Cats vs San Jose State

[Potomac Griz]

Just started a few minutes ago. Anyone know if it's streaming online somewhere, or is this a radio only game?

Hope you guys can pick up a win down there. Would be nice to see all of the Big Sky teams kick some ass against non-conference opponents at this point in the season!

MSU down 19-8 with around 10min to go in the 1st half....

I'd rather listen to a 2 hour loop of Christina Aguilera's Super Bowl National Anthem than listen to or watch this team play basketball anymore. Oh yeah...we're already way behind-what a surprise.

Cats are shooting 5 for 23 so far...

[grizzh8r]

Will Oliver hit 30 tonight? How's he playing?

[CelticCat]

Cats down 24 with about 1:28 left in the half, I'm out.

[CATS2000]

Pretty bad... Down 21 at the half. I can't believe this team might not even qualify for the BSC tournament. That is absolutely pathetic with the start they had in conference play this year.

[Potomac Griz]

Tre Johnson and Shawn Reid are having pretty decent games. Johnson has 13 points, 4 rebounds (5-8 shooting). Reid is 3-5 from the 3 and has 9 points.

Cats are playing much better this half. 54-44 I think right now.

[CatBlitz]

No excuse to be down 21 at the half. Johnson needs to start every game, in my opinion. And it's looking like Reid should too.

[Potomac Griz]

When you drop 7 in a row, including a home loss to Sac State who hadn't won a home game since sometime last year...it's time for drastic changes.

Going with a smaller quicker lineup with Tre Johnson and maybe Reid too in there might get the Cats going in the right direction so something can be salvaged of this season.

Cats are lucky right now to only be down by 12 with Rush only having 6 points, and Howard having 2 on 1-7 shooting.

Edit: My mistake, Howard has 5 now (hit a 3 I guess in the past couple mins) Still only 2-9 shooting though

[Potomac Griz]

You guys watching replays of Christina Aguilera attempting to sing are missing a good comeback Cats down by 4 with about 5 mins to go.

[Potomac Griz]

Damn near came back...were within 2 at one point with a chance to tie. Cats ended up losing by 4 77-73.

Rush, after a very slow start ended up with 20 points, Singleton had 15, Johnson 15, and Reid 11. Cats outscored SJSU 48-31 in the second half.

That Adrian Oliver for SJSU sounds pretty impressive. 35 points for him.

[BelgradeBobcat]

I'm sure we'll ride this moral victory over a team with a record almost as bad as ours all the way to 7th place in the Big Sky Conference standings. I can just hear Lasky cheerfully commenting about all the encouraging things to come out of this game. I'm not sure what to do Saturday-jab a pencil in my eye or go watch us lose to Idaho. I think I'll choose pencil.

yep. i might be able to think of one more guy i'd like to see starting as well.

Reed was 0-fer Sac. State. If he hits just a couple of jumpers we probably win that game. That's the problem with this team. Some key player(s) will always completely disappear. Sometimes it's for a half sometimes it's for a full game. There is no chemistry-no team work-just 5 random players running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

Go ahead and start Johnson and Reed-and watch them go 3-25. It'll happen.

[ilovethecats]

oh i agree. i think most of the guys on this team aren't real good. but if we are gonna lose games anyway, i'd prefer to get guys some minutes and try to build any sort of chemistry for next year. no matter what lineup we use, we still only have 2-3 d1 caliber players on this team so any lineup is going to be difficult to watch.

[technoCat]

No wonder that Oliver guy is so good, he's been playing for 5 years!

Gotta be proud of this teams fight. We just need to get out chemistry right. I think have Piepoli com off the bench might help. Maybe he could come in, hit a couple shots and get his confidence back.

Gotta be proud of this teams fight.

no disagreement there. i still don't think i have ever seen this team quit. sometimes it looks like they have because they are getting blown out but i really don't think so. they could have lost that game by 40 last night and instead they gutted it out and had a shot of winning. i don't know that many have questioned their heart. i know i haven't. i have questioned coaching decisions first and foremost, and those decisions led to poor talent. effort is not the issue.

this team needs a win BAD to get any sort of confidence.
