But the recently concluded Big Sky Conference basketball tournament that ended a six-day run in Reno, Nev. dished out just enough winners to keep ‘em coming back. That’s the observation of Eastern Washington University athletics director Bill Chaves who saw his two teams lose semifinal games, but for the men, there was a dividend. Getting to 17 wins, something the Eagles did with a fir...
