Good start so far. No breaks from the refs of course.

Oke with 4 offensive boards in 4 minutes played is AWFUL! The bigs need to show some heart and box out their man!

Hate seeing our guys landing on the floor on a missed shot with no foul called. Need to make those somehow. But lots of fight in this team! Hanging right in there

One thing that has surprised me the last few years is how much bigger at all positions Griz are compared to the Cats. Logie needs to figure out how to get that kind of size into his system

Ford may need to start playing with a helmet. He’s taken two in the melon already this game.


...for today we raise, the BLUE and GOLD to wave victorious!... GO CATS GO!

Halftime thoughts:
-This should be a 20+ point lead for the Griz.
- Cats are battling as best as they can
- Griz definitely have gotten a favorable whistle
- Giving up 10 O boards in a half is simply unacceptable
- Brian is “just a guy” until he shows he can average 15+ points. Sam should start over Brian based on his ability to defend alone.
- 4/5 position for the Griz is the difference maker. Logie needs to find a few big griz killers this offseason
- Run more sets to TP’s side. He has the hot hand, use it.
-Run more sets getting to the basket to put yourself in fouling positions. The only way Cats keep from getting their doors blown off is if they get 15-20 more points from the FT line.

Cats need to muck this up. I want to see some more chippiness out there. A couple of hard fouls on your rival should be standard.

Did they show Tommy sitting next to a whole gaggle of griz moms? I swear to god it was him and the camera just sat on him for a long time.


If your left, you aren’t right.

And the woman sitting right next to him, wearing a griz shirt, looked definitely like his mother. Weird site honestly.

The amount of standing and looking at the player shooting a 3 is astounding! The lack of energy is truly staggering.

I would really love to know how Aanen Moody fleeced the NCAA eligibility system. He graduated high school the same year I did (2017) and May will mark 3 years since I graduated with a bachelors. You do the math, dude has been in school a MINUTE

4th straight loss. The February swoon is alive and well in Bobcat land.

We just don’t have the talent. Certainly no depth. Can’t blame that on Logie for sure. I can’t wait for us to get some dudes under Logie and come back and thump decuire and the griz.

To the Gorake point, Lecholat plays 1/2 as many minutes as Brian, and equals his output. Am I missing something here?

End of game thoughts:
- Brawl will be much more competitive in the next couple of years. The talent and depth of this Cats team is an issue.
- This team will win exactly zero games if they have ET3 as the leading scorer while Rob, Brian, and Patterson all score in single digits
- we knew rebounding was an issue but holy heck was it bad tonight.
- Put Goracke into witness protection because he’s been MIA for a month now. His lack of offensive confidence is starting to bleed into his nonexistent defense.
- Lastly, and the most concerning theme the last few games, is the body language at end of games. No one looks like they want to be there. The lack of effort and not finishing a game is not a fun thing to watch

We need a couple big guys. We are small.
