GRIZ/EWU championship game thread

[stubbins]

What game were you watching? Gregory did that alot this year. Dribble amongst the bigs with no answer. His out of control play at times was probably his only weakness

Maybe, but that did not cost the Griz tonight

Agreed, but you depend on your team leaders to put the team in the best position to succeed. "I think" he failed there. He looked like he was pressing all game. Hope he has a huge NIT!

For the most part, Gregory has not shot very well since the Idaho game...but that is not what lost the game. It was holding the ball the entire shot clock from about the 6 minute mark until about the 3 minute mark and having someone have to put up a crappy shot instead of being aggressive to the hoop. After that it was too late, all the momentum for EWU...have to step on a good team's throat when you have them down...Griz let them back up.

This exactly correct...got conservative with the game plan 3 minutes too soon. Crowd knew it and got nervous when saw what was happening...

Then why point it out?

Just noting that people should expect the trolls...I am actually surprised there are not more....wait, I forgot that most schools only have 2-3 fans

So you're one of the 2-3 GRIZ fans? There may be one or two more than that.

I think you should go hang with your crush Alpha...go support your man

LOL! As if you know what being a man is. Fuqing funny.

This is my last eGriz post for the year but I have to tell you, "he" IS a she, and, badly in need therapy or Motrin. Can't decide which, but certainly not likeable.

this "he" IS a "he" and for certain more "he" than you...and also this "he" really doesn't care if you like "him" or not

Does it matter? At least Alphas not a closet ewu fan. "Now go make some noise..." Fuqing disgusting.

You're such a douche...I am no more an EWU fan than you are...

 

[Potomac Griz]

There are seriously cat fans here trolling about the Griz losing a very tough fought game vs Eastern in the championship of the Big Sky Tournament? Really!?

You guys had 6 D1 wins this season... 6...

You've lost what...10 in a row to the Griz now in Basketball?

You haven't had a winning season against D1 opponents since the 2001-2002 season.

You haven't had a 20+ win season since 2001-2002.

You haven't been to the NCAA Tournament since 1996.

You haven't even been to the NIT, CBI or CIT since 2001 after you guys blew it at home against the Griz in the conference tournament (Remember Dan Trammel?)

Sorry, Cat fans talking smack on eGriz about basketball makes about as much sense as FT Lewis State fans talking smack on the Griz FB forums.

 

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Congrats to ewoo. They were the better team tonight. Now go make some noise in the big dance.

Fuq thàt. I hope they get curb stomped.

It is statements like these that have every troll from other BSC schools on egriz every time the Griz lose...

Oh gawd. Please keep sucking that ewho dik like a $10 street whore. Need a tissue you big b1tch? Alpha is so right about 99.99 % of you clingers.

Damn right he is

 

[CFallsGriz]

It will be fun to watch ewoo get ass-raped by whomever they draw. Selection Sunday is going to be Selection Funday!!! I'm not one of these guys that roots for the conference champ "just cuz." UM was picked to finish at the bottom, far exceeded expectations, hosted the tourney, and made a pre-season favorite look like chumps with their "nation leading scorer" and all that with a new coach.

GRIZ are back, on the hardwood AND turf, after more adversity than any other school in this shitty conference could ever handle. Amazing season for this new coach. We will be hitting the jets in the forseeable future, while the rest of the wannabes look on. After a home loss, I am actually optimistic.

This school is on the up-and-up, in more ways than one. Bye-bye, Big Sky...bank on it...

And what would the day be like if it were the Griz?

Instead of asking your cursory rhetorical questions, why not just say what you actually think?

Just curious...

I guess "reading between the lines" is outside of your "box."

I hope everyone else was able to extrapolate.

Don't worry grizindabox, I got you:

Okay, I just got home to Kalispell from the game. I have not read 1 post yet. I want to congratulate EWU 1st before getting upset at some of the comments I am sure I will be reading here. With the guard tandem of Harvey and Brandon, and many outside threats, they are capable of an upset.

With that said, I absolutely loved the atmosphere tonight. The place was damn full and loud. Again, I sat in GA to take in the environment to its fullest. I loved how loud it was and I had nobody bitching at me to sit down. I was proud of the students tonight. It was nice to see the Lady GRIZ there as well. I congratulated them and wished them luck in the NCAA tournament. They were very gracious and appreciative the support.

As for the game, the run the GRIZ put on EWU in the 2nd half was damn impressive. Unfortunately, the run EWU put on in the last 6 minutes was much bigger and was the difference in the game. The GRIZ absolutely could not stop Brandon and Harvey in the last 6 minutes. They took the ball at the GRIZ defense every which way possible. Harvey showed why he is the best scorer in the conference. He can create shots well with his quick release and off balance variety of shots. Brandon, again showed, he is the most under rated player in the conference. He is a much better player than honorable mention all conference. He is one of the top 10 players in the conference.

I am sure I will be reading about the officiating, before I let that influence me. I feel the officiating was inconsistent on both sides, and really did not make a difference in the outcome. EWU's guard tandem dominated that game in clutch time. I was so pissed they were slicing and dicing our defense at ease. The only guard we had up to the task to compete with them was Gregory. Dunn, Bradshaw, Gfeller were not even close to Brandon and Harvey in this one. Unfortunately Gregory ran out of gas from all the minutes he has played. Yet, he was still fighting as hard as ever and doing everything he could to will the team to a victory. All our guards need to spend the offseason improving their overall games, especially ball handling, and creating for others.

Fortunately, Breunig and Weisner were awesome in this game. Breunig was outright dominating on the boards and scoring. Weisner played his ass off and delivered big shot after big shot to build the lead, like Gregory, he was doing everything he could to win. Credit EWU, they took away our hot scorers in their game ending stretch. They also made sure Dunn and Gfeller would not be factors in this game. They absolutely shut them down. Speaking of Gfeller, has anyone filed a missing player report? This tournament showed exactly whey he needs to work on his ball handling to become more of an offensive threat than just a 3 point bomber.

Granted, the loss sucks and it hurts for me. I pray this team makes a statement in the NIT. I also hope the program will build on the tournament atmosphere this week. Students, please return in high volume next season. A rowdy student section makes Dahlberg one of the best venues in the nation. I cannot compliment and applaud the students enough. That atmosphere reminded me a lot of "THE ZOO".

I hope some of the students will comment about this week's experience.
Go GRIZ, let's get it done at the NIT!!!!!

 

[Buttegrizzle]

Well said 'Rule. I agree with all. I was very moved to see that student section. Last time it looked like that was '91 during Blaine's world. Keep it up kids and you will see some great basketball in Dahlberg. Love TD's energy. Rock the NIT.

 

[EverettGriz]

Hi there. I'm here to check in with EverettGriz, he asked me to come back tonight after the Griz won when I said they wouldn't.

What now again?

I'd double check your math.

Cat fans and a hornet fan come to egriz to gloat about a Griz loss. The only thing more pathetic and sad than EWU being kings of the conference is fans of the other teams in our conference. Think Boise and CSU fans are on the SDSU fan board crowing about their loss to Wyo?

:clap:

Instant POY Nomination.

That so perfectly describes the bsc that nothing can be added.

Congrats to EWU. You deserved it. Next season we will kick your asses.

No he's a NDSU fan, still a world class d-bag

 

[LongTimeCatFan]

Touche.

Good one. Did you copy and paste that off the locker rooms in Brick Breeden? I heard they had to put those up in EVERY locker room except the rodeo and ski lockers.

You forgot track



But no, I borrowed it from Bob Hauck

Don’t worry, the feeling is mutual.

For all the bitching and moaning everett did about the BSC, it was a damn good and entertaining year of BSC hoops. I don’t recall a year that ever had this many quality teams battling it out for the regular season title and then again in the BSCT. Hopefully it stays this way for a long time.

The BSC might send 4 teams to post season play. EWU has a legit shot at pulling an upset in the NCAAT depending on the matchup; and I expect the Griz to have a good showing in the NIT. Good luck.

Dont be a douche nozzle. Harvey is the real deal, he took that team and that game and made it his. Just like AJ and just like Will, he took over. For years people have bitched about the quality of play in the BSC and said we need out if we are ever going to go any where. Well, we just had one of the best finishes in recent conference history. With two weeks to go there were four teams with a legit shot of winning the conference. With a week to go it was still in the air. harvey is a great player, sac state has players - too bad they dont have a facility. ewoo has a real shot at an upset and making noise. their win at Indiana was not a fluke. We have a chance to make some noise in the NIT. TD took a team picked to finish 8th and made us believers, he has reignited the Zoo, we have a stable of studs returning and the future looks awesome for the Griz. You dont like it, leave and dont let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.
