Senior point guard Kevin Bell will travel to the Western Athletic Conference Media Day, held Oct. 10 in Salt Lake City. Last season, Bell averaged 9.6 points and led the WAC in assists per game (5.56).

I talked to women's basketball coach Adrian Wiggins at Saturday's football game... He said he will not take a player to media day. Senior guard Tierre Wilson would be the natural fit, but in anticipation of the future -- more pressing time away from the classroom during the season -- she will pass.

Bell will likely fly into SLC on the 10th and leave out the same day. Long season ahead, plenty of time to travel...

Bell is one of several Fresno State seniors forced to miss practice time because of classes.

That means Myles Green, a freshman walk-on from Southern California's Capistrano Valley High, moves to the first-team offense-defense. Such a move is usually tough on any newcomer, and Green's time with the starting unit is much the same. Some days are better than others.

His mistakes aren't always big things, but when the ball is in your hands on a fast break, every move you make increases or decreases your team's chances of scoring.

The week of abbreviated practices were highlighted by coach Steve Cleveland upset over the team's lack of shooting. Besides transfer Bryan Harvey, few players were making the types of shots Cleveland expected. The Bulldogs spent Thursday shooting, and shooting. Then shooting some more. Like 200 3-pointers for perimeter players and 100 hook shots per arm.
