The Bobcat Nation

Caught up with both coaches Friday afternoon http://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/ap ... s/?p=10156

Lasky just tweeted Fall has been cleared to play tonight. He won't start, but will play.

On one of our patented scoreless streaks, just 1 technical free thrown made so far in like 5 minutes.

1 FG made in the last 8 minutes. Stellar!

9 minutes and counting.

1 FG made in the last 10 and a half minutes now!

Budnich finally hits a 3, first bucket in 5 minutes, and it had been 6 before that.

Cats down 28-37 at the half, shooting 36% so far, 10 turnovers, . How we aren't down more is a miracle.

I suppose EWU couldn't keep playing bad and MSU couldn't keep playing well forever. We just don't seem to match up with them very well at all.

Down 12 now. Going back to last half, we have made three FGs in 15 minutes of play.

EWU smacked us in the mouth-we staggered around and didn't hit back. Not getting any calls either. I hope this doesn't start the second half season tailspin already. Our next opponent-ISU-has looked very good against Weber State.

That's what I'm afraid of too...it's about that time of year~!

Yep. ISU just beat Weber State on a last second buzzer beater. ISU is red hot coming in to Bozeman. Here we go...

They beat us with "physical defense" according to Lasky....in fact both the women and men...when are we either going to be able to play "physical defense" or learn to play offense against it....and why is it when we seemingly play "physical" we get called for foul after foul...is it just me or has this been the case for the last ten or fifteen years? It seems like soon as Lasky starts saying that we probably have made the tournament with 6 wins, the fade starts.

The only player on either team who seems to play "physical" and get away with it is Rachel Semansky...or is she the only "physical" player either of them has? I'll admit that the women looked like they were knocked around pretty well today...all except Rachel who had 19 points. Katie had only 4 points on 2 of 12 shooting! Ashley Albert, Tish, Ausha, and everyone else didn't shoot much better. It seemed to me as though Eastern bumped and grabbed and slapped us around...but few fouls were called on them....that must be "playing physical". Maybe the coach has to tell the refs before the game that we would like to play physical too....so they will disregard our body contact, grabbing and slapping of arms underneath the basket, and reaching in out on the floor too.

I agree. It seems like both the Bobcat men and women always lose a "physical" match up, especially when they play you know who.
