The Bobcat Nation

This game is going to be quite a challenge. Will there be more pregame injury surprises where the Cats will have even less than 9 players available? Or will someone(s) from the decimated sophomore class be cleared to play. Sophomores with unknown injury status, Brumfield, Dykstra & Philip. Sophomores out for the season, Olson & Hein. It will be interesting to see what the infirmary at the end of the bench looks like today. The freshman are really going to need to step up today and some of them have their best games to date.

Yes, frosh need to produce today. Gonna be tough either way. I think Berry’s going to develop into a solid player. Today might be the day.

Will the Missoula fanboy reporters even mention the Bobcat injuries?

Good summary. It’s too bad that injuries are the story of the game, but they are. Add Lexi Deden to that sophomore group and you have a pretty good basketball team. Three starters from the five pencilled in at the beginning of the season. It’s a rough road when your injuries could probably beat the rest of your team.

I agree about Brooke Berry. Her inexperience is definitely showing, but she’s speedy and you don’t lead Montana AA in scoring three times without some offensive punch. She’s a good jumper and has a nose for the ball. If she can stay out of foul trouble she might have a good day — ‘Cat/gris sometimes brings out the best in Montana-born players. Madison has become an adopted Montanan, and I look for her to have a good day.

I still expect the remaining group to put up a good fight. They’ve of necessity become a better defensive team. If some shots will drop …

Go, ‘Cats. Beat the gris.

No. Thanks for reminding me to hook the radio sync into my speakers!

Wife and I are ready!

Dykstra in the starting lineup

The start doesn't bode well unless the Cats pick up the defense and keep the gris off the boards.

Nice comeback ladies.

Keep it up.

After being down 14, Cats tie it up!!!

Looks like you were heard.

Is the lady on the call Jordan Sullivan?

@Hi-Line Bobcat I think it is Krista Redpath

That's who it usually is and it sounds like her

Gfeller flops to start the 3rd.

Seems like erratic foul calls or maybe Cats need to take flop lessons from gfeller.

Cats take the lead!!

Good effort by Hall!

44-41 Cats end of third.

Cats lead 44-41 at the end of the 3rd!
