Big Sky, Big West, & WAC Previews with WSU’s Dillon Jones & EWU’s Cedric Coward — HPP S3-E02

In a jam-packed show, Jake Copestick and Rich Harris preview the Big Sky, the Big West, and the WAC conferences with help from two special guests — Weber State wing Dillon Jones and Eastern Washington forward Cedric Coward.  Jones, the Player of the Year favorite in the Big Sky and an All-America candidate, averaged 16.7 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.6 steals per game last season, leading the conference in rebounding and ranking among the top five in AST%, STL%, REB%, offensive rating, defensive rating, win shares, and P/M.  Coward, a junior poised to have a breakout season, finished last season with outstanding shooting splits (.683/.394/.742) and led the Big Sky with a plus-minus of 6.2.  He also finished in the top 10 of the conference for REB%, STL%, BLK%, defensive rating, PER, and win shares. Additionally, Jake and Rich discuss conference realignment in a new edition of the College Hoops Notebook.  And, per usual, this episode is separated into chapters so you can easily skip to the sections that most interest you.  CHAPTERS:1.  College Hoops Notebook (4:18)2.  Dillon Jones Interview (30:29)3.  Big Sky 2023-24 Preview (1:08:57)A Review of Last SeasonCoaching ChangesRoster Changes — who is coming and goingConference Champ PredictionsNCAA Tourney Teams PredictionsPlayer of the Year Predictions4.  Big West 2023-24 Preview (1:27:12)A Review of Last SeasonCoaching ChangesRoster Changes — who is coming and goingConference Champ PredictionsNCAA Tourney Teams PredictionsPlayer of the Year Predictions5.  WAC 2023-24 Preview (1:58:44)RealignmentA Review of Last SeasonCoaching ChangesRoster Changes — who is coming and goingConference Champ PredictionsNCAA Tourney Teams PredictionsPlayer of the Year Predictions6.  Cedric Coward Interview (2:31:15)
