Bin's daughter is being recruited for volleyball.
Look at the wins against Colorado and UNLV.
Thought so too, how unlucky can you get..a flu bug going through the team, takes out lead players, at a time when posed with playing your best! I'm also convinced some of the players on court were also stricken. What I did see was at least a double down on tempo that compared to the season was near night/day. Players on court showed some better flashes of athleticism, to be developed. Biggest take away, so why did this team wait this long to get the fire going? It's obvious players have capacity for up tempo play, versus a lot of games seemed much less apt to commit. All accolades for the Cat's one hell of a team and renown coach. But I gotta ask why coach up a team for full press, pile driving aggressive play, 20 pts ahead, new legs rotation keeping that going. We tore into them as well, a good sight. Cat's can be so proud of themselves, not just a win at tourney time, but a beatdown of a team you've commandingly beat twice in conference, Halleluiah full throttle on, over a team clearly beaten, without full staff, some sickened not up to full capacity...wow really showed those Griz! There's a team out there, waiting for those Cat's in the higher echelons of D1, what goes around comes around!

In the 3 games this season between these two teams, the Cats lead after the 1st quarter
For sure, Cat's a very good team, and well coached. LG lot's of needs this season. Wish the best for the Cat's they deserve it, including getting it handed to them for 40 min by a bigger, faster, better team, puts on a 20 plus margin stomp!
So, because the Cats have about 9 players that would start for most/ every other Big Sky team, and have no true let down off the bench, AND play an aggressive style of play, they deserve to get beat by a 20+ margin against a "better team"? That is what you want the Big Sky Rep in the NCAA tourney to get (no matter who comes out of the Big Sky)?
Interesting re the pay equal to MSU mens' coach. My guess is credit to Dr. Cruzado for recognizing the significance of that figure, exactly, and seeing it as a number that both retains Coach Binford AND sends clear message coming right from the top about the value of MSU Women's Basketball, to everyone.
This is 100% correct. Every team, directed by every coach, has the right to play their game for 40 minutes. They even have the right to deliver a bit of trash talk if they so desire.
No just the Cat's, another team with a strategy such as theirs...power on for the full 40, because they can run up the score even when it's obvious Cat's have lost the game. Just not a fan, or favor any teams full on blast out of opponents, because they can and will, for what ever reason.
I don’t know about “deserve”, but Harris is going to get 3 years regardless because that is the contract that he signed. That said, if this program doesn’t see some major growth next season, the voices for change are going to become extremely loud.
The Cats gave up a 20 pt lead during a game during the season they let up on the press. They put it back on and won. So there's a reason it stays going.
What is compelling, the Cat's likely had the intel prior to the game, key LG players out and by extension a reasonable conclusion that players on board were impacted too. So LG a bottom team further impacted by illness and that bench players were the Cat's main contenders. Bottom line, LG posed a low level of threat from the get go. As the game went on there was little doubt, LG were about to, or even could form a "Cinderella" defeat. Ok, so let's just pour in on the LG, with margins of 20 pts, the whole 40 min. Even if the LG themselves performed that way opposed to a lessor team, I would not be impressed.
If the Cats were "Pouring it on" why did they only score 4 more points than the griz in the final 3 quarters total.
MSU lost to Idaho...end of story!
They did indeed, by 3
