Griz/Cat Hoops game thread

[Grizbacker1]

The key to this team is Hasquet -- I watch almost every game, in shock, that they DON'T build any offense around him. Whatever he gets, he gets on his own - for the most part. He should be getting 20-25 shots a game. I'm pretty sure Brad Huse probably walked to the locker room tonight thinking, "I'm sure glad they didn't get the ball to Hasquet more". When is Tinkle going to demand that the ball goes thru him. For those of you that still think the ball needs to go in to Strait - I think you're sadly mistaken. Watch the 2nd half of this game again. He just can't score when he has a big guy on him. He can play a role, and Jordan will find him for plenty of bunnies, but he can't be the focus. It seems like a lot of big guys this year are almost laughing and inviting the ball into him so they can swat it back out of there.

Rundles has gone 180 degrees from last year. When he's at the point, the ball comes to a complete standstill. He puts up a ton of bad shots and turns the ball over way too much. He appears to have no idea that Hasquet is the key to his offense.

I have know idea why Martin has fallen out of favor. He was good enough to CARRY us through the BSC tourney as a FROSH but Tinks (and Larry) don't think he deserves to start anymore? Give me a break. He's a hell of a lot better for this offense than Cam is. People rag on his defense, but it is better than Cam's as well.

Watching this team is torture! They have no focus on offense. Tinks has no control over these guys and I constantly find myself wondering, "why do we have this combination on the floor?"

God, I hope it gets better.

Strait can't score with a big man on him????? He lit Nick Fazekas up in the NCAA and Fazekas is 6' 11" and in the NBA. I do agree Hasquet needs more shots but there is no reason he can't get some of those looks from Strait dishing it to him, and they most certainly should be running some set plays to free Jordo up. I agree with most of your post, but saying Strait cant play against bigger guys is silly. I saw him score against guys that were over 300 pounds. Did you watch the UOP or Santa Clara games??

We simply don't have good guard play right now...Worth a shot to go big-

Nothing else seems to work...

I hate to bring it up again, but the loss of Sean Watson is pretty glaring right now.

I disagree. If Rundles plays like he did last year the emergence of Stads and CET makes a Strait, Squet, Stads, Rundles and CET lineup very formidable and possibly the best in the conference.

I have said it one hundred times, listen up fellas, Rundles will take this team no-where...very quickly. Maybe...Maybe in a couple years when he can gain some composure.

If Rundles plays like he can, this team is phenomenal. Right now, things aren't going. I think the team goes as he does.

It isn't Rundles ability, it is his attitude. I say bench him until he plays the game according to the gameplan. :twocents:

If you want some good comedy relief after the cats kicking Griz butt, go over and read some posts on BN, some of them are already talking about hosting the BSC tourney and what seed they will get in the NCAA's. Now that is funny! :laugh:

 

[BelierPeaux]

What was wrong with Quale, did I miss something?

He wasn't on the court, that's what was wrong with him. Honestly, this was the first time I was able to see the Griz live and after reading the boards about the team's problems, every one of them is accurate. I have no idea what was going on there. Movement is a real problem, there was so much standing around I was disgusted. Rundles dribbled the ball in one corner for 15 to 20 seconds before the ball moved out. Frankly I have no idea why Rundles played as much as he did, he was awful tonight and should be coming off the bench in my opinion. I would love to see more Qvale. The few minutes he was in he had a few mental mistakes but he was holding his own in the middle. I am VERY impressed with his stature. I didn't realize he had as much meat on his frame as he does. I expected a skinnier guy out there.

Can anyone explain to me why we didn't go big? We obviously couldn't handle the Cat's speed and that created huge holes in the middle, they were getting easy buckets left and right in the second half. Why not get some more beef in the middle and clog the lane? I can only look at the coaches for the second half collapse, wtf were they doing not trying to adjust to what the Cat's were doing? Did anyone else notice the timeout with about 5 minutes left were the players were sitting and the coaches were in their own huddle off to the side? I think that sums up the problems the griz have right now, the players and the coaches aren't even on the same planet let alone the same page. They were flat out awful tonight. At least they got their free throw shooting on track in the second half, that was about the only bright spot.

Fazekas was 2 years ago - it doesn't seem to happen much anymore. Don't get me wrong, I like Strait, I just don't think he can be the focus. These days, he really only seems to score when he gets guys by surprise. When he's got a guy on his back and the ball goes Strait in there, he doesn't seem to have much success anymore. It is like opposing teams have figured him out - don't leave your feet and block his shot flat-footed. As far as him "dishing", he doesn't seem to do that very much at all (never has). I think when he FINALLY gets it in there, he feels like he better put it up or he might not see it again for a few trips. Hasquet is a much better passer when he gets it in the post.

I definitely think we need the two of them to be the focus (down low) for this team to succeed, but it HAS to be Hasquet first, Strait second. I think it will work better that way - and Strait will have much more success than he is having now.

I didn't see those games, but I've seen plenty. I think Huse knows how easy it is to stop Strait and I'm sure that info was shared with his big man tonight.

Uh, have you taken a look at Strait's shooting percentage, and the number of touches he gets? He is also being doubled a LOT. I thought you said you watched all the games, sure doesn't seem like it if you don't know that.

Going into the game tonight Strait was 63-103 from the field for .612 percent, and you don't think he is doing much with it?? Hasquet is 89-172 or .465 percent, which is not bad either, By the way, Jordan only has 13 more assists on the season than Strait.

That's right on. I noticed he would get the ball and just glazed over, like he thought he would just carry the team there and all he was throwing up were bricks. Awful.

I said I've seen plenty. I'm not doubting his shooting percentage - hell Spurgetis has a good one as well - I'm just saying that if we focus offense around him as a primary choice, we are not going to beat many good teams.

It seems like we focus a lot on trying to get it in there, and when he has a good big guy on him, he can't convert. Meanwhile, we have a BIGGER guy that is a threat from EVERYWHERE on the floor that doesn't seem to have any offense built around him. If I'm the OTHER team, I'm praying that we continue to feed it into Strait. :twocents:

If you watched the 1st half, the reason we got the lead was because we went inside. that freed up the perimeter guys who knocked a couple down. YOu are entitled to your opinion, but my money is on a .612 percent shooter getting more than 8-10 shots a game.

I agree with that, but I think our PRIMARY focus should be exploiting the mismatch that Hasquet presents. The way he sees the floor, I would bet that Strait's percentage and ppg both increase.

I would also like to see Andrew kick it back out when he finds himself in a uncomfortable position or on the wrong side of the hoop. We don't seem to get nearly as much of that "in and out" action as the teams we are playing. We have a couple guys that shoot the lights out when they catch the ball facing the hoop.

 

[GrizWhiz]

Does anyone know why Staudacher did not play much in the first half. Also, he hit a couple of 3s to start the second half and then was pulled for most of the rest of the half. The Griz really suffered defensively when Martin entered the game. His shot selection tonight also left much to be desired as it did with Rundles. Our interior help defense was not much either. This Griz team is hurting at the guard/small forward positions. We are not the talent juggernaut that some on this board seem to believe we are. In terms of team quickness, we are below average, and that means a lot in basketball. Quickness creates shot opportunities and as was evident tonight, and for much of the season, this team really struggles to get good shots. Contrast our success in this area with what you saw from the cats. The loss of JC recruits Phillips and Watson has left some huge holes. You recruit JC players to address immediate needs. These needs were real and the loss of these 2 guys has had a significant adverse effect. I think things will significantly improve next year with the additions of McGillis and Taylor. Until then, I wonder if playing Graves more would not help in a quickness (i.e. penetration) and defensive sense. As things stand, I think the rest of this season is going to be a struggle. :twocents:

He got in foul trouble early in the 1st half so he went to the bench, and he picked up his 3rd foul right after hitting the 2nd 3 to start the second half. He plays aggresive D and was getting whistled for them.

 

[WashGriz]

Well I still believe the Griz can do it and we will beat the cats
at home. Taylor was just on fire. Stuads getting in foul trouble
REALLY hurt. When he sat..we went from 6 up to 6 down in
no time flat.

The answer is not pounding it inside OR jacking threes..it is
inside out..BOTH.

I think Tinkle is stuck in the 80's offense he ran. It is differnt
game now..run some plays for threes (stauds) AND run some
plays inside, backdoor cuts etc..GET some motion !!

I have to seen much of McGillis...Is he the savior for next year?
Martin (i can not stand his D) and we will miss Andrew..but
Qvale could make up for it. I have been impressed with Studachers
improvement this year.

The season is not lost...we will still be ok. someone has to step up
though ..who will it be?

 

[PlayerRep]

UM had a 1 point lead at the half and started to look like they were going to take control in the second half, when they had a 6 point lead. At about 14 or 13 minutes, MSU started making a few plays and UM starting not making plays, and taking a few bad shots. The momentum changed. Taylor, who scored 34, played well and then took over the game.

UM shot 27% in the second half and 39% for the game, after shootng 50% in the first half. MSU 62.5% in the second half and 54% for the game.

Hasquett, Rundles and Martin didn't have good shooting nights. Strait was 5-12.

UM was out-rebounded 33-26. MSU was 19-26 from the line. UM was 9-11 from the line.

UM had 10 assists and 9 turnovers, one more each than MSU. Martin had 3 assists.

I think Staudacher and Strait had to sit a bit, due to minor foul problems, in both halves for Staudacher. I thought the MSU line up was sometimes more physical and bigger than the UM line up, sometimes just being bigger at the guards. This hurt a few times.

My biggest comment/criticism was that I thought UM took too many shots with no one in rebounding position, especially in the second half. Also, when UM started to get a nice lead and be playing well, instead of turning it up a notch, we let it slip away over a 4 or so minute stretch.

The Griz will beat the Cats in Missoula.

I agree with the "in and out". I also think that Cam (and ET) hold the ball out top too much. We need to get some ball movement so Stauds and Martin (and occasionally Hasquet) can spot up for OPEN threes. I think the problem is that these guys get a little frustrated when the don't get a look for 10 minutes and end up forcing a shot that they probably shouldn't. It won't happen if the ball doesn't come back OUT from the post every once in awhile.

Our offense doesn't even look like an offense and I don't think we've run an effective out of bounds play on our end of the court in over a year.

McGillis plays hard, like Hasquet, and Taylor, the transfer from EWU was second to Rundles in Freshman of the Year voting. I think next years Griz will be way better. I think they should look at the films on how they used to free up Lake and Warhank for 3's all the time. I think Tinks should put together a DVD for Cam on how he played last season and tell him to watch it every day before he dresses for practice. He needs to get back to playing like that.

 

[BelierPeaux]

I think it's a bit concerning that there is a lot of mention of "next year" already. But, with the way we played tonight, maybe that is accurate talk.

Only because someone brought up the players sitting on the sidelines. I am not quitting on the season.
