much as he's been our nemisis, you had to feel for ruben boykin after last night's weber state game. he missed a point-blank put-back that would have put northern arizona into the lead, then fouled trying to rebound his miss. weber makes the two free throws for a four-point turnaround, and northern arizona can't recover.
as the announcers reminded, he also missed a breakaway slam against us last year, after which we stemmed an early northern arizona run and took control of the game. so boykin's legacy will be that he missed two crucial shots in big sky championship games. no wonder he was looking to the heavens with tears in his eyes after the game.
