ARE YOU KIDDING ME WILL? go to the goddamn basket.

OT is not what we want with both Will and BQ with 4 fouls each.

 

[Mavman]

first hoop in ot might win this thing lol. both teams seem pretty uptight in ot.

Update:
Just inside a minute left to play. USF at the line shooting 2, up 1. 48-47.

 

[Mavman]

will ft's be the griz downfall?

 

[mtgrizrule]

Dumb foul, good shooter going to the FT line.

 

[GMBand37]

Selvig goes 1/2 from the line with the chance to tie. Griz down 1 with a bad USF FT shooter going to the line with the double bonus.

Pissed that game away...

Once again, we bomb 3s and can't shoot free throws-

 

[mtgrizrule]

Christ sakes, it is a shame to have the best defense we have had in years yet still lose to the likes of USF and Portland. Can we buy an offense?

 

[GMBand37]

Griz have chance to tie down 2. ANOTHER BAD POSSESSION!!!

What a bad game to watch. This team HAS to figure out their offense. Shooting from the perimeter is not a game plan. I don't care how they decide to run it but it has to be changed.

 

[mtgrizrule]

Easy summary on this game. GRIZ FT shooting and inconsisten offense causes us another game. The only bright side is Autry got meaningful minutes, and did well, especially defensively.

fock me sideways....thats sucked :evil:

Griz free throw shooting will be the downfall all year, and they will lose more games because of it

 

[Bozgriz]

OK, can someone explain to me why we continue to suck at FT shooting? This season we are at a balmy 64%...last year (and the season before) we were at 72% but much, much worse when you back out AJs 87%. This costs us at least two games per season and it doesn't need to-

Griz free throw shooting will be the downfall all year, and they will lose more games because of it

If you are going to be a defensive minded team, that usually leads to closer games, which makes free throw shooting crucial. Better step it up if they want to be special this year.

Thanks for the score updates. Bummer the Griz lost. We are making marginal teams look good and good teams look bad. Yay. This would be easier to take if it weren't the same issues in each loss.

 

[mtgrizrule]

I really do not know the personnel well enough to know who is capable of knocking down perimeter shots consistently during games.

Strategy wise we are not deep enough yet to try the obvious. More defensive pressure is the only thing I can think of.

As for FT shooting, this team knocks them down in practice at a great clip. They did so against Great Falls too.

I couldnt watch the game but see that Selvig shot 40% from the 3. He shot ten of them :shock:
