The Bobcat Nation

New starters! Let's go boys! Lecholat and Zephir are new starters. (Sorry for thread title.. darn autocorrect)

Loving the hustle!

“Brandon Walker couldn’t jump over a small town’s phone book”

Cravens at it again.

We're 6-12, they're 7-11. Both thought they'd be a lot better.
MSU plagued with silly, poor, bad fundamental turnovers.
Cravens definitely homering for Weber State

Currently 2-6 from the charity stripe.

It’s your standard slugfest when the 2 cat teams come together. MSU’s offense was really solid to start the game with the new starters. Shot selection continues to be somewhat questionable at times and missed layups are still a thing. Brandon Walker continues to be a terrible free throw shooter.
Really liking the way MSU is handling the 2 bigs for Weber. I was a little worried about those 2 just taking over the show. Instead MSU’s “bigs” have put both of them in foul trouble.

In other news, the griz were up 8 at Idaho State at halftime. Final score was ISU 86-um 62. Cat-griz in Missoula could be interesting-in the same way slamming your hand in car door is interesting.

Brilliant second half. Wins at Weber are so rare. Hard to believe this team got one. Great job. Pat McMahon didn't start for the first time this season-had his best game, maybe ever as a Bobcat. Jed Miller, super clutch from free throw line. Zephir with a dagger three pointer. Maybe this will get us going.

Closed a close game out on the road! Alright!

Much better showing from this Cats team. Jed needs to teach Walker how to shoot free throws.

In all seriousness though the offense, as a whole, looked as good as it has been since early in the year. Have to think a new starting lineup helps immensely here. Saw some signs of life from Patrick which is a great sight! He’s such a dynamic player when he drives and can get into the low post. Big minutes from Jed and is nails from the stripe.

I’ve been saying it all year and Jed reiterated it with his post game interview. When the offense is cooking they’re the best team in the conference (by a long shot I might add). This is exactly the type of win this team needs and hopefully it can springboard into something special down the stretch!

Loved it! Some good ball and great energy tonight. Lets get another one Monday!

Great team win. Don't count this team out quite yet!

Jed Miller with a career high 20 points and 12-12 from the line handles the post game interview like a pro!

Darned good win for the CATS.

They were out scored 50-18 in the second half. That is a true tanking.

MSU score margins in conference games: -5, -5, -1, +5, -3, +9 for a total score differential of exactly 0.

UM: +11, +2, +5, -24, +4, -24 for a total score differential of -26.

I love our chances of pulling off the upset next Saturday!

UM opened the second half on the wrong side of a 22-2 run. Ouch.

So at this point last season our guys were 6-9 on the year and lost by 22 points to Weber State. Then we lost by 10 to the griz at HOME. We have lost some close games this year. I liked the looks on our guys faces last night. I'm really hopeful we can get things turned around like we did last year.
