Griz/cat Week

A great game, and court, for Jaxon Nap to have a breakout: 17 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 7/8 from the free throw stripe.
Five players in double figures: Vazquez (14), Moody (16), Whitney (15), Sawyer (16) and Nap. Keep rolling. Go Griz.

I hate to agree but it’s a fact. They play better defense there are more aggressive and they play better offense. They move the ball. They don’t stand out there dribbling for 20 seconds trying to drive in and then get a shot blocked or turn it over. Twenty turnovers is ridiculous. Their 2 seniors and their freshmen outplayed our experienced players by a lot. To me with the talent we have and lack of execution reflects on poor coaching.

Yep. And for almost 10 years now, Binford's defensive strategy has been pretty basic: a jump-trap D at the tip of the key just as Montana's point gets set to call/run the play. Today, from the second quarter on, it was even more basic, with the MSU point defender forcing Montana's point toward the sideline or center court. So... Montana backs out & re-sets the same play, which allows the Cat wing defenders to start jumping the passing lanes. Result: turnovers on cross-court passes.
Montana DID start getting the ball to Carmen and Dani at the high post midway through the fourth quarter, but by then they couldn't quite pull even.

Spot on with that Cat defense, that bore results. But one thing is apparent is the ref's discretion to call more fouls. A good number of times the Cat's were all over our players, slap, grab, push, wrap up and wrestle, etc, some of the tie ups were ridiculous, Cat players grabbing at the ball from behind, no foul. Offense, as others have observed, turnovers and ball movement issues. Obviously we have an inconsistent offense game. Gina on point brings the ball down, dribbles in circles, players not getting open enough, screens etc...what does Gina do, drive into tall timber traffic for a good luck shot. What is going on with Mac, poor show shooting, threw the ball away 6 times? Carmen not on, Konig not on, not a winning ticket. Here's the stats: https://gogriz.com/sports/womens-basketball/stats/2023-24/montana-st/boxscore/5667

This is the link to the post game report on gogriz.com.com against NAU that describes Konig's up and down games. Obviously game against MSU was one of her down games. She's a good player on her up games but not so good on her down games.

The announcers on the mtn broadcast were uninspired. Put me to sleep. Should have synced Riley!

What MTN broadcast? It was not on DISH.

With my HD antenna in Billings, the game was on channel 2.2. It shows it as the MTN channel.
 
Lady Griz have lots of talent but have games when they just don''t look good. Loss to Cats was a bad effort all around including being outcoached by Binford. Was made even worse by the fact that Cats are down a bunch of players due to injuries. We should have beat them by 10-20 points. Let's hope for better performances the rest of the year--the talent is there without question
 
Just win. Cats are 1-4 in the last 5, but only trail us by 1 game in the standings. We need to separate from them tonight and let our depth show. Last time Nap and Sawyer combined for 33 points off the bench and the Cats had 2. Let’s complete the sweep! Go Griz!
 
Finally, one of our bench players hits a shot ... Nap hits a 3 just before buzzer so Griz lead by 10 at half
