Lady Griz vs. NCU thread

It's going to be a wild weekend for Montana, SUU, Sac State, NAU, Idaho, and even Montana State.

If my calculations are correct, Montana could finish as high (with 2 wins) as a 3 seed, or (with two losses) drop down to a 7 seed.

Tied at 59. Going into overtime.
Fouls really starting to pile up.

Tough loss for the Lady Griz ... 72-64 in Overtime with two UM players fouling out.

That is being nice. Double digit lead and get the ball out of bounds and get a shot clock violation? Then go scoreless for 5+ minutes. Better learn to find that killer instinct from the Cat game because they lost it tonight.
 
Another bizarre loss for the GrizWBB. Ahead 47-40 with 3:10 remaining in regulation. One of the strangest meltdowns I've ever seen in hoops (& I've seen quite a few). I'll just leave it at that.
 
MSU women just beat Sac State by 13.
The Big Sky women's race got whittled down quickly. Simply put: Montana must beat Sac State Saturday to earn a top-5 bye. If they win, they're in.

Up 7 with 52 seconds left from what we remember...That was a crazy ending to regulation and then OT dominated by UNC.

Tillman sat the entire 2nd (Turned the game on at the end of 1st and officials were reviewing the monitor for a Tillman foul...believe it was called a flagrant) and then sat a majority of the 3rd. Sac never got in rhythm. . If Sac St wants to get back to playing hot they will def need Tillman to stay out of foul trouble and need Peneueta to get hot again from 3. If the Lady Griz want to get by Sac St at the nest they will need to figure out P&R coverage and not allowing Peneueta to get easy looks from behind the arch. LG went zone the first matchup at times....they have played zone off and on all year. Will be interesting to see this matchup prior to tourney. Both teams will be dangerous if playing up to capabilities.
 
The last minute of regulation was just awful. I think we were up 7 with 1:03 remaining. We kept letting them get open looks from 3 which they were hitting and then when we would inbound the ball we would just stand there and wait to be double teamed and turn it over. And I have no frickin idea why we did not foul in the back court after Gfeller made her free throw with 13 seconds left and up by three. Instead we let the NC player dribble all the way up the court and bank in a 3 to send us to overtime!!

Also, not to pick on her but Abby needs to not take her self out of the game with fouls. I know the 5th foul was ticky tack but the first 4 were not good fouls at all. She had an over the back where she had no chance for the rebound and a bad reach in foul that made her sit most of the first half. Then in the second half got caught in the air on a pump fake for her 3rd and the 4th was a moving pick that looked like she was pass blocking for the football team.

OK, enough venting.

Yup, camp disappointment here too! Can't have the turnovers in the last part of the game, over and back on inbounds, 5 sec getting ball in, Frohlich was under basket, could have put it up for a possible foul, instead threw it away (4-TO's), defense errors-Sofie got faked out of her shoes to permit UNC's best shooter to convert, poor shooting, turns it over with one hand passes. Keller & Nelson very poor shooting...we handed to them. Get the fire back!!
