I probably spelled his name wrong, but with the numbers that he puts up in the NBA, I'm wondering why Weber ever lost a game in the Big Sky with him. I think Weber has a great coach, but this guy is incredible. He is really the number 2 guy in Portland and he was the number 1 guy in Weber, so maybe that explains it.

It's a team game. It takes much more than 1 great guy to win. There may have been chemistry issues, etc. I know from watching the BSC championship game that year vs UM that he was all they had.

Basketball is not a team game. (Well tech. yes) But it is the only major sport where if you have one outstanding athlete you can win alot of games!

Well that year UM beat Weber for the BSC title because they had a better team. Weber had the best player. EWU never won a league title with Stuckey either. He was easily the best player in the conference. You're right that you can win a lot of games, but most often the best team wins the titles. Sometimes the best team also has the best player, but don't discount what the other 4 on the court do.
