The Bobcat Nation

In our second meeting this season, we need to return the favor and send the Vandals home with a loss. I'm sure there will be lots of fans with all the nice weather/roads.

Ready to be obnoxiously loud!

Excellent defense overall, and especially at the rim. Live to see Hodges get a put back dunk!

I dont know if i've seen so many blocks in such a short amount of time! Cats are defending the Brick. Now, lets get some better offensive looks.

Cats are really attacking the basket. Its almost like the 3 point line doesnt exist for either team.. We are up 15-8 with 10 minutes to go in the half.

21 -10 with 8:11 left in the first. Spuds has to burn a time out to pull themselves together.

What a fun game to watch thus far. 6 blocks, and several steals. Also a couple threes to bring us to a nice 32-17 lead with under 3 minutes to go in the half.

Both Idaho schools have guards that have torched us on drives to the basket. How annoying.

Idaho is ice cold from three, and Cats keep protecting their 10-12 point lead. 7:50 to go in the game.

We arent looking real solid here. need to close it out. 6 point lead with 1:44 to go...

Settled down and hit some free throws at the end. Game over. 73-66 victory!!

They always have to have that turnover and missed free throw when closing it out just to keep everyone on edge. Every win going forward, considering the situation this team is in, is pure gold!

Massive win to keep a nice gap in the standings between us and Idaho/Sac who are tied for 4th at only 5-5. The Griz lost at home to EWU tonight so the Bobcats are back in second place alone. UNC has three wins in a row and appears to have finally gotten back on track.

Good: Jed only played 31 minutes, keeping him fresh for the next game. 17 blocks/steals vs. 9 turnovers (idaho 1 block, 4 steals and 14 turnovers)
Bad: 3/11 from 3 (but Idaho 4/19..)
Ugly: Throwing the ball away and missing a one and one free throw in last couple minutes...

It was so strange to see us barely take a 3 in the first 10-15 minutes, but the strategy worked.
