on March 7 after the Eagles beat Weber State 78-69 to wrap-up the outright title. The world changed dramatically shortly after that, and ended a historic run by senior Mason Peatling, who won the Big Sky MVP award after averaging a double-double in 20 league outings.

More recently, in the spring of 2020, Legans was selected to ESPN’s “40 Under 40” list of the top NCAA Division I basketball coaches under the age of 40. He was selected No. 11 -- eighth among head coaches -- in the list of coaches ranked by achievement and potential.

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2020-21 all the work he’s put in since his freshman year,” said Legans. “He put himself in a position to play in the NCAA Tournament and get 26 wins or more. He earned so much – he worked hard, set records and recovered from some injuries. Not being able to get that opportunity for he and his teammates was hard.”

Peatling also was a first team Academic All-America selection, and finished his career with 118 games played, 1,250 points, 725 rebounds, 112 blocked shots and a .555 field goal shooting percentage – all marks which rank in the top 12 in EWU history.

Peatling was a first team All-Big Sky selection, while junior Jacob Davison was picked for the second team and sophomore Kim Aiken Jr. was on the third squad. Peatling (first team) and Davision (second team) also earned AllRegion 6 honors from the NABC. “We were good and confident – just like our big brother in Spokane,” said Legans, referring to NCAA powerhouse Gonzaga. “We had the MVP and three players on the all-league team, and I think we had the freshman of the year. We handled business and put ourselves in a position to play in the NCAA Tournament. We felt good every time we stepped on the court, and they worked hard to get there.

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 first-year Eastern coach with more than 18 victories, which is also the only time it’s happened.

Among the victories in his first season 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 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 championship game in his debut season.

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. Legans was associate head coach under Hayford for the final three of those eight seasons.

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

“I’ll remember how well this team came together and had the second-best season since we’ve been Division I,” said Legans.

“Seeing these players together all year was a joy, and we know what they could have done if the season had continued. I think they are probably already working on their own 30-for-30 documentary. They were great young men fighting for a common goal, and our seniors did a great job as leaders. We’ll remember this team for what it was, and it was great to be a part of this team.”

Peatling was on fire during the league season, closing with averages of 18.5 points on 56 percent shooting from the field, 10.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.7 blocked shots and 0.8 steals. He had 11 double-doubles in his last 15 games.

Peatling was honored three times during the year as Big Sky Conference Player of the Week, and Davison earned the honor twice.

season.

Eastern’s school-record 16 Big Sky wins included sweeps over seven of the league’s 10 other teams, and a split versus Idaho State and Idaho. Eastern was swept by Montana, which had won the two previous regular season and tournament titles. The Eagles had just two seniors – Peatling and Tyler Kidd – so EWU has high aspirations for 2020 and beyond.

“They put our program in a position to win the outright championship for only the second time in Eastern history, and to get to the NCAA Tournament,” Legans added. “We’ll hold our hat on that and strive to be ready for next year and the future.”

In the 2018-19 season, Eastern defeated all 10 Big Sky Conference foes en route to finishing 12-8 in league play and finishing in sole possession of third.

Decimated by injuries, Eastern was 1-9 at one point before winning 13 of their last 19 games to finish 16-18. Eastern lost in the championship game of the Big Sky Conference Tournament for the second-straight season.

His 20 wins as a rookie are the most by a first-year Eastern coach in EWU’s

While at EWU, the Eagles have had their first back-to-back-to-back national tournament postseason appearances at the Division I level and extended it to fourstraight in the 2017-18 season. Included was Eastern’s first-ever postseason national tournament 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

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.

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 2020-21 and 5.6 assists while averaging more than 38 minutes per game in his final collegiate season. He was team captain at Fresno State and received his bachelor’s degree in African American studies in 2004.

Formerly from Goleta, Calif., and Dos Pueblos High School, Legans averaged 4.4 assists, 10.4 points and 1.4 steals per game during his 124-game collegiate career, making 83.9 percent of his free throws, 40.2 percent of his field goals and 36.6 percent of his three-point shots.

While at Dos Pueblos High School, he was named league MVP and Player of the Year for Santa Barbara County. He also earned All-California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) honors, and was rated as the seventh-best point guard in the country by Recruiting USA and the No. 19 point guard by PrepStar. His high school team advanced to the CIF Playoffs each of his four seasons on the squad.

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

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.

Davison earned third team All-Big Sky honors in the 2018-19 season despite missing the last 10 games with an ankle injury. Forward Jesse Hunt earned first team honors in 2018-19 and forward Mason Peatling was a second team choice.

In 2019-20, Peatling was the Big Sky’s MVP and a first team All-Big Sky selection, Davison earned a spot on the second team and sophomore Kim Aiken Jr. was on the third team. Peatling and Davison both earned NABC All-District 6 accolades, and Peatling was a first team Academic All-American as well.

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 basketball in Europe. Legans also has experience coaching various AAU teams in California.

He played at California for three seasons from 1999-2002, helping lead the Golden Bears to a collective record of 61-35 (.635). He then spent his senior season (2003-04) at Fresno State, which finished with a 14-15 record overall and a 10-8 mark in the Western Athletic Conference. He averaged 15.0 points

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.

Legans was born July 30, 1981, in Ventura, Calif. He was married on May 10, 2014, 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.

DAVID RILEY

Forward Jesse Hunt earned first team All-Big Sky honors for the Eagles, Peatling was on the second team and Davison earned third team honors.

Aiken earned All-Big Sky Tournament honors along with Peatling.

10th Season • Whitworth ‘11

In 2017-18, Eastern featured Big Sky MVP Bogdan Bliznyuk and the Eagles finished 20-15 overall and 13-5 in the Big Sky. Among the victories was a 67-61 triumph at Stanford to break EWU’s 21-game losing streak versus Pacific-12 Conference foes.

The 2020-21 school year will be David Riley’s seventh season on the coaching staff 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, and ‘20-21 will be his 10th overall at Eastern.

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 has played a key role as part of Eastern teams from the Eastern teams from the 2014-15 through 2019-20 seasons which have win totals of 26, 18, 22, 20, 16 and 23 games. The four 20-victory seasons are among the top five win totals in EWU’s 37-year history in NCAA Division I. The combined 125 wins in six seasons, 102 wins in five, 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 198384 season. The same can be said of EWU’s stretch of league victories -- 14, 10, 13, 13, 12, 16 -- in that six-year span.

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 seasons, including the first two as a graduate assistant. He received his master of science degree in physical education from EWU in 2013.

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.

In three seasons under Legans at Eastern, Riley has helped Eastern win 59 games overall, 41 in Big Sky Conference play and the outright league championship in 201920. Prior to that, EWU had appearances the previous two seasons in the Big Sky Tournament championship game.

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-of-696).

One of the best seasons in school history came to a screeching halt on March 12, 2020, when cancellations of both the Big Sky Conference and NCAA Division I tournaments dashed EWU’s promising postseason hopes in the 2019-20 campaign.

The Eagles finished 23-8 overall and 16-4 in the Big Sky. In 2019-20, Mason Peatling was the Big Sky’s MVP and a first team All-Big Sky selection, Jacob Davison earned a spot on the second team and sophomore Kim Aiken Jr. was on the third team.

Peatling and Davison both earned NABC All-District 6 accolades, and Peatling was a first team Academic All-American as well.

In 2018-19, Eastern defeated all 10 Big Sky Conference foes en route to finishing 12-8 in league play and going 16-18 overall. Decimated by injuries, Eastern was 1-9 at one point in the 2018-19 season before winning 13 of its last

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.

Assistant Coach

BOBBY SUAREZ Fourth Season • Florida Gulf Coast ‘12 Bobby Suarez will enter his fourth year on the staff of head coach Shantay Legans as an assistant coach in the 2020-21 season, having spent four previous seasons at Florida State.

Helping EWU win 59 games in his first three years in the program, Suarez assists with player development with emphasis on guards. His other responsibilities are for recruiting, in-season scouting of opponents, oncourt coaching and summer camps coordination.

“Bobby has been a great addition to our staff,” said Legans of the 2012 graduate of Florida Gulf Coast. “He is energetic, well-connected, and hit the ground running. What impresses me the most about Bobby is his attentiveness and desire to work hard and win. He has been around winning basketball programs all of his career, and also has acquired international experience.”

In three seasons at Eastern, Suarez has helped Eastern win 59 games overall, 41 in Big Sky Conference play and the outright league championship in 2019-20. Prior to that, EWU had appearances the previous two seasons in the Big Sky Tournament championship game.

He was a member of the now famous “Dunk City” team that advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. During that magical 2013 season, Florida Gulf Coast won the Atlantic Sun Tournament championship to earn the league’s automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. The Eagles defeated No. 2 seeded Georgetown and No. 7 seeded San Diego State, becoming the first No. 15 seed to advance to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16.

Suarez worked with four all-conference players during his time at Florida Gulf Coast: Brett Comer (who finished his career ranked 24th on the all-time NCAA career assists list), Bernard Thompson (the 2013 Atlantic Sun Defensive Player of the Year), Chase Fieler (the all-time program leader for rebounds, blocked shots and field goals made) and Sherwood Brown (2013 All-America Honorable Mention selection and the 2013 Atlantic Sun Player of the Year).

In 2014, Suarez worked for Orlando Antigua (former head coach at South Florida) and assisted with day to day operations of the Dominican Republic National team. In 2017, Suarez worked with the Team USA Junior National team with day-to-day operations and on court development.

Suarez earned his bachelor’s degree in business management from Florida Gulf Coast University in 2012.

One of the best seasons in school history came to a screeching halt on March 12, 2020, when cancellations of both the Big Sky Conference and NCAA Division I tournaments dashed EWU’s promising postseason hopes in the 2018/2017/2016 CBI TOURNAMENT • 2015/2004 NCAA TOURNAMENT • 2003 NIT • 2020/2015/2004/2000 BIG SKY CHAMPIONS

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2020-21 SEASON OUTLOOK: Eagles Ready to Defend League Title

Big Sky Conference champs hope MVP candidates and loads of experience can lead them to a NCAA Tournament berth, which was made more elusive in 2020 by Covid-19

Besides Davison and Aiken, the Eagles return two other starters in senior guard Jack Perry and sophomore point guard Ellis Magnuson.

Eastern returns 10 total letterwinners and lost four, including 2019-20 league MVP and Academic All-American Mason Peatling, who will be replaced by junior post Tanner Groves.

The Eagles have the individual talent lined up to potentially garner the next two Big Sky Conference MVP awards. They also hope that translates to league titles.

“We have only two seniors this year, but they have been in the program for a while and they are excited about playing again,” said Legans, who was last year’s Big Sky Coach of the Year. “A lot of teams feel good about their chances of winning the league, but for us there is lot of unsettled and unfinished business left for this team to accomplish. At least that’s how we’ve been going about it since last March when our season was cut short.”

On the heels of one of the best seasons in Eastern Washington University men’s basketball history, the 2020-21 squad is ready to complete the task that was wiped out last year by a world-wide pandemic. With senior Jacob Davison and junior Kim Aiken Jr., leading the way, EWU hopes to add a Big Sky Tournament championship and NCAA Tournament berth to the regular season title the Eagles won in the 2019-20 campaign.

And the league’s coaches and media agree. The Eagles were the overwhelming favorite to defend the Big Sky Conference title they won a year ago, garnering nine of 11 first-place votes cast by the coaches and 24 of 28 by the media in the preseason polls announced by the league office.

Davison and Perry are the lone seniors.

Last season came to a screeching halt on March 12, 2020, when cancellations of both the Big Sky Conference and NCAA Division I tournaments dashed EWU’s promising postseason hopes in the 201920 campaign. The Covid-19 virus wiped out the league tournament shortly before the Eagles were to play their first game versus Sacramento State. A few hours after that, the NCAA Tournament was canceled as well, ending EWU’s season.

The Eagles had “Our team is being their-second highest picked as the favorite win total in 37 years to win the Big Sky as a NCAA Division this year, which is a I member with 23 testament to all we victories, and their 16 accomplished last league triumphs were year and the culture of the most in their 33 success we’ve been years in the Big Sky. able to build here at The Eagles finished Senior All-Big Sky Conference Guard JACOB DAVISON EWU,” said fourth-year sixth in the nation in Eastern head coach scoring offense (80.9 Shantay Legans. “That said, we haven’t accomplished a single thing this per game) and were fourth in assists (17.5). year, and that is our approach to the season. After winning the Big Sky last EWU took solace in that it was able to celebrate heartily on March 7 year but having to stop short of our quest towards the NCAA Tournament, after the Eagles beat Weber State 78-69 to wrap-up the outright title. The our team is hungrier than ever. There is a lot of work to be done.” world changed dramatically shortly after that, and ended a historic run In addition, Davison was selected as the MVP as he joined junior Kim

“We have some guys with some big feet, so it’s going to fun to see “I love seeing our players receive accolades because I see all the who steps up to fill those shoes,” said Legans. “Jacob Davison is a great hard work they put in behind the scenes to get there,” added Legans. player, so I’m looking forward to see what he can do this year. We have “Both on and off the court, our guys work harder than any group I’ve ever been in situations where we have really good players and they have been around, and I am so proud of all they have achieved, and eager for graduated, but we have always had guys step up. That’s one of the things all that is to come.” that everybody loves about college sports.”

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2020-21 Peatling was a first team All-Big Sky selection, while Davison was picked for the second team and sophomore Aiken was on the third squad. Peatling and Davison went on to earn AllDistrict 6 honors by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). Both 500-point scorers during Eastern’s run to the outright title, Peatling was honored on the first team and Davison was on the second squad.

league. Legans is now 59-41 in his three years as head coach for a .590 winning percentage. In league games, he has directed EWU to 13, 12 and now 16 victories, winning 71 percent for a record of 41-17.

Junior All-Big Sky Conference Guard/Forward KIM AIKEN JR.

“We have four returning starters coming back from a year ago on a pretty good team,” said Legans. “But we lost Mason Peatling -- obviously the MVP of the league. But Tanner Groves is stepping into the role and is a very good young post player. He’s offensively sound and can make shots from all over the court.”

The “Big Three” of Peatling, Davison and Aiken combined for 61 percent of EWU’s scoring, 60 percent of its rebounding and 80 percent of its blocked shots. In addition, they combined for 65 percent of the team’s free throws made, 55 percent of its steals, 50 percent of its 3-pointers made, 61 percent of its field goals overall and 47 percent of the total minutes for the Eagles.

“I’m always confident in our players and their ability to go out there and compete -- especially with having a lot of returners,” said Legans. “We have Jacob Davison back, but we also have four others who have started for us, including three who started every Big Sky game. We have a strong bench too, and our young players have gotten better.”

Eastern had two of the top newcomers in the league in Magnuson and redshirt freshman Casson Rouse, and also received solid play by Perry once he returned from an early-season high ankle sprain. And the Groves brothers – Tanner and his younger brother Jacob Groves – add the family to the family.

“We’ve been able to see how they’ve gelled so quickly, and obviously, the comradery and chemistry of the team knowing each other so well is great.” He continued. “Now we just have to start defining roles, and being able to get that established will help us a lot. I think they pretty much understand each other’s games and that is important. And it’s our job as coaches to just make sure that we are pushing them in the right direction and they are getting everything done in the right manner and the right sense. I do think we have a pretty good ball club.”

Both percentages are currently the best among the eight men who have been head coaches in EWU’s tenure in the league, and his 41 league wins is the best three-year stretch in school history.

Eastern’s school-record 16 Big Sky wins included sweeps over seven of the league’s 10 other teams, and a split versus Idaho State and Idaho.

Eastern was swept by Montana, which had won the two previous regular season and tournament titles. The Eagles had just two seniors – Peatling and Tyler Kidd – so EWU has high aspirations for 2020 and beyond.

Eastern won its fourth Big Sky regular season title in school history (2000, 2004, 2015, 2020), but now joins the 2004 team with the only outright titles. Eastern has gone on to win two Big Sky Tournament titles (2004 and 2015) to advance to the NCAA Tournament. The Eagles also have national postseason appearances in the NIT (2003) and the College Basketball Invitational (2016, 2017, 2018).

“It was a hard conversation we had, but we have some very fine young men and so they understood they there were other things going on outside of basketball,” Legans said of the season cut short by the pandemic. “The virus was affecting the health of people and that could eventually affect our team or their families. It felt like we missed out on something, but it also gives us the hunger for this year. We want to come out and try to fulfill the opportunities kept from the seniors on last year’s team. We didn’t get to play in the NCAA Tournament, so I know that’s another added incentive for our team to fulfill that for them.”

“I told them that if we win we all get watches -- even the seniors from last year and the guys who were part of that team,” he added. “I still have my watches from when I played and those are something special. I think every player in their career should have the opportunity to play in the NCAA Tournament. It’s something huge, and being able to coach in it is one of my goals as a head coach. We almost got there last year -- who knows if we were to win the Big Sky Tournament and who knows what would have happened after that. But you can always think and dream, which is the best part of basketball.”

Legans led EWU to a final record of 23-8 overall and 16-4 in the 2018/2017/2016 CBI TOURNAMENT • 2015/2004 NCAA TOURNAMENT • 2003 NIT • 2020/2015/2004/2000 BIG SKY CHAMPIONS

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2020-21 Back Court . . .

with at least 20 points (14 in the 2019-20 season).

Davison is the catalyst in Eastern’s offensive attack, using his varied talents to make life difficult on opponents. His supporting cast benefits as a result.

After hitting the 100-point mark on March 5 versus Idaho State for the first time since December and the first time versus a NCAA Division I opponent in the 2019-20 season, the Eagles finished sixth in NCAA Division I in scoring. Eastern closed with a league-leading average of 80.9 points per game, with Gonzaga ranking first in the nation at 87.4.

The Eagles also ranked fourth in assists (17.5 per game) and 15th in assistto-turnover ratio (+1.36 per game) to lead the league, and were 26th in 3-point field goals per game (9.3) and 41st in scoring margin (+8.0) to rank second in the Big Sky. Eastern was also 57th in field goal percentage (.460) to rank third.

“One of the good things about our team is that we are young, but they all understand that there are levels you achieve as you keep getting better and getting older,” Legans said. “Jacob has been here since he was a freshman, and we are relying on him differently than when he was a freshman or sophomore. Now we are relying on him for more leadership to go along with his talents on the basketball floor.”

Perry adds senior leadership in the back court after averaging 6.2 points and 2.5 assists as a junior. In league-only statistics last season, Perry was 14th in assists (2.7) and 11th in 3-pointers made per game (1.7). He has also provided some clutch moments through the years for EWU, including the 100th 3-pointer of his career to give EWU the lead for good in a 78-75 victory at Idaho on Jan. 16, 2020.

Perry is currently just off EWU’s alltime career 3-point percentage list at 39.6 percent (125-of-316). He’s played 93 total games as an Eagle (61 as a starter) and has averaged 5.7 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

“That makes this team exciting for me to coach. There are so many different things we can do and it’s going to be one of those years where we have multiple guys lead us in scoring,” Legans said.

“Jacob might lead our team in assists one game because how teams will defend him. So it’s going to be an exciting year to see how we can gel together and understand what we are trying to do. At the end of the day everyone wants to win, so I think the sacrifice will be there and the determination needed will be there too.”

Magnuson started all 31 games as a freshman, and finished 118th in the nation in assists (4.2 to rank fifth in the Big Sky) and was 112th in assist-to-turnover ratio (+1.84 per game to rank fifth in the league). In Big Sky-only statistics, he was eighth in assists (3.4), and was the only freshman ranked in that category in the top 15. He was also the only freshman in the top 11 in assist-to-turnover ratio, ranking seventh (+1.5).

Davison was 70th nationally and fourth in the Big Sky in scoring (18.4), to go along with averages of 4.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game. In league-only statistics, Davison was fourth in the league in scoring (18.7), as well as ranking 11th in field goal percentage (.439), 10th in free throw percentage (.752), 12th in steals (1.2) and 14th in assists (2.7).

Earlier in the year, College Sports Madness selected him as its Big Sky Conference Player of the Week for his performance in EWU’s win over midSenior Guard JACK PERRY major powerhouse Belmont on Nov. 26 in Cheney. He scored 13 points and had nine assists in the 87-82 win over the Bruins, who were ranked ninth entering the game in the Collegeinsider.com Mid-Major top 25 poll.

“A lot of times teams have to pick their poison with us,” said Legans.

That was just the sixth game as a collegian for Magnuson.

“Jacob is such a talented scorer and does so many things on offense which makes him hard to guard. He can drive, he can hit the mid-range “He’s a good student and is doing everything we ask of him, and jump shot and he shoots the three well. We watch the way teams defend even more than that,” said Legans. “You stick by players like that. As a him in games and then we adjust.” freshman we knew he would go through peaks and valleys and ups and downs. But we made sure we were confident in him – he’s our starting Davison is Eastern’s newest member of the 1,000-point club, going point guard and he’s our guy. He’s a great player and he’s going to do over that mark with a 21-point effort versus Idaho on Feb. 13. He followed great things for us.” that with 30 points in a win at Portland State on Feb. 15 to give him four performances in his career with at least 30 (three in the 2019-20 season).

For the year, Magnuson sank 35.2 percent of his shots from the field, including 20-of-72 3-pointers (27.8 percent). He also made 82.1 percent In his now 87-game career (57 as a starter), he’s averaged 13.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals while sinking 45.7 percent of his free throws (32-of-39). of his shots from the field, 34.6 percent from the 3-point stripe (106-of“We have confidence in Ellis to make shots, and he comes into the 306) and 76.8 percent of his free throws.

at High Point. In a 68-64 victory at Northern Colorado in a battle for first place in the league standings, Robertson came off the bench to provide some of the defense on UNC’s Jonah Radebaugh, who needed 24 shots to score 21 points.

Magnuson was one of five players who saw significant action as freshmen in the 2019-20 season. The others included Rouse, Mike Meadows and swingmen Jacob Groves and Tyler Robertson. That fivesome all averaged at least 6.5 minutes per game and all played in at least 19 games.

In addition to those players who saw action during the Big Sky championship year, Eastern also returns sophomore Austin Fadal, who redshirted the 2019-20 season. He averaged 13.2 minutes in 21 games as a freshman in 2018-19, starting twice.

He averaged 3.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game while scoring in double figures three times.

“Ellis and some other players have bright futures for us,” said Legans.

“They came out and played hard all season as freshmen.”

“We have players we can call on all the time,” said Legans. “But that makes it hard because you have only 200 minutes in a game. We have a lot of players coming along and are ready for their moment. It’s fun to watch them play and how they are developing and getting better. You can’t ask

“We have a lot of different weapons which were not obviously used as Junior Forward TANNER GROVES much last year, and we’re a year older and can get better,” he added. “The players who were sitting out or didn’t get a lot of minutes last year are for anything more.

(Churchill HS). ous career best by seven points when he scored 21 points in a 100-75 victory over Idaho State on March 5 to help EWU wrap-up at least a share of the Big Sky title.

“Casson Rouse was a redshirt freshman last year, and he has gained improvement in leaps and bounds,” said Legans. “All of the players who were here before have gotten much better, and we’ll see what they can do after working on their games. They left last year really unsatisfied with how the season ended. They have worked a lot. You know they could have went home and played a lot of video games, hung out, and things like that, but they worked and did a lot. You can see it in their bodies -- they have been in the weight room working hard. Their shooting has been really good.”

Meadows played in 19 games and averaged 1.8 points, 0.8 assists and 0.5 steals per game. He had highs of 11 points, two assists and two steals versus Portland Bible (11/5/19) when he made all three of his 3-point shots.

Groves, whose brother Tanner will be a junior this season for the Eagles in the front court, averaged 2.5 points and 1.5 rebounds in the 24 games he played. His first two appearances came in victories against High Point and Belmont, and he had his high game with eight points versus Multnomah.

Robertson played in 26 Eastern games, averaging 8.1 minutes, 2.2 points and 1.4 rebounds per game. He scored a season-high eight points at Boston College and one game later had his high for rebounds with three

“We are bringing in four new freshmen who are new to our program, but we also have a redshirt freshman in Steele Venters who is a pretty good player and was here all last year,” said Legans. “We’ve been lucky enough to have all our guys return -- we didn’t have anyone transfer out and we didn’t have anyone transfer in. I think that comradery and team chemistry is huge for our team, and that is something that has been big for us in the past. Being able to build on that and have our culture already set in place by the time these guys started practicing is a big deal for us.”

Front Court . . .

While Peatling averaged a double-double during league play, Aiken averaged nearly a double-double for the season. He finished fourth in NCAA Division I in defensive rebounds per game (8.2) and 36th in rebounding overall (9.7). He led the Big Sky in both categories, and was also 38th in the nation with 12 double-doubles and averaged 13.3 points per outing.

Aiken’s overall rebound average was Eastern’s best since Ron Cox averaged 12.3 in the 1976-77 season when the school was affiliated with the NAIA. Aiken’s average broke the school’s previous DI record of 9.1 in the 2016-17 campaign. Both Aiken and Peatling had 22 rebounds in single games for the top performances in Eastern’s DI history and ranking No. 2 behind the overall record of 28.

In league games only, Aiken finished second in rebounding (9.0), first in defensive rebounds (7.5), third in 3-pointers made per game (2.3), fifth in steals (1.7), 12th in blocked shots (1.1) and 21st in scoring (12.1).

shooting percentage – all marks which rank in the top 12 in EWU history.

At times his shooting was inconsistent, but he still managed to sink a team-leading 76 3-pointers on 229 attempts for 33.2 percent.

Overall, he shot at a 39.8 percent clip from the field and 78.7 percent from the free throw line (59-of-75).

Peatling was on fire during the league season as a senior, closing with averages of 18.5 points on 56 percent shooting from the field, 10.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.7 blocked shots and 0.8 steals. He had 11 double-doubles in his last 15 games. Peatling was honored three times during the year as Big Sky Conference Player of the Week, and Davison earned the honor twice.

“We are losing a great post player, but I think Tanner Groves is going to do great in his place,” said Legans. “We have a young freshman who is also going to be really good, and we also have pieces that can play that position. Plus, we can play a lot of different ways.”

He had a career-best 26-point effort at Washington on Dec. 4 and had five total performances of 20+ points (seven in his career). He had 14 double-figure rebounding “When Mason came here as a freshman, performances (18 in his career), and thus far it was tough for him with all the talent we had in his 61-game career (42 as a starter), he in the program,” said Legans of EWU’s legacy is averaging 10.0 points and 7.3 rebounds of developing players. “That year we had Jake with 16 career double-doubles (12-4 record).

“Kim Aiken has unbelievable character,” said Legans. “He’s one of the only guys who can have an off-shooting night, but doesn’t let that bother him and continues to do all of the dirty work. He’s had some monster scoring and rebounding games already in his career, and we always task him to guard the other team’s best player.”

Also becoming a force inside the paint as a sophomore for the Eagles was 6-9 Tanner Groves, who came off the bench to average 5.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.6 blocks. He scored a career-high 17 points versus Multnomah on Dec. 13, including a rebound dunk that was the No. 1 play

by ESPN’s Sportscenter that night and had 2 1/2 million views.

Groves also came off the bench to score 16 versus Montana State on Feb. 8, hitting 4-of-5 3-pointers. Thus far in his 59-game career (three as a starter) he’s averaged 4.1 points, 2.6 boards and has 36 blocks.

“We want him to play tough, go to the rim and dunk the ball,” said Legans. “He makes us better when he plays that way. Tanner is going to be one of the best big men in this conference – he’s unbelievable inside, outside, shooting touch, defense and athleticism. He’s going to be a player the bigger schools are going to say ‘how does Eastern have a player like that.’ He has a chance to be one of the best players to come out of this league – he has that type of game.”

Walk-on Jordan Veening is also back after seeing action in three games as a freshman.

A newcomer in the front court is Victor Radocaj, a 6-9 freshman from Richmond, B.C. The Canadian has international experience and competed for the RISE Centre Academy in Brantford, Ont.

Just look at our track record of losing an MVP or a really good all-league player, but there are always players that step up. I’m really excited for this season and the players on this year’s team because it’s their turn.”

“It’s my job to figure out how to put them in the right position to be those players. That’s one of the best things about being a coach -- you get to figure out and tinker with certain things.”

Regardless, Legans hopes the versatility of his players will make them a force to be reckoned with once again in the 2020-21 season.

“We’re really a tough team to guard because we have multiple players who can do a lot of different things,” he said. “We’ve changed a little bit with how we play, and we have guys who can put the ball on the floor, hit shots and defend different positions. When we do a good job with that, it puts us in a good position.

“We have to play defense to play offense, and that’s one thing we talk about every day,” he added. “If you don’t defend you don’t get to play offense. Offense is the fun part of the game and we want them to be tough and defend. If you know that your coach is going to let you play and be creative on offense, then you’ll play defense the way it’s supposed to be played. That something the players did last season.”

Schedule . . .

As the Covid-19 pandemic rages on, road trips will be few and far between for Eastern, as the preliminary 2020-21 Big Sky Conference men’s basketball schedule was released in October. In addition, Eastern is scheduled to play on the road at two Pac-12 Conference foes, as well as one nationally-renown program from the West Coast Conference and a member of the Mountain West Conference.

The Eagles will also host a non-NCAA Division I foe.

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2020-21 “I would like to think having a large group of returning players will help us during the limitations created by the pandemic,” said Legans. “I hope that’s a big factor, but at the same time there are some really good coaches in our league. There are some really good transfers who came into our league from different leagues, so like I said, having returning players who know each other is going to be a huge advantage.”

League teams will typically play two games at a venue, with EWU’s schedule starting with games on Dec. 18 and Dec. 19 (originally Nov. 3 and 5) versus Northern Arizona at Flagstaff, Ariz. Eastern will have 10 home games, starting New Year’s Eve (Dec. 31) versus Portland State, followed by another home game versus the Vikings on Jan. 2.

“I am glad we are getting 20 games -- that’s the best thing about our schedule,” said Legans. “The safety and health of all of our student-athletes is the most important part. We also want to make sure they have a full season so they don’t feel slighted this year by any means. It’s going to be different, but sometimes you have to change for certain reasons. I think we all understand why we have to do it this way. We are not the only conference scheduling this way, so it will be a little different for everybody.”

“There are going to be some flare ups, so I’m hoping those don’t carry over from Thursday to Saturday -- coaches included.

Playing the same opponent back-to-back is going to be like a quick little NBA mini playoff series. You have to see if you can adjust and do different things on that Saturday. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

The Eagles began practices on Wednesday (Oct. 14) for the 2020-21 season, and the earliest date the National Collegiate Athletic Association is allowing NCAA Division I games to be played is Nov. 25.

“We had our first 5-on-5 session at practice in October since March 11th when we were told at the Big Sky Tournament that we weren’t playing anymore,” Legans commented. “They were excited to play, excited to get up and down and excited to compete against one another. We just got right back to business. We are hoping that we keep everybody healthy and keep everyone moving forward. I really like the team we have this year.”

“It’s been good to see what they look like in person, instead of having them tell you,” he added. “They could tell you they are as good as Lebron James and you have to believe them because you can’t see them for yourself. But now being able to see them come out here and compete has been a lot of fun and I love it.”

ously we would just drive up from Phoenix the day of the game and drive right back. Now we are going to have to adjust to a new type of road schedule, and that’s going provide some interesting travels as we move ahead.”

All 11 league teams will advance to the Big Sky Conference Basketball Championships, to be held for the third consecutive year at recently re-named Idaho Central Arena (formerly CenturyLink Arena) in Boise, Idaho. The neutral-site tournament will run from March 10-13, 2021, and begins two days earlier for the women.

Eastern announced on Nov. 17 the non-conference portion of its 2020-21 schedule, and was scheduled for a busy Thanksgiving weekend of basketball to open season.

Eastern was scheduled to play Oregon on Wednesday, Nov. 25 in Eugene, Ore., but that game was postpoined. Eastern did play at Washington State of the Pac-12 the following Saturday (Nov. 28), and fell 71-68.

The Eagles were then scheduled to host a non-NCAA Division I opponent on Monday, Nov. 30, and it was initially Northwest University and then changed to Montana Tech.

However, as the Covid-19 pandemic rages on, that game was subeuently canceled.

The Eagles also have two non-conference games -- road contests at UNLV on Wednesday, Dec. 9 and at Saint Mary’s on Monday, Dec. 16.

The Eagles are scheduled to play Pac-12 Conference foes Oregon (Nov. 25) and Washington State (Nov. 28). Eastern is 3-46 versus current members of the Pac-12 since EWU moved to NCAA Division I in the 1983-84 season (13-89 all-time). Eastern is 0-3 versus the Ducks all-time and versus the Cougars EWU is 1-14 as a member of NCAA Division (11-55 all-time).

Eastern hasn’t played WSU since Nov. 10, 2012, when EWU fell 88-69 in Pullman, Wash. The last victory for EWU versus WSU was on Dec. 22, 1997, at the Tri-Cities Coliseum in Kennewick, Wash., when the Eagles prevailed 83-82. The Cougars finished the 2019-20 season 16-16 and were 6-12 in the Pac-12. They beat Colorado 82-68 in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament before the season was canceled the next day.

A year ago, Oregon finished 24-7 overall and was 13-5 in the Pac-12 to win the regular season league title. The Ducks won all 17 home games at Matthew Knight Arena.

Eastern is 2-6 all-time versus the Gaels, who were 26-8 overall and 11-5 in the WCC. The Gaels beat Pepperdine (89-82 in two overtimes) and BYU (51-50) in the WCC Tournament, but fell to Gonzaga (84-66) in the title game. Since moving to NCAA Division I, Eastern is 23-65 all-time versus current members of the WCC (70-115 all-time).

*Unanimous Selection

Eastern will also play Big Sky home games versus Southern Utah (Jan. 14 & 16), Sacramento State (Jan. 28 & 30), Idaho (Feb. 6), Montana (Feb. 18) and Idaho State (March 4 & 6).

The Eagles will also travel to Ogden, Utah, to play at Weber State (Jan. 7 & 9), Greeley, Colo., to play Northern Colorado (Jan. 21 & 23), Moscow, Idaho, to take on Idaho (Feb. 4), Bozeman, Mont., to play Montana (Feb. 11 & 13) and Missoula, Mont., to face Montana (Feb. 20).

“Different states allow different things and some guys have been playing with each other, so they are getting a little bit of the chemistry going -- especially the schools with a lot of transfers,” Legans said. “I’m hoping our chemistry turns out to be something good for us. At the same time you just never know. Injuries could happen, but I like to think being able to have these guys around each other for so long and that they know each other so well will give us an advantage.”

Also on the schedule is a trip to Las Vegas, Nev., to play UNLV of the Mountain West Conference in the third meeting between the two schools. Eastern has lost both meetings versus the Runnin’ Rebels, and is 12-58 against current members of the MWC with EWU as a member of NCAA Division I (15-73 all-time).

UNLV was 17-15 a year ago, and was 12-6 in the league before falling to Boise State 67-61 in the quarterfinals of the Mountain West Tournament.

Until further notice, no fans will be permitted to attend EWU’s home basketball games due to institutional, regional, and state guidelines.

“We have NAU first, then we will go from there -- but you have to win both games,” said Legans, whose team had seven league sweeps a year ago. “You don’t want splits anymore. The NAU trip is going to be interesting because previ2018/2017/2016 CBI TOURNAMENT • 2015/2004 NCAA TOURNAMENT • 2003 NIT • 2020/2015/2004/2000 BIG SKY CHAMPIONS

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2020-21 – including the seventh-most in school history with 41 versus Northern Arizona (2/4/19) – to earn Big Sky Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Week on Feb. 5 by the league office. Davison became just the ninth player in Eastern’s basketball history to score at least 40 points in a single game.

He followed that with a team-high 24 points versus Montana State (2/7/19) and 23 against Montana (2/9/19), and scored at least 20 in six of the last eight games he played. However, an ankle injury against Northern Colorado (2/16/19) sidelined for the remainder of the season. He averaged 23.8 points in his last eight outings, with EWU winning five of those games. He made 52.2 percent of his shots in those games, making 19-of-44 3-point attempts (43.2 percent) and 29-of-37 free throws (78.4 percent), and also averaged 4.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 steals. Davison averaged 15.2 points on the season and a team-leading 18.5 in league play. He didn’t meet the minimum of playing in 75 percent of a team’s games to be ranked in league statistics, but he would have ranked fifth in scoring in league games if he did (18.5). He would have ranked sixth in the Big Sky in scoring overall (15.2), and would have been seventh in the league in free throw shooting at 81.1 percent (60-of-74). Davison missed EWU’s first two games in 2018-19 because of wrist and ankle injuries, but returned to play versus Green Bay (11/16/18) and UMKC (11/17/18). He had an 11-point performance in his season debut, then scored eight points and had two assists in the next game. He had 26 points at Portland State (1/24/19), sinking 10-of-21 shots with three 3-pointers. He scored 23 with three assists, three rebounds, three steals and two blocked shots versus Montana State (1/19/19). He scored what was then a career-high 25 points versus North Dakota State (12/8/18), sinking 11-of-19 shots from the floor with a trio of 3-pointers. He had 20, with four 3-pointers, five rebounds and three assists, against South Dakota State on (12/18/18). He scored at least 20 points in eight Eastern games, with 15 performances in double-digits. He was EWU’s leading scorer in seven games, and also led in steals on nine occasions and blocked shots in six games.

2017-18: Davison made the first start of his career at Seattle (12/3/17) and started seven-straight games. He came off the bench in the last 21 and averaged 7.1 points on the season. His debut season ended with seven points, a career-high four steals and three rebounds in EWU’s loss to Utah Valley (3/13/18) in the College Basketball Invitational. He scored 41 points and had 14 rebounds in three Big Sky Tournament games, including 16 in both the semifinals and championship game. He scored in double figures seven times in his last 13 games, including 14 points in EWU’s regular season finale versus Northern Arizona (3/3/18) and 17 at Weber State (2/22/18). During Eastern’s eight-game winning streak from Feb. 15 to March 9, Davison averaged 11.3 points on 27-of-51 shooting from the field (52.9 percent) and 10-of-22 from the 3-point line (45.5 percent). He also made 26-of-27 free throws (96.3 percent). He had his best scoring game in more than two months in finishing with 12 against Sacramento State (2/1/18), then had another dozen (all in the second half) three games later against Montana (2/15/18). Those performances were his most since scoring 15 at Utah (11/24/17) when he had his third double-figure scoring performance in a four-game span. He came off the bench to score 20 against Georgia State (11/20/17), and had 11 one game earlier versus UNLV (11/17/17).

2016-17: Redshirted.

High School: Graduated from Cantwell-Sacred Heart High School in 2016. He was the Whittier Daily News All-Area Player of the Year as a senior in the 2015-16 season.

He led the Cardinals to a 16-13 record and helped his team advance to the CIF State regional playoffs. CantwellSacred Heart was also the only area team to advance to the playoffs in the CIF Southern Section Open Division, losing to powerhouses Mater Dei and Compton. He scored 36 points on 12-of-16 shooting from the field in a 73-56 win over Serra on Dec. 9, 2015. One day earlier, he had 23 points, 13 rebounds, three blocked shots and a pair of steals in a 19-point win over Leuzinger (54-35). In his junior season he was a first team All-Del Rey League selection and his team’s offensive player of the year. He averaged nearly 14 points per game and was selected to the Whittier Daily News All-Area team. The Cardinals finished 17-14 and advanced to the regional semifinals of the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Division III Championships, losing to the eventual champions. He was also MVP at a Michael Jordan Flight School showcase camp in the Los Angeles area. He is an Eagle Scout and was on the honor roll all four years in high school.

2019-20: Named to the Big Sky Conference All-Academic team for the third-straight year.

Perry, who missed five games in November and early December with a high ankle sprain, was selected as the team’s Most Improved Player in the 2019-20 season. He returned to the starting lineup after his injury and averaged 6.2 points and 2.5 assists for the season.

In league only games, he ranked 14th in the Big Sky in assists (2.7) and 11th in 3-pointers made per game (1.7). He hit a 3-pointer – the 100th of his career -- to give EWU the lead for good in a 78-75 victory at Idaho on Jan. 16. He made five 3-pointers in the second half to finish with 15 points in a 77-66 win at Northern Arizona on Feb. 3, coming three points from his career high.

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2020-21 “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 2018-19), 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 2020-21 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 overseas, 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 sixthround 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 Lil-

lard 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.

More About Harvey . . .

• Tyler Harvey was selected by Associated Press as an honorable mention All-America selection after his record-breaking season as the leading scorer in NCAA Division I. He became the third player in EWU’s 32 seasons as a member of NCAA Division I to earn honorable mention All-America honors from Associated Press. Alvin Snow was the first in 2004, and Rodney Stuckey was chosen in 2006 and 2007.

• He was also a repeat member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches AllDistrict 6 squad – earning first team accolades after second team honors as a sophomore.

• Harvey was also one of 16 finalists for the Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year, and is also one of 31 finalists for the Lou Henson Award given to the nation’s top mid-major player.

As a result, he was recognized on the Lou Henson All-America team.

• In addition, Harvey was a first team selection on the All-Big Sky Conference team for the second-straight season. He helped the Eagles close the year 26-9 on the season 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 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) in 32 seasons as a member of NCAA Division I. • Harvey was selected as a first team selection on the 2014-15 Academic All-America® team for NCAA Division I as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Harvey was one of five players to be named to the first team, and is EWU’s initial first team selection in school history. He had a 3.60 grade point average as a communications studies major. On Feb. 25, 2015, Harvey was the recipient of a “Keeper of the Dream” award from EWU’s Africana Studies department.

• Harvey led NCAA Division I in scoring (23.1 points per game) and 3-pointers per game (4.00), and was 14th in 3-point shooting percentage (43.1 percent) and 44th in free throw percentage (.852).

• 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 2020-21 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. “It’s definitely an honor and there have been a lot of great players in this conference,” said Bliznyuk after the record fell.

Bliznyuk was just the fifth player in the then 55-year history of the league to hit the 2,000-point mark. But his record lasted just 316 days before being broken by Montana State’s Tyler Hall (2,518). Hall broke the record on EWU’s home court in Cheney on Jan. 19, 2019, but EWU won the game 85-81.

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. He played most of the 2018-19 season in Australia and is now playing in Greece.

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).

Jois was only the third player at the time in the then 53-year history of the Big Sky Conference to have more than 1,600 points and 900 rebounds in his career. The only other players in league history to have more than 1,600 points and 900 rebounds are Larry Krystkowiak (Montana, 1983-86, 2,017 points, 1,105 rebounds, 3,122 total) and Steve Hayes (Idaho State, 1974-77, 1,933 points, 1,147 rebounds, 3,080 total). For total points/rebounds, Jois was fourth all-time with a total of 2,818.

H e earned All-Big Sky Conference honors all four years as an Eagle – first team as a junior and senior, and honorable mention as a sophomore and freshman. He was the league’s Freshman of the Year in the 2012-13 season. He was also honored twice on the National Association of Basketball Coaches Association All-District 6 squad, earning first team honors as a junior and second team as a senior. He was also an All-Tournament choice at the the 2015 Big Sky Conference Tournament when Eastern won three games, including a come-from-behind victory over host Montana to advance to the school’s second NCAA Tournament.

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 and the Inland Northwest Hall of Fame in 2019. 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 77 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 performances in NCAA history.

Legans Has Most Wins for a Rookie Head Coach at Eastern in 75 Years Shantay Legans is the 18th coach in Eastern history, and made history of his own in his debut season . 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 2018-19 seasons which have win totals of 15, 26, 18, 22, 20 and 16 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 117 victories in six years, 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, 12 -- in that six-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.

Eagles in the Big Sky Tournament

• 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.

• Eastern has made 17 Big Sky Conference Tournament appearances in 32 years as a member of the league, and has a record of 17-15 in its 32 games. The Eagles are 1-0 in the first round, 6-5 in the quarterfinals, 8-4 in the semifinals and 2-6 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 their chance at a first-round bye and had to face the Eagles again. In the rematch, WSU outscored EWU 46-25 in the second half as the Wildcats overcame a 12-point EWU halftime lead

EAGLE MEN’S BASKETBALL 2020-21 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 2020-21 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 son, Christian Snow, his motivation to “work daily towards becoming the greatest version of myself that I can.”
