Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
If you turned off tonight's Big Sky Championship game when Weber State went to the locker room at halftime with a 20-point lead on Montana, you missed quite a show in the second
You see, the Grizzlies came back and took the conference's automatic bid, stunning the top-seeded Wildcats on their home court.
And it was mostly due to the efforts of one man, 6-3 senior guard Anthony Johnson.
You see the Grizzlies scored 66 points on the night, to top Weber State by one. Mr. Johnson had 42 of them.
Check out his line for the night:
Whichever two or three seed draws the Grizzlies in the first round of the NCAA Tournament next week may want to try guarding him. Just a suggestion.
However, Johnson's performance was only the most impressive of the night because he won. Nicholls State's Anatoly Bose scored 40 of the Colonels' 57 points in a losing effort against Sam Houston State in the Southland quarterfinals.

Johnson may have just played his
way into the NBA draft tonight. A gutty performance for the ages. I enjoyed the heck out of watching him for two seasons of Griz basketball.

"Stats from the spring," he said when handed the numbers. "I can take those down to the spare bathroom in the house. We can put them to use down there."
