Today's word on journalism

Friday, April 11,
2008

More from the Do-Gooder File:

"For much of his career, he could outthink, out-hustle, out-report, outeat, outdrink and outwork any other journalist in the country. But if his excesses were occasionally unbridled, they were driven by his passion to get a good story and root out the bad guys. ... He could get excited about an investigation of public corruption or a bizarre animal story. We once spent weeks following a story about a dog on 'death row' that Bob believed was 'innocent.'"

--Howard Schneider, former Newsday editor, on the death yesterday of Bob Greene, larger-than-life investigative reporter, editor and Pulitzer winner, April 10, 2008

Aggies one win from sharing regular-season WAC title

By C. Jake Williams

March 7, 2008 | Boise State (22-8, 12-4 WAC), the only three-loss team in the WAC, played host to Utah State Thursday night with sole ownership of the regular-season WAC title on the line.

After defeating the Broncos 88-69, the Aggies (22-9, 11-4) are one win from securing a share of that title. USU guard Jaycee Carroll and BSU forward Reggie Larry cancelled each scored 23 points and gathered nine rebounds, both game highs.

The Aggie bench made the difference in the game, outscoring the Bronco subs 29-6. USU senior forward Stephen DuCharme scored 20 points and nabbed seven rebounds in relief of the oft foul-plagued Tai Wesley, who fouled out for the seventh time this season.

A Kris Clark 3-pointer four minutes into the game gave USU a 10-8 lead and BSU trailed the rest of the way. Clark scored nine points and dished five dimes for USU, which lead 44-30 at the half. Utah State also defeated BSU Jan. 17 by the score 82-78 behind 29 points from Carroll.

Guard Matt Bauscher led the Broncos with 24 points in the first meeting, but failed to score Thursday night on five field-goal and two free-throw attempts. Boise State, its regular season now complete, must wait to see which team(s) it will share the regular-season title with. Utah State, New Mexico State and Nevada all sport 11-4 conference records.

Utah State finishes the regular season at Idaho Saturday in its shot at a share of the crown. USU previously beat the Vandals 79-64 on Jan. 19 in the Spectrum. Saturday's game tips at 8:05 p.m.
