The Bobcat Nation

I don't know why I get so nervous watching this team early in games, but here I am. We're up 6-5 early but missing a lot of shots. I'll be a basket case for the tournament.

Trail 14-12 at the end of 1. Freije has two fouls.

Absolutely garbage offensive foul calls against the Cats.

Another rough start on the road. They look a half a step slow on offense. Refs look a half a brain slow during that last minute.

When did we pick up Darian Smith?

My favorite was when the announcer was going off about Braxton traveling when Smith had the ball...

Squires hits a buzzer beater to put us up two at the half 32-30. Oli hit two threes early and then missed three more badly. Madison Jackson is giving us a lift. Freije hasn't scored. UNC is playing their tails off-can they keep it up? I've seen a few other UNC games-they're usually not this good. We're gonna get everybody's best shot.

Speaking of traveling, I think the Bears ladies have a better rushing game than their football team.

Same time we got the other Smith, Madeline, who was announced as being from Helena, MT.

If the Bears have an upset in them, let it be tonight because if we win we will likely play them again on Tuesday.

Cats up 7 after the third. Had a great chance to extend the lead but the shots weren't falling at the end of the quarter.

A tenuous 7 point lead at the end of the 3rd. Freije hit a few...and missed a few more-forcing it a bit I think. Madison Jackson again with very good minutes.

Gawd, this announcer is awful. Bitching about a foul when Darian Smith was knocked five feet backward. Refs have been very consistent— bad on both ends.

Yeah this announcer is a real piece of work. But whatever. Cats got a little separation now-up 12 on a Darian White runner. Bears aren't going away though. They'll be a tough test in Boise.

Boom! Cats win again! What an incredible year they have put together.

Darian white is absolutely phenomenal. I can’t believe she is only a freshman.

Hopefully the ladies can get some rest and be ready for next week. I think this road trip was draining because of the short week.

Was a great win 19-1. GO CATS GO!

Good point. Definitely looked like the 2nd night of a looooong road trip from Cedar City to Greeley. Same thing probably happened to the lady griz who lost to SUU in overtime. Hopefully the bye is a big advantage on Wednesday.

This team is just so deep though... it’s crazy how much they can sub players in and out, without skipping a beat. Other teams always seem drained at the end of games and the cats look totally fresh.

Plus getting a first round bye is always helpful.

Shoulda, coulda ....one more basket against Idaho at home and we woulda run the table. But sweet sweet 19-1 season. Congrats Lady Cats.
