The Cougars (7-2) take on Weber State (4-4) at 8 p.m. at Vivint Smart Home Arena in the second game of the long-awaited event’s doubleheader. But Cannon, the former Wildcat, says he just is thankful that the NCAA granted his eligibility waiver request and doesn’t need revenge or vindication of any sort.
“It is going to be different, obviously,” said the 6-foot junior who has scored 29 points and registered 10 assists in 75 minutes. “I still have a great relationship with a lot of the Weber State guys, and I still keep tabs on them. It is just going to be weird seeing them and knowing I have to go play against them.
