Idaho State at Weber State day after blog

Weber State 65, Idaho State 59

Check out the Journal's game recap here

And here's the Standard-Examiner's game recap

Star of the game: Chris Hansen. Against Weber State's tenacious man-to-man defense, Hansen was the lone Bengal to find success. His 27 points kept it close, and he was brilliant.

Star of the game No. 2: Davion Berry. Like Hansen for ISU, I have no idea what Weber State would have done without Berry. From a scoring perspective, Berry had a little more help than Hansen, but his value to the Wildcats really shined when the shot clock was nearing zero.

Weber State was patient — very patient offensively, and the 'Cats faced several shot-clock-less-than-five-seconds-time-to-make-a-play situations. Berry was the man for that. Whether it was the 6-foot-4 senior hitting a shot or creating for a teammate, Weber's ability to drain the shot clock and still score points was crucial Monday night to hold off the Bengals.
