Re: Tonight's NAU Game
Robert Ford is worth the price of admission by himself. Even if we struggle some this season, people should come to these games just to watch him play. What a warrior and hustler…he is just fun to watch!

This!! He is inspirational.
While registering my vehicles the assessor stated "I have had both Cat and Griz students and alums work for me and the Griz end up working under the direction of the Cats."

Re: Tonight's NAU Game
He sure does. At the Big Sky tournament TW sat adjacent to the NAU section, but didn't do any noticeable cheering. Which would have been hard considering how NAU played so amazingly.BelligerentBobcat wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2024 4:17 amI didn’t realize Tom Wistrcill had a kid playing college hoops.BelgradeBobcat wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2024 11:00 pmLogie is a heck of a coach to get us a 29 point conference win with this group. I was expecting us to usually get blown out on the road and eek out a few close wins at home. But so far we've got a road conference win and a 29 point home win. Now NAU is seriously undermanned right now. Their really good center Carson Towt, who had 16 points against Belo and Osobor in the Big Sky title game last year, is out with an injury. And their backup center Jack Wistrcill, who's not bad is also out. So NAU has really no bigs. But then again, neither to do we really. Brandon Walker looks like an all league player the first 6 or 7 times up and down the court. Then he gets winded and struggles. If our staff can get him committed to an off-season training program, he could turn into a really special player, because he has incredible moves and touch inside. Robert Ford on the other hand, has a motor that just won't quit. He's just having and incredible season filling the stat sheet. Tonight he had 12 rebounds, a bunch of steal and assists, and 15 points. Glad he stayed around.

Re: Tonight's NAU Game
The guys are starting to run Coach Logie's offense more instinctively, and it looked good last night. The back cuts, floor spacing and driving lanes were all on display. NAU's lack of defense had something to do with it, but it's not like we were playing a lower division team as NAU has 7 wins against D1 opponents.

It's the truth! That turnover where he ran the full length of the floor and stole the ball right back...damn!

Looks like it's going to be close to 20 below at tipoff time this evening against UNC. I can't imagine we are going to have a great crowd.

Re: Tonight's NAU Game
I bet we have more than Portland state has hosting Weber... I see 11 people behind the teams in the stands.

Re: Tonight's NAU Game
We used to have some pretty good turnout at really cold temperatures. Like what else are you going to do, and the Fieldhouse was always warmer inside than our first home was!

Re: Tonight's NAU Game
NAU looked like one of the worst teams I've seen last weekend as they got blown out on the Montana road trip. So tonight they beat Portland State by 20 at home. Portland State looked like world beaters in the non-conference racking up wins over some pretty good teams and they beat Weber State. Weber State has lost 3 in row. They lost on the road to Sac State and PSU, and tonight they lost at home to EWU in a close one. EWU looks unbeatable. Northern Colorado barely beats Sac State at home. Idaho State beats Idaho in Pocatello. Who knows what will happen this weekend in the Brawl. Big Sky MBB is drunk.

Re: Tonight's NAU Game
Weber starting out 2-3 is definitely not something I expected! EWU appears to be the best team right now in both men's and women's.

Re: Tonight's NAU Game
Is Riley that good a recruiter/coach? How come EWU comes up with the players they do? They lost a few players to the portal after last year, but they seem to have reloaded. Where do they find 6-10 3 point shooters and the rest 3 point threats and ball handlers?BelgradeBobcat wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 10:14 pmNAU looked like one of the worst teams I've seen last weekend as they got blown out on the Montana road trip.
