Iron Mountain Griz&Bo said:Lady Griz can not play against pressure man-to-man. You want evidence you say. Lost to Carla Taylor's pressure "D" in Missoula, struggled mightily against a mediocre Portland State team in Missoula but won. Then ISU switches from zone in Missoula to pressure "D" in Pocatello and Lady Griz fall apart after winning by fifty in Missoula. You x and o guys have answer??? More perimeter screens???? High post passes???
I really don't think it had any thing to do with ISU's D. Montana was forcing up bad shots, off balanced shots and dumb shots. The girls were standing around and not moving to the ball or moving away from the ball to get open. It was like they were waiting for something to happen instead of making something happen. We only scored 6 points in 9:30 minutes in the first part of the second period. There was no transition game at all until we made a run at the 7 minute mark. Then the girls were running to open spots and taking 75% shots and making them. The rest of the game is was like some one told them that isometric exercise was the best thing for them so the nailed there shoes to the floor to get a good work out. 20 minutes a day, three times week. LOL
I am not trying to pick on any one here and I heard that Guardipee has been sick. Most of her shots didn't even get above the rim and she was moving in slow motion. I have seen her play in Missoula and she looked better. I am assuming she is not up to full strength. Conway was really the only one out there hustling she played with a lot of heart to bad it didn’t rub off on the rest of the team, Morales was putting out a good effort to but forced some bad shots.
Well that is my opinion of the game is saw. All I would say to the ISU fans in response was “well at least we have a real basketball stadium”. Actually that was a great place for women’s B-ball in Idaho. I was in the cheap seats and only 15 feet up and 15 feet out from the floor at center court.
