6900 in attendance!

they need to take the seats outta the lower level. If those old f***[*] don't like it, give your seat to someone who will stand the whole game and yell. Em-fucking-barrassing that Tinkle has to gesture for the crowd to stand up in that late game situation. Students are starting to bring it, they are responding to the Tink meister, give them the courtside back, do something with the dead f***[*] in there now. AGE LIMIT on courtside seats, or standing timed test with lung capacity measurements....

Maybe five defensive possesions with the crowd stading tonight...

Other that that, great crowd.... :roll:

Milt nailed it!

The crowd in the lower level made it look like an AARP Convention. I say in the morning they send in a crew with pneumatic impact wrenches and remove the seats. I watched in disbelief as the crowd sat drooling and lifeless when the Griz went on a run.

Milt had a couple too many g&t's before and after the game last night....looks like he ranted for a bit...but Milt is still right.

Griz may have been out-rebounded, but we had 13 offensive rebounds, according to UNC's head coach. He said that was the difference.

As a matter of fact, I made my original statement based on what must have been preliminary stats: The final game stats now posted show the Griz won the rebound battle 38-33. The coach may have considered the Griz's 13 offensive rebounds "the difference," but the final stats say UNC had 14 ... so I'm not sure what the coach meant.

He said "you can't give up 13 offensive rebounds to Montana on their home floor and expect to win. That was the difference."

Very good. I see where he's coming from, and it makes sense.

Of course, it did not help that his team shot just 37% from 2-pt range (the Griz shot almost 47%), and about 19% on treys (Griz a not-so-hot 24%). They also had a dozen turn-overs. I'd say some pretty good D had a lot to do with the final result.
