Thank you Jesus for allowing Tinkle to call it like it is (no sugar-coating): (from todays Missoulian)
...they (Griz) continued to struggle with their shooting, hitting on just 36 percent overall, 15 percent from beyond the 3-point line.
"Guys just have to make shots," Tinkle said. "We're getting good looks and when you don't knock them down you're going to continue to get them because they won't guard you out there. We have to have guys show a little more cajones and be Division I basketball players. We have some guys who want to be a part of the deal and be a guy, well then they need to step up and be a guy."
The Griz extended their 33-22 halftime lead to 40-24 on a pair of free throws by Eric Hutchison with 15:30 to play and looked to be on their way to an easy win.
But eight turnovers in a little more than four minutes got the Argos right back in it.
"They were really extending and trapping out of it," Tinkle said of the Great Falls zone defense. "Once they got one or two (steals) our guys got back on their heels and were just scared. We didn't even want the ball. We ran from it and hid. ... It was pretty frustrating to watch."
The Griz figured to struggle without senior center Derek Selvig, who is out with a badly sprained left ankle. Just how much wasn't evident until the Argos came to town.
"I think this is really going to pay dividends for us down the road, finding a way to win," Tinkle said. "I really credit Great Falls because they came in here expecting to win and they played like they expected to win. They made cowards out of some of us and really dominated, especially the last 15 minutes of the game. But I'm really proud of the guys who contributed to us pulling this out. There were some good things done late that will help us in preparation for conference, which we all know is the ultimate deal."
