Sasquatch advanced to the NWAC Final Four with a 93-69 victory over Whatcom and Lane
It was an off night for Dedrick Pakootas, but his teammates more than made up the difference. Spokane Falls advance to the NWAC Men’s Basketball Final Four with a 93-69 victory over Whatcom featuring former Lummi Nation standout Trazil Lane Friday at Everett Community College.

Spokane shot 49 percent from the field, including 46 percent from beyond the arc. The Sasquatch also made 12 of 14 free throws. Whatcom shot 36 percent from the field and 39 percent from the free-throw line.
