MBB at Idaho

Post by WYCAT » Mon Jan 16, 2023 8:15 pm

About as bad as it could have started. Down 14-2 early. Big hole to dig out of.

Rough start. Cats absorbed a lot of fouls with no calls. Defense was not great. 1 3 1 looks better. I think they'll catch up if they can hit some shots.


Can't make up my mind as to which is better - 55-21 or 48-14.

Man I don't get that. Ford is all over Brown, gets himself hit in the eye. No foul is called until Ford lays on the floor and then they call a flagrant foul on Brown.

Switching to the zone changed everything. Down huge early but we battled all the way back. Down 34-29 at halftime including the ugliest 3 I've seen in a while from Idaho at the buzzer.

This is the most uninterested I’ve seen this team play so far this season. The first half was a dud and the Cats look like the team still winless in conference play. The switch to the 1-3-1 was nice and it finally gave them the edge athletically. Will be curious to see how the 2nd half starts. We know this team can get hot quick. Need more ball movement on offense to take advantage of our superior athleticism.

We just can't get over the hump. Someone has to get hot down the stretch or we're in trouble.

The right team won this game. We looked flat all night including Sprinkle. Battle played harder than anyone all night. Better flush this one immediately and get ready for Saturday.

Every year we do this at least once. I just don't get it.


Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

Complete embarrassment… Cats looked like the team with no conference wins. Players and coaches alike looked flat and unenthused. This one will definitely affect conference tournament seeding and will sting for some time. Definitely not the game fans and the team want going into Saturday.

Wow, the men shot 9.1% from 3... Hard to get a V when that happens. It has been a long week. Get some good rest guys and come out on fire on Saturday.

Biggest stat is that we went 2-12 from 3. We looked flat from the jump and had a lot of sub par performances.

Flush it, learn from it, move on.

60 FT's total. That's unreal. Poorly played and poorly officiated game. Just ugly.

3rd game in 6 days. Felt like we lost our legs a bit. It happens, we'll be fine.

I don’t buy that as an excuse. These guys are Div 1 athletes 18-22 years old, not 40 year old rec league! Nobody had the clutch gene tonight.

Bobcats didn't play well, but officiating lost them the game. Battle gets hammered going up for a shot. No foul called and Battle gets called for a technical when he lets the ref know about it. So instead of 2 made free throws by Battle, id makes 2 and gets the ball.


Can't make up my mind as to which is better - 55-21 or 48-14.

Totally crapped the bed on that one. Probably out of the running to win the regular season now. Starting a big road swing by losing to the league's worst team. Only had to guard one guy and couldn't stop him. Outside shooting has been terrible most of the season-why? These guys should be better than this. Now for sure if we happen to win the league tournament we're looking at a 16 seed at best and probably playing in the first four-but that seems like a long ways off.
