Griz odds of making the tournament

[Lou]

Haven't watched the Griz much this year. Just wondering what everyone thought their chances would be this year.

I gave 'em 10 to 1. I think they have a decent shot at it because the conference tourney is what it's all about. Two years ago, we had somewhat of a down regular season, but we won the BSC tourney, and went dancin'.

 

[CDAGRIZ]

You know, I was just cheking out the schedule, and the Griz have an odd stretch coming up of home games in a row; and then away games in a row. This is definitely good for getting in a rhythm @ home, but that road stretch will be tough. I bet the beginning of conference play will be very a welcome return to normal.

Somebody thinks that the Griz are 1 to 1 to make the tournament. That sounds like some confidence. I wonder if they would be willing to wager some egriz bucks on that?

NCAA tourney 45%

Big Sky Tourney 85%

Sorry should have been more clear. I was talking about the NCAA tournament when I started the thread.

What about this: What are the Griz's chances of making the NCAA Tourney, given that they make the Big Sky Tourney. Oh, I know it's way too early, but some guesses would be fun!

I say if they make it to the Big Sky tourney they have about a 50-50 chance of making it to the NCAA tourney. Either they would or they wouldn't.

 

[CDAGRIZ]

Ok, point taken.

Griz making the tourney. There is just tooo much talent on this team to choke. They will hopefully get it together and find a way to win like they have over the past two years!!!

12 hours till tip off!!!

My guess if 5 to 1. I think if the Griz can capitalize at home, they have a great chance of making the conference tournament. Then, the NCAA's.

I think that the Griz's chances are quite good if they continue to
improve. Against BSU they showed flashes of using the Hasquet-
Strait-chavez combo. Chavez needs to play more-he can shoot and
he rebounds. The coaches need to mature as a staff; last yr
larry would thorw a press on the opposition to get 3-4 quick buckets; he also ran the baseball pass from Strait to Virgil in a key
situation. We need to quit walking the ball up the floor; particularly
when we are behind.
I haven't seen Northern Arizona this year and Portland State
could be a sleeper in the tournamnt with Bone as a coach. EWU
is always tough-we have to go box and one with stuckey and above all find a 3ball shooter.
