Let’s be honest. This rivals the 16 straight football game wins.

Bobcats won ONCE in the last decade and are 0-2 this decade. Domination, plain and simple.

Even our hippies think they stink!

Our FT shooting is worse than a high school girls team. Let that sink in. How can we be so ducking bad at a free throws. That’s going to cost us a game. 57% tonight. Sayeed was 14%. Ugh.

The Griz will have to play better than this in the next three games. Right now, North Colorado is hitting on all cylinders and Radebeigh (?) might just be POY in the Big Sky. It is going to be fun for the next month in the Big Sky and the Tournament in Boise can go to any of 6 teams.

Sayeed is a 75% FT shooter. Not sure what was the deal tonight....honestly, it’s been a non-issue for most of the year. Today was an anomaly....I believe.

Team is 73% for the year, 2nd in the league and better than average overall. Anomaly tonight, 48%. The "that's going to cost us a game" meme is parroted by every fan base every year. :lol: Hasn't yet for the Griz this year, though Arizona lost to Oregon tonight when a guy missed 2 when they were down by 1 with a second left.

Bozeman Chronicle
BOZEMAN — Sayeed Pridgett intercepted Harald Frey’s pass, and the two seniors raced back down to the other end of the court. As Frey set up to take a charge, Pridgett stepped around him. The acrobatic play resulted in another Montana layup.

In a game Montana State’s offense struggled mightily, the Bobcats couldn’t afford the giveaways. They came as close as three points with 14 minutes to go, but Pridgett’s layup capped seven straight UM points and bumped the Grizzlies’ lead to double digits with nine minutes to play. MSU’s offense finally reappeared in the closing minutes, but by then it was too late to overcome the damage Pridgett already inflicted.

“Defense wins games,” UM head coach Travis DeCuire said in his opening statement to begin his press conference. The Grizzlies responded to each Bobcat punch and punched back in their 59-54 win Saturday night at Worthington Arena. UM has now won 19 of the last 20 match-ups between the two teams.

MSU (14-13, 8-8 Big Sky) dropped its second straight game after surging with five wins in seven contests. With five regular season games left, the Bobcats are tied for fifth in the standings and find themselves in a heated battle for a first-round bye at the conference tournament. Montana, meanwhile, again gave MSU a first-hand perspective of how top-notch teams play. The Grizzlies have won the league title the past two years and are in the driver’s seat to win another. The loss leaves the Bobcats in a position they’ve become familiar with. “We’re not as physical as they are,” Sprinkle said. “We need to get to that point to be as good as they are defensively.”

Frey battled an injured left ankle and scored a team-high 18 points, but 11 of those came in the final three and a half minutes. He and Amin Adamu, who scored 12 points, missed nine shots apiece. The Bobcats shot 35% from the field, their fourth-worst shooting game of the season, and committed 17 turnovers. Finding contributors outside of Frey has been among the decisive factors of the season. The Bobcats have emphasized others emerging, but they never found a groove to score consistently.
