1 Sports Information Office 1500 University Drive Billings, MT Office: (406) Fax: (406) Yellowjacket Basketball Weekly Release #13 February 9, 2004 This Week s Schedule: Tuesday, Feb. 10 BYU-Hawaii (Alterowitz Gym, 7 p.m.) Thursday, Feb. 12 BYU-Hawaii (Alterowitz Gym, 7 p.m.) Saturday, Feb. 14 Hawaii Pacific (Alterowitz Gym, 8 p.m.) This Week s Opponent: Brigham Young University-Hawaii Seasiders The Seasiders are the team to beat in the PacWest Conference as they bring a 7-1 conference mark to Billings this week. Ranked fifteenth in the nation and second in the West Region, BYU-Hawaii is 17-3 overall with only one loss to a Division II school. That loss came last week when the Seasiders were upended at Hawaii-Hilo, ending their 15-game winning streak, which was the second longest in the nation at the time. The Seasiders are talented, but not deep. They have four players averaging over 11 points a game, but only one player outside of the starting five averages over ten minutes a game. Jake Chrisman leads the team in scoring at 20.8 ppg, followed by Shawn Opunui at 18.4 ppg, Michael Stowell at 13.3 ppg, and Austin Smylie at 11.7 ppg. Chrisman and Smylie might be the best combination of big men in the league. Each shoots over 55 percent from the field, and Smylie leads the PacWest with a 59.6 percent field goal percentage. Opunui provides the outside scoring threat with 60 made 3-pointers this year. He leads the nation in 3-point percentage at 56.1 percent. The first meeting this year between the Yellowjackets and Seasiders in Laie, HI went down to the wire. Chrisman scored with six seconds left to give BYUH a win. Hawaii Pacific University Sea Warriors The Sea Warriors have been up and down, losing the first seven games of the season before having some strong showings once conference play started. HPU is 4-5 in the PacWest and 7-13 overall entering the week. They will play two games at Western New Mexico before coming to Billings on Saturday. The Yellowjackets split two games with the Sea Warriors in Honolulu at the beginning of January. MSUB lost in the first game as HPU drained 19 three-pointers and shot an amazing 70 percent from behind the arc. The Jackets rebounded for an win in the second game. HPU relies primarily on two players, Aaron Abrams and Marvin Noble. Abrams is second in the PacWest for scoring at 22.2 ppg, and Noble averages 17.5 ppg. The two have combined for Schedule and Results Date Opponent Time 11/22 Minot State W, /1 Great Falls W, /6 Chadron State W, /13 at Humboldt State L, /16 at Western Oregon L, /20 St. Martin s W, /29 Humboldt State W, /3 Western Oregon W, /6 at Hawaii Pacific* L, /8 at Hawaii Pacific* W, /10 at BYU-Hawaii* L, /16 Green Mountain W, /17 Green Mountain W, /20 Hawaii-Hilo* W, /22 Hawaii-Hilo* W, /24 Chaminade* W, /29 at Western N.M.* L, /31 at Western N.M.* L, /5 Great Falls W, /10 BYU-Hawaii* 7:00 p.m. 2/12 BYU-Hawaii* 7:00 p.m. 2/14 Hawaii Pacific* 8:00 p.m. 2/17 at Chaminade* 7:30 p.m. 2/19 at Chaminade* 7:30 p.m. 2/21 at Hawaii-Hilo* 7:15 p.m. 2/28 Montana AAU# 7:00 p.m. 3/4 Western N.M.* 7:00 p.m. 3/6 Western N.M.* 7:00 p.m. Home Games in Bold played at Alterowitz Gymnasium.
