Barnard a go for Thursday

Senior Josh Barnard will not let his sore left achilles keep him out of the Eagles' two important home games this weekend. It is an injury that bothered him throughout the Montana game on Saturday and might have been a factor in his 1 of 5 shooting from the three-point line. "He missed practice on Monday, we're trying to give it some rest and get him ready to go for Thursday," said head coach Ray Giacoletti. "It bothers him at first, but it seems to loosen up as the game goes on," said Giacoletti.

Barnard is averaging 10.4 points per game and shooting 51 percent from the arc. The Eagles will need Barnard's shooting along with his court presence for them to continue their eight-game win streak. The game against Sac State is at 7:05pm Thursday night at Reese Court.
