Leave it to us to lose to a team that's never been in the tournament... ugh...

Lots to be happy and proud about this year. I don’t think anyone, including our own fans would have predicted a big Sky tournament title.

Dang. Congrats to Grambling. We really fell off cliff in that second half.
Tough to go out this way, but great season with better to come.

Unfortunately it’s the story of the Bobcats doing Bobcat things in the playoffs and meaningful games.

You're saying this about a team that has won three consecutive Big Sky tournaments? GTFO

The chip on the shoulder they’ve been playing with for the last couple weeks fell off at half.
Actually they still had it rolling early in the 2nd half, went up by FOURTEEN and were crushing it on O, D, getting turnovers, etc. Then we missed 3 wide open 3's in a row, then made one but there was a travel first, then started turning the ball over..... I mean I know hoops is a game of streaks but that was a complete avalanche\meltdown. Great season and great effort Cats, but man that was disappointing.


Great time to be a BOBCAT!

Great job by Grambling, glad that coach works for them and not Weber State or the Griz. Amazing season, can't wait to see what's next!

Good season regardless, we would have probably lost our last game anyway.
3Peat!!!

I can hardly wait to see what Coach and the team can do next year.

I feel for RFIII, he deserved a W and that post game interview.

The conspiracy theorist in me would like to point out how our best player once again gets put in foul trouble and is out for stretches that change the complexion of the game...

All the credit to Grambling. They were down and out for the count. I think we were playing a bit over our heads the last few games and just couldn’t sustain it.

I think I liked them being behind at the half then pouring it on in the 2nd. Unfortunately the Cats were on the receiving end of that this game.
Still, who thought this team would even get to the dance, let alone be Big Sky Champs again this year. Lots to be proud of and excited about moving forward with Logie at the helm. Sure will miss Robert Ford III though.

Get a shirt or two. He will never leave you cold.

Hit a couple of those 3s and up 20 might have been a blowout. Way to many offensive rebounds given up. Not sure why we didn't try a zone a little more and slow the penetration.

Tough loss.
But, a great year considering this time last year none of us had ever heard of our coach or a good share of the players.

We had a hard time stopping the dribble drive in the 2nd half. 53% free throws didn’t help either. Thank you for the awesome ride Bobcats! Can’t wait for next season!

Grambling is the better team imo! Hope they play well against Purdue!
Fun that the Cats made it!!

Yeah, they had one guy in the short corner, 3 guys almost out of bounds on the sidelines, then made us guard 1 on 1. Looked like that 8th grade "clear out" offense when you have one really good player.

Good start but golly the ball gets stuck when it goes to walker. 12-9 first time out
Yeah really hurting his team right now. 🙄
We need a few more people to hurt them with 10 pts and 2 rebounds on 5-6 shooting
Yep, finished with 4 more, he is a decent player but needs more than the spin move, needs to kick out when they double or triple.
Games we consistently went into him I still say offense was more stagnant. Not a great defender or rebounder. Would have liked to see he and Olmstead at same time.
Was surprised last play didn't go thru Ford.
