MBB vs Sac State

[MSU01]

I think Tyler needs to play about 30 minutes on Saturday, and keep jacking up 3's until he hits a couple. His body language was really not good last night after he got benched. Lost his mojo, I'm afraid.

Good point, Gazelas has struggled lately too and could use a confidence boost. It'll be interesting to see how much Belo and Xavier play tomorrow or if they play at all. Xavier certainly won't play anywhere near 39 minutes like he did last night.

I agree with this. There was one possession against SUU where he caught the ball down on the block and made an aggressive post move to the basket. He ended up getting hacked and made his free throws. Depending on the matchup scenario, I would like to see some of that. Just get him knocked around a bit and playing basketball again without thinking.

Osobar has a lot of weapons for a big guy. Passes, rebounds, can dribble, quick moves. Going to be fun to watch

The play where he got the contested rebound, looked to pass for a second but then decided to just take it in, got hacked and lost the ball but then went up and put it in really showed his potential. I was complimenting him to a friend that might have been the best play I've seen from a big not named Belo in quite some time. Of course, then he promptly started turning the ball over so there is still lots of work to be done!

Completely agree. Some have mentioned pace slows when he and Belo are in at and time, but I think it causes match up issues for other teams, especially if they don't have two strong Bigs. Next year watch out. And add a7.3. Guy to the mix

Great win to own the Big Sky Conference championship. No sharing. This was the biggest crowd we have had and it was loud.

One last home game Saturday. I wish my mind didn't go there, but dang it, I always think about all the years when the Big Sky champ got to host the Big Sky tournament. I would be there for every game, as I have been all season, but I am not able to attend the tournament in Boise. Just just self pity.

So what was the student section chanting in the 2nd half that drew a warning from the announcer? I couldn't make it out. About the 6:00 mark on the replay.

I also remember the deflation of a tournament in Bozeman when the ‘Cats lost to the g…s. Might as well have turned off the lights in the Brick right then. I like the neutral court.

I still have PTSD from that freaking game.

They said some things I couldn’t make out but I know I heard “Bulls&*t” from their section on some bad calls.

I couldn’t understand what they were saying…but I sure liked that they were active and engaged and chanting. And I chuckled when the announcer asked them to remember their sportsmanship in the Brick! Ha! That admonishment would have only made us a little louder back in the day I went as a student.

Yeah I heard the bull pucky chants too and have to admit I almost joined them. But the other chant??????

[Bobcat4Ever]

I guess I don’t blame the students. On Sac State’s second position, their player drove right up the left edge of the paint and encountered a Belo and I think Muhammad. He was dribbling left-handed, stopped the ball for a beat with both hands, put it down again (double dribble), picked it up, took a step or two (travel) and started dribbling again (triple dribble). It’s possible we dislodged the ball, but I didn’t think so. Anyway, that would still leave two violations right in front of the official. You know it’s going to be a strange evening after that, but it didn’t totally get out of hand. Just close.

I'm pretty sure that they found out that the Sac St. head coaches name is Brandon and they combined the "Let's go Brandon!" chant with what that Nascar crowd was actually saying to give him a warm welcome to MSU.

You guys made me do some more research with the younger set who were in attendance. You are right that with the coaches name being Brandon Laird, our very creative and aware kids started the chant “Lets go Brandon”….. Ultimately, at some point the “real” Brandon made a gesture of some type to the kids. Which, of course, made the kids become very respectful, kind, loving, supportive, nice, quiet….…and the chant became “F$&k U Brandon” which I am sure was intended to be more “endearing” and make the “real” Brandon even feel more welcome and warm and fuzzy! At that point, the PA announcer reminded the crowd of their sportsmanship which the crowd disobeyed royally. Ha! Love it when we get a good group of students at the games.

Osobor is going to be really good. Hope he sticks around (not a rumor just the nature of college basketball today).

Agreed about Patterson, let him shoot until he makes one. In fact don’t let him rest until he makes one. I mean the game doesn’t mean a ton anyway.

I can’t find a printable bracket on the Big Sky’s website. How does the bracket go? Top 5 get byes?

I understand fan bias but you go way beyond bias....I went back after reading this post and watched the replay....Sac's second "possession" (I assume that's what you meant) nothing anything close to what you describe happens, or on the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, etc. possessions....Be biased, OK....don't blatantly lie....really screws up your credibility and makes you sound too much like a whiney Griz fan....

Yeah but there was a double dribble in the sequence. Ref said it got tipped but I didn’t see it.

Could you tell me at what point in the game this occurred so I can look at the replay again...I saw nothing close to this....After checking the possessions that Bobcat4Ever quoted, I wasn't going to watch the whole game again to find what he said occurred in the second possession...I watched the first 6 Sac possessions of each half and nothing close happened (btw, in the first half during those 6 possessions I saw 2 fouls by Montana St. that weren't called but that happens in every game)....If the refs were so terribly biased against Montana St. then how come you shot so many more free throws than we did? I'm not complaining but don't understand how you all can see things I don't see and I see things you all don't see....
