A dismal season ended on a sour note for the Wildcats, who finished the campaign with an 81-74 loss at regional rival Idaho State on Feb. 25. Head coach Joe Cravens was fired two days later.

Cravens, 116-88 in seven seasons at Weber, was dismissed with two years remaining on his contract. Cravens was 58-44 in Big Sky play at Weber, including a 14-0 campaign in 2002-03 when he was named league coach of the year.

The Feb. 25 loss was a wire-to-wire defeat for Weber, which missed 14 of its first 17 shots en route to an 11-point deficit before the game was even 10 minutes old. Terrell Stovall had 27 points and Coric Riggs added 17 for Weber.

The Wildcats finished the season at 10-17 overall and 4-10 in the Big Sky. An Idaho State victory over Eastern Washington on Feb. 27 meant Weber wound up in last place.

For just the second time since the Big Sky tournament began in 1975-76, Weber State did not participate. The Wildcats also missed the league tourney in 1980-81.

Thus the program´s league-record string of 24 straight Big Sky tournament appearances has come to an end.

Weber´s 10 victories this season marked the third-fewest in team history. The 1986-87 squad finished 7-22 and the 1987-88 team was 9-21.
