If you have not watched YOUR Bobcats play this year, this is the perfect time to start...Let's PACK THE BRICK this Saturday...GO CATS!

I am looking forward to this double header on Saturday. It has been a while since I have seen the women play this season, but I purchased tickets for both games on saturday. I am looking forward to seeing the ladies play.

The men are struggling a bit, but I think that they can still pull a win out this weekend...particularly in front of a great home crowd. GO CATS!

To me the men's game is almost an afterthought . We don't have the players to matchup on the men's side especially down low. I do think that the more Tre Johnson can get on the floor and develop along with Allou (two guys who can jump) the better.

The ladies game is going to be a battle. The Lady Griz are starting to get their shooting touch going and they can roll out 4 or 5 very talented post players in Hurley, Sullivan, Ena etc. Ena vs Semansky is worth the price of admission.

It will be a game of adjustments and key shots. The Lady Griz really clamped down the second half on the Cats.

Despite what the records among the team in Big Sky on the women's side may say, the only team I feel couldn't threaten the Cats on a given night for a win going forward is Sacramento. There is a lot of parity on the women's side of the conference.

I think both games should be fun and hope for a big crowd at both games.

On a side note, I have two extra tickets to the mens game that I purchased and are not going to be used if anyone is interested. Paid $27 for both, looking for at least $20.
Section 206; Row J; Seats 5 and 6.

If you haven't seen the drumline perform, it's worth going just for that. They played during the Cat griz volleyball match and it was awesome.
Too bad they won't be playing at the Lady Cat's halftime. hint, hint.
