Its always nice to dream Jaeger! The Griz's chance of hosting the tournament will be SILENCED after this weeks BIG BOBCAT WIN!

The women have 5 of their next 7 at home. They win all their home games they should be right in the middle of the pack I would think at the end (definately make the tourney). Then hit the tourney and knock off Montana in Missoula (assuming the lady Griz don't get to shoot 40+ free throws this time

).

Kamaar davis has certainly helped the friz on offense, but I still think he is a liability on defense compared to their other post players who played more the first game. Anyone else remember Calvin Ento in Missoula last year? Ento came in averaging no more tha 10 points per game and put up something like 32 against Davis. Most were layups with davis watching from behind him. Moss needs to work on davis and make him play defense-and like others have said, lets run him ragged.

Yep, totally agree .. I think we need to go right at Davis and make him not only work on D in the halfcourt, but run the floor ALL OVER as well. I watched the ISU/UM game and he pretty much just stands in the key flat footed on defense with little effort at all seemed like. I'm sure some of it is from he isn't in game shape yet, but he definately seemed slow to me except when he had the ball in his hands of course.

I have watched Davis for 2 years and this is as quick as it gets. 10-13 and 7-11. He went 7-7 one time but that can cut into the rebounding stats. Seriously they say he has lost some weight and he appeared to have added a little dunk for the fun of it. Running Cats would be fun but be careful, if the threes are not dropping, whose depth is going to become a factor?

Davis has had a penchant for fouls, too. He fouled out of 8 games last year, but just once this season.

Penchant? Appears to have had a penchant last year. Is this good or bad? I think there is evidence of a penchant change which could be a reflection of a coaching change.

Yes, a coaching change. Did Davis guard Boxley? Boxley had 19 points and 8 rebounds vs. UM, which about his average. He also had 7 assists. Davis had 25 and 7 off the bench, with no fouls. Who was guarding Davis?

How's this? I wonder if well see the much bally-hooed Moss vs. Davis matchup? Krysko may not have Davis guarding Moss due to Davis's 'penchant' for fouls that he has exhibited in the past. Has this been the case all year? Or has Davis, via Krysko, gotten that squared away.

Davis went 16 pts, 6 rbs in boz and lost by 16; wnet 25 and 5 in mlsa and won by 9. This year didn't play lost by one at home. So UM is better off to have him not play at all than to play and not have a huge game. So now it looks like the pressure is squarely on Davis to have a big game.

iaafan Get back to me on the Boxley problem the week of Feb 24th and 26th.(want to include Axton.) Also no time for last year. On to Davis and Moss. Correct game is not Davis vs Moss. Although coaches can draw some similarities. The point of interest is that Davis was not in the first game. He usually gets 10-14 pts and 2-3 rebounds. For a big guy he shoots a nice freethrow. I do not think Davis will be guarding Moss. Easley part-time?
