Our two most talented perimeter players, Agbonkpolo and Goracke are deep in the doghouse-hope they get it figured out soon. Great to see Patterson hit that go ahead three-it was the same shot he missed on Thursday for the win. Logie didn't forget to put Walker in on offense for that critical offensive possession under a minute. For all his flaws-he's where we go to get points. Platooning Nduka on defense worked good in this one. Trent McLaughlin almost single handedly beat us in the second half. He's a good player. Much needed win-now back on the road.

I think it’s far past time for Logie to change up the starting lineup. Force the “new guys” to watch what “the system” is supposed to look like from the tip.
Priebe just said the quiet part out loud!!
As did SACCAT and Kyler for ESPN+
Honest question (Because LOTS of things are said) what was they quiet part...

I neglected to mention, but others did, that Bryce Zephir, was back from injury and a huge factor in the win. Good defender and he can back down the opposing point guard into the paint. He also hit a huge three. If we had him on Thursday-who knows? He makes us a just a little bit better for sure.

BIG WIN for Men tonight. You could tell on the 2nd half that some players just weren't going to let this one go.
1) Bryce played amazing in the 2nd half, you could see his confidence rise.
2) Player of the game (in my opinion) was Sam. His defense was KEY against Tout... Honorable mention was Chika. He really battles when in.
3) They FAN side of me will say, I love watching Mglaughlin for NAU lose
4) IF i had a body like Towt, I would never wear a shirt a day in my life.

That a lineup change could be the change that’s needed. Great game call BTW!

1. Chica was noticeably limping in the second half. Great fight in that guy.
2. Now that Bryce is mostly recovered from his injury, we have a real point guard.
3. Sam is the emotional and physical leader of this team. Great performance tonight.
4. Brandon showed Great determination on a number of plays and wouldn't quit.
5. I was worried when they scored the first 16 points.
The best is yet to come.

On a snowy night and an 0-3 big sky start, I have to again tip my hat to the Bobcat faithful for turning out tonight. Almost 3000.

Clearly me getting frustrated and turning off the game was exactly what they needed. Interesting stat, MSU and UM both have a total point differential of -6 through their first four conference games even though MSU is two games back in the standings. UNC made a big statement today!
They drive me crazy, and I'm too old for these fits of anger and disappointment...so I wait until the games are over and check the score, and if we win I watch it. Makes it much healthier watching Bobcat Basketball!
Same with Griz games...if they win by 6 or more I don't bother. If they lose or win under 6 I might watch it.

How long as Bryce been injured ? He played almost no minutes in the first 15 gsmes.
he should have been out there all along
His ability to penetrate and score was the difference.

First time was against Northwestern or Wisconsin I think. had good first half got hit in head and missed several games. Then played 1 or 2, then out again.

Sam is WAY underrated as a passer.

Last year’s dudes + Zephir. I’m still leary of Agbonkpolo, although he looked a little more willing to think about going in after a rebound. Looked like they discovered the game of basketball again. Nice win. I actually look forward to this gang playing again this week.

One thing we know about the Bobcats and Coach Logie is that they have been able to bounce back from adversity to be playing their best basketball at the end of the season! To me the Big Sky seems wide open this year, UNC looks good right now but they tend to disappoint when it comes to the conference tournament. Here's hoping they can get back to playing more like the team that gave Wisconsin a pretty good game and then came within a point of taking down Northwestern a couple weeks later.
