The Wildcats defeated the Hornets in both of their regular season matchups this season.
However, fans can expect a good game come tournament time. The two regular season games were decided by a combined 5 points.
Weber State’s last game closed the season off in a memorable way. WSU went to overtime against the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks.
Dillon Jones converted an and-one in the final minute of overtime after knifing through the Lumberjack defense. The play gave WSU the lead with 20 seconds remaining.
