So, do we think Coach Bin may have been a little miffed about the defense last weekend?
Or miffed at #2 for leaving....

The Cat Bench with 24 pts to Sac's 7. Sac's starters have 20 pts. All Cats have scored to add to the very stout defense.


2025 - When 13-2 means 2nd place twice in the State of Montana.

Avenged our only home loss from last season in an emphatic way. Pretty obvious the team had this one marked on the calendar.

In person I thought Natalie looked lost at times on defense. At ine point Addy definitely took her when she realized she had the mismatch. Interesting I didn't see much interaction with her. I watched the handshakes at the end. Bin paused and said something and Nat smiled but it was brief. I think she gave a hug to Taylee but from there on, it was just 5's.

Holding the current player of the week who scored 35 in her last game to 2 tonight!

Vertaag fouled out. Did sac have any quarters where they scored double didgets?

Picton finishes with 2 points. She crashed into the bobcat bench and, with a horrified look on her face, says "I'm so sorry!" What a lovely person.

The ball was out on her as that happened bit the refs gave it to Sac.

Do you think they're motivated to beat Natalie?
Not nearly so much as they are motivated by the loss in Pocatello. Jamison I’m sure wants to show why she’d be The Guard anyway — skying for the rebound and put-back in the paint threw down the Bobcat mittens. 💙💛😺

Anyone else have chronic spontaneous hives from watching that commercial 10 times?!!
Yes. Keep calamine lotion nearby, skip what you can. We’re just a few minutes behind and are sailing through most of the commercials. Almost to catch up.

Not in the long run — just blindsided. No way to make friends. Seven good minutes vs. Ohio State.

Bob Scofield got in a few punches.

Just did a deep dive through the MSU media guide and unless I missed something, the 31 points allowed by MSU tonight ties for the fewest they have ever allowed to a D-1 opponent. The other 31 point game was 11/27/98 against Air Force.


35-34

Ouch! From 3pt SAC was 1 -19 for the game, that's 5.3%. 0 of 11 in the second half

As has been said Picton only had 2 points, only 2 rebounds, no assists, and 4 turn overs.
With a game like that she probably wasn't thrilled to go through the handshake line and just wanted to get out of there.

She had 3 steals too. Though I just remember one of them.

Benthe Versteeg (All-Big Sky 1st Team last year) forced into 8 turnovers and 0 assists.

What an incredible performance from the Bobcats. A penny for Picton’s thoughts!

Yeah I failed to scroll over and catch those. Thanks
Shooting so poorly had to be frustrating and getting a few layups blocked was maybe the worst

Heidi Smith was on crutches tonight. I assume she has had surgery.
