Wow, I just tuned into the PSU broadcast, they are about 5 minutes behind Kris.

Yep, great point Bozone .... you be passive against a press and they instill their will in you .... ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK! Our guards/small lineup is causing them havoc so far it looks like.

Now I may be wrong, but this sounds like the real Bobcats showed up to play tonight. Beye is having a hell of a game already - throwing back blocked shots against Boxley must be fun for him!

Packed house per the PSU announcer. LMAO. Heck we had larger crowds at Bozeman Senior in my days.

You know, even if he does make a couple, I am just not comfortable with Moss shooting 3-pointers. Oh well, I'll take this one!

Bobcats 15
PSHS 6

Yeah, for the JV games! LOL

Just my opinion, but I think we should not play Casey Durham near as much when we are on the road. He obviously is going to get the brunt of the attention from opposing teams' fans, and he clearly has not learned how to deal with it. He loses his cool too easy, as most freshman are prone to do, and he tries to shut up the crowd with big plays, but he presses too hard and ends up making big mistakes.

That and the guy he was guarding is about 2x the size of CD.

We have cooled off.

PSU has a guy 6''6" running the point??? Wow.

I see we have hit one of those famous can't score stretches again. One FT in about 5 minutes????????

BozoneCat · Post by **BozoneCat** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 9:35 pm

Just for the record, that's not a personal attack or a slam on Casey. I doubt very many freshman would be able to handle that sort of situation with the maturity that only age and experience develops. But, I think we should nurture him and let him develop in a role that puts him in situations that let him excel.

I think you are right on with Casey. You can just tell he wants to bury a big 3 and shut everyone up but when he fires an airball or two he goes into the tank. He has done a lot this season that most people didn't expect but really does seem to press a lot. He must really love being in the brick.

Just friggin' perfect. We start out great, up 15-6 and since then they are on a 16-3 run. Sounds like they can't miss right now (except the dunk) and we are struggling for every point. We need a run big time.

BozoneCat · Post by **BozoneCat** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 9:40 pm

Can anyone get a report from somebody at the game? I would like to know if all our players came out of the 16:00 timeout with fresh new goatees, because I believe the real Bobcats sat down and their evil twins took their place. Geez, can we buy a basket?

BozoneCat · Post by **BozoneCat** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 9:43 pm

Ah yes, Mick decided to trick them and put in his old pass-the-ball-around-until-the-shotclock-runs-down-and-whoever-has-the-ball-hucks-it-up-with-a-guy-in-his-face offense. Sweet.

WYCAT · Post by **WYCAT** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 9:43 pm

How in the hell can you give up a 20-3 run? I don't care if you are playing Illinois that is pathetic.

CARDIAC_CATS · Post by **CARDIAC_CATS** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 9:43 pm

We better start bucking up or they are going to run us out the gym.

It's called pathetic rebounding and passive offense that settles for long shots. When the shots aren't falling, good teams understand that you take the ball to the hole and draw fouls. Obviously, this is a lesson that Mick has never bothered to pass along to any of his teams.

Super, Moss just picked up his second foul. Boxley must be blowing these refs, because he is getting every single call so far.

WYCAT · Post by **WYCAT** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 9:48 pm

I hate to say it but couple this 1/2 with the performance we put up at EWU on Thursday and the Cats that most people expected this season seem to be alive and well. I just hate our lack of ability to adapt and change when things go sour. We seem to be just waiting for a chance to roll over and throw in the towel.
