Eastern set to face Weber in semi's

The Eastern Eagles will have to dethrone the reigning Big Sky Champions once again to make their first ever NCAA tournament. Weber State ended the Sacramento State Hornets' season Saturday with a 68-62 win. In the other matchup Saturday, Idaho State took out Montana 74-73. This means that Weber State as the number five seed is the highest seed remaining in the tournament creating the matchup with Eastern. Northern Arizona, the number two seed will take on Idaho State at 6:05 on Tuesday at Reese Court.

The Eagles have split the season series with the Wildcats, losing recently in overtime in Ogden just over a week ago. EWU has defeated all three other teams remaining at home in the regular season, but the postseason is a different story. The Eagles record in January and February the past three seasons has been remarkable, but in March the Eagles are just over .500.

Tipoff is set for approximately 8:15 p.m. Tuesday.
