I want to start off by telling you that I hate ties. In sports there are no ties, you have a winner and a loser. In games/sports that can result in ties, when a tie occurs, I am always left with a sour taste in my mouth. In fact in tie games, such as in the NFL, even if the game ends in a tie you have a moral victor and moral loser (see Donovan McNabb).
However, for this week's BSBTr, I am going to issue a tie. I spent a good two hours trying to decide this one, but there were two very good performances this week that I think deserve a nod. Without further ado, this weeks BSBTr, the "Sch" edition:
Congrats this week to Weber State's Tonya Schnibbe and Northern Colorado's Jaime Schroeder.
Weber State got two big W's this week, thanks in no small part to the play of Tonya Schnibbe. The point guard had 16 points, 7 assists, 3 steals, and was 5-6 from the free throw line in the Wildcats' 66-53 win over UC-Irvine. She scored or assisted 17 of the team's final 21 points as Weber State pulled away for the win. On Saturday, the Wildcats upset Mountain West favorite Utah 65-63 behind 20 points, 6 assists, and 4 steals from Schnibbe. One of her steals came in the closing seconds of the game and set up Weber's game winning possession.
Northern Colorado went 2-2 this week, getting wins over New Mexico State and Washington and losing to Florida State and #1 UConn, two teams with a combined 18-2 record. Schroeder had 15 points, 7 rebounds, and was 5-10 from the field in the 59-50 win over NMSU. The Bears then traveled to Cancun where they faced Florida State to open a holiday tournament. Schroeder had an off night, scoring just 4 points in the loss to the 'Noles, but dropped 17 points and 5 boards on the number 1 team in the land, UConn, the following night. Shroeder ended the tournament with 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists in NCU's 65-63 upset of Washington.
