MSU (MBB) vs. EWU thread

[TomCat88]

Down 11-5 early. MSU just 2 of 7 shooting. EWU 5 of 9.

[TomCat88]

16-16. 11:55

[CelticCat]

Down 50-56 with who knows how much time left (our BSTV is awful).

[CelticCat]

62-60 Cats with 2:12 to go.

64-64 OT

[CelticCat]

Cats up by 3 2:38 left in OT.

Woo, Davis with a big block at the end to prevent an easy layup to tie, Cats win!

And somehow, MSU finds itself tied for 4th in the Big Sky. Granted EWU and PSU are not very good this year, but nice to see the team get a couple wins and play more team oriented basketball. Is this a case of addition by subtraction with the recent roster changes? We will see if they can grab a win or two on the road to back this up...

CATS WIN!

How freakin' awesome and unexpected is that!

You guys have been ranting and raving and railing this team pretty hard, but all I will say this: If the Bobcats play defense like they did tonight, Montana State will win 10 league games AT LEAST and be right in the middle of the Big Sky pack. They continue to get better. Tonight, just six players played significant minutes and the result was a true team victory.

One of my winter projects is an in-depth story on the challenges of winning at MSU. Stay tuned for that. In the mean time, here's my gamer from tonight.

Loved energy, effort in final 25 minutes, especially from Dison, Davis & Egwuonwu

So...not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but what if this team does pull off 10 conference wins (a long shot IMHO) but still loses twice to the griz and loses their Big Sky tourney game: Is that enough for Huse to keep his job?

As far as the story about the challenges of winning basketball games at MSU-I would be very interested in that. I hope you can really in depth-talk to former head and assistant coaches and maybe other league coaches too? But I know there used to be a lot of excuses about why our football team couldn't win until Kramer came along and emphasized our advantages and got the fan base energized. It'll be really interesting to see what comes out of that. Good luck.

Is Brumwell still on the team? I listened last night and didn't hear his name and I didn't see it even on the roster when I looked at my ESPN app or the box score in the paper. I watched the game against Portland earlier this year and he played, is just not getting any PT anymore or is he off the team?

He played 2 minutes in the EWU game and has played in 11 games. Try using the MSU Bobcats stats.

Was in a three player collision going for a loss ball and appeared to hit his head on an elbow.

Huse, I have a dream. You may now have a guard problem with Colbert's back injury as well as Stewart being gone and the jury still out with Biglow. Also having trouble putting people in the fieldhouse, evidenced by the ticket promotion for Saturday's game.
Give me a R.....Give me an O....Give me a D....Give me another D........., he should be available this semester. This would probably put 5000 people in the fieldhouse for the next home game (are you listening Fields?), may make the Bobcats more competitive in the Big Sky and enable Huse to solidify his job. Go get him.

Pssst....only one D in Roderick.

I muster up all my courage to post and you call me out. Thanks a bunch! I should have used the Little Orphan Annie decoder ring, or the Chronicle, I guess. Still, Roderick (see) could really help with renewed fan support.

That's my worst fear...that this team could win just barely enough to buy Huse another year or two. Although, thinking that way is probably getting a bit ahead of ourselves. Let's not forget that Huse's teams traditionally fair pretty well in the first half of BSC play...before completely falling apart the 2nd time through the conference. So while I'm pleased that we won a couple of games last weekend, my enthusiam is going to be tempered until I see how we fare during the 2nd half of the BSC season.
