Jacob Wiley’s 2016-17 Eastern Washington run was pure Big Sky boss mode
In the 2016-17 season, Jacob Wiley was a two-way wrecking ball for Eastern Washington, averaging 20.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.8 blocks, and 2.3 assists while shooting 64.3% from the field. He wasn’t just productive — he was efficient, physical, and disruptive, earning Big Sky Player of the Year and AP Honorable Mention All-America honors. The differentiator: a rare mix of rim protection, finishing touch, and motor that made him feel like a lineup’s cheat code. If you wanted toughness, impact, and instant frontcourt leadership, he was a very good fit.
