MONTANA @ ARIZONA

On the positive side, it looks like Qguine may have fixed his free throw worse.

Man the Griz look baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. Which is to be expected against a Pac12 Powerhouse. Offense has been stale all year, sadly looks like that will continue at least for the night. My personal expectations for this team were high, maybe I undervalued Fab's contributions...

This Again

Not able to watch but it sounds like there is still something intangible missing with this team. Maybe there just isnt leadership out there. Maybe they just dont gel together. Maybe it is still too early to know. Definitely concerning. Will still remain hopeful and still expecting them to figure it out, play like we all hoped at some point this season and win the BSC.

They're 10 games in with basically the same team as last year. If they haven't figured it out by now they can kiss the big sky goodbye.

So we cant win the Big Sky?

Absolutely they can.

Unfortunately, the level the Griz compete at, we hope for multiple great years in a row like last year, but those special seasons tend to be rare.

Agree 100%
Just wish the Athletic Department would realize investing in basketball can pay off, literally. I support the Griz no matter what, just dumbfounded on this team this year.

Please elaborate.

Pridgett has been pretty sloppy with the ball this year as well. Arizona up 50-32, 6:30 left in the game.

Oh I thought your post sounded like they since they hadnt figured it out yet they could “kiss the big sky goodbye”. They are not the same team. Pridgett trying to step into a new role.
Falls trying to earn more play time. New role players in Manuel, Dorsey. No Fab. Akoh struggling to play. Overall struggling to find a rhythm/identity as a team.

Hate to be bummer but this team will lose to S Dak and then will be out of mid major top 25,rightfully so. Just not playing well and will struggle all conf season. So many mid majors kicking butt
already Buffalo,Charleston, Wofford, Murray St. just not in same league.....?

 

[keena52]

Pissed. Best team we’ve had forever and we look and play stupid. Big disappointment. Thank god we got Big Sky play, but this schedule was one we could earn or at least ???? Really? We now guaranteed a low seed.

Exactly. They can still win the big sky, but they are not playing to their potential. Not even close. One of the more talented Griz teams I've seen in a very long time and they are not playing well at all.

Yep. We had a lot of national exposure coming into season.. RPI’s, Rankings, and Top 10 Cinderella’s of 2019. Our wet dream is where SDSU is? Sad. Even if we win that one, we wrecked ourselves for a decent seed.

Weak link: Bobby Moorehead

Can this man do anything right? 1 steal and what else? Absolutely nothing. Let Dorsey play ffs, he could get a hell of a lot more than 1 steal and 0 for the field in the amount of playing time that man gets. I seriously have no idea how he still has his starting spot?

We were always guaranteed a low seed...

 

[BelierPeaux]

Well, I understand shooting 22 3s if we are a good 3-point shooting team. But we aren't.

I like Bobby but feel the same way. He really does not contribute anything anymore.

 

[rainbear14]

4-21 from 3?

1:40 left, Arizona up 57-38

You’re kinda right........when it comes to offense. The team needs more offensive consistency from him. However, he is our top defender next to Oguine. 6’7” with a good wing span. That’s why he plays a lot and starts. We need Bobby. Dorsey has been a disappointment so far, but he hasn’t had much of an opportunity.

 

[cmtgrizzly]

Bobby is there for D and rebounding. Maybe he didnt rebound well tonight. In any case, I agree that he is vulnerable to give up minutes and certainly as vulnerable if not more so than any starter. Does Dorsey play good D? I am not sure he has shot well enough/done enough to earn more time either if he cant play defense as well as Bobby.

 

[MissoulaMarinerFan]

Final, Arizona wins 61-42. Freddie Brown got in and made the last shot of the night with about 40ish seconds left, a 3. Happy for him. Good for the Griz to experience to play against a team that is just better talent wise and athletic wise than what they'll face in the Big Sky.
