The Chris Beard era opened with a win over Alabama St. on Monday, but a more formidable program enters the SJB Pavilion on Friday to challenge the Rebels.
Eastern Washington (0-1) has lost some of its talent from last season’s Big Sky regular season championship team, but at least half this team traveled into Berkeley, Cal. last year and upset Cal and likely will not be intimidated by Ole Miss (1-0).
The Rebels seem to be looking to find the right mix of players on the floor to make offensive runs but managed to beat ASU by 10 earlier this week.
