Cat/Griz

[nevadacat]

Gris had 16 points off turnovers. That is the difference.

[CelticCat]

There’s a reason the Griz have only lost once in Missoula this year. I like the Cats 4 times out of 5 in this matchup, just was a tough road game against a rival. Flush it and move on.

[Catastrophy11]

It was the refs fault the Cats were 1-8 from Three
plus those nasty refs caused 15 turnovers

[Common Cat]

At least we showed a little bit of fight. Still-wouldn't be shocked if both our teams go one and done. I'm not seeing a championship mentality out of either one. A week to figure it out.

[Common Cat]

That's the worst griz team I've ever seen and we still lost. That one is on Sprinkle.

[MSU01]

That sucked, but time to move on.

MSU can clinch at least a tie for the regular season title by beating SUU on Tuesday and an outright title with one more win after that. Get out to the Brick and Go Cats!

[RickRund]

Tonight's version of BOBCAT basketball will not win the tourney.

[thefrank1]

Danny will have them ready for the tournament and we will do well.

UM shot the ball well from deep, we didn’t. We also had quite a few silly turnovers, Griz did a good job protecting the ball. Overall, I liked how we played aggressive, but I thought our spacing was bad. Defensively, we did a poor job closing on shooters. I thought we were the more talented team, but just couldn’t get into an offensive flow. Credit UM’s defense.

Yep. I'm more worried about the women right now. These guys still have the best talent and the most experience in the league. They might not win it all because you never know what will happen in Boise, but they won't be one and done. Count on it!

[justafan]

we won't be one and done but I don't think we have what it takes to win it. Hope I am wrong but I don't think I am.

One takeaway I’ve had and I’ve had for a little while, where are more Kellen Tynes minutes? I know he has offensive limitations, but he looked actually decent in this game in his minutes. I’d be curious about a Tynes/Battle backcourt minutes. Both can handle the ball and you then have bucket getter next to Tynes if offense stalls. It wouldn’t hurt to have X get some minutes off with the tournament coming up when he rarely sees the bench.

I absolutely think we can win it. This was one game. Just need to right the ship with at least two out of three home wins with one being SUU. Then rest up for a game on next Thursday. Just need to win 3 in a row, Which we've shown we can do. A semifinal win over the Griz in the rubber match would be SWEET! We've found way more ways to win than we have to lose this year, and I expect our senior leaders to make it happen.

[MSU01]

Any team that can beat Weber and SUU on the road has what it takes to win the tournament. Yes, they'll need to play better than they did yesterday to do it.

3pt Shooting:
MSU: 1-8
UM: 11-28

Hard to win a game when there's such a disparity from behind the arc.

I don't think there is a dominant team in the league this year. If I had the choice of betting on a hand picked team or the field, I'd choose the field. It's really just going to be a matter of who gets hot. I think we definitely have as good of a chance as anyone else in the league.

Frustrating game, but maybe the most frustrating part was ESPNU. I fortunately have ESPNNEWS so I was able to watch the first part of the game, but it's just a terrible production. They did worse than SWX would do. We maybe saw 3 replays the whole game, and the announcers weren't even there in the arena. I like the ESPN situation we have currently, but in basketball I hope we never have to watch another game like this one. And at one point in the 1st half there was about a 5 minute commercial break for me. I looked on my phone at the gamecast on the ESPN app and the game was going on. When it finally came back from commercial it was a couple minutes behind. Don't know if anybody else had that experience...?

Yeah it was really bad. SWX is a much better production. Why can't ESPN just pick up that feed? These guys knew very little about the players or the history of this game, Especially from an MSU perspective.
