Montana Lady Griz vs. Sac game thread

[grizzlyjournal]

I have watched every home game played by the Montana Lady Griz team this season and have nothing less than the HIGHEST RESPECT and regard for every single player, coach and staff of this resilient team.

The lone senior on the team, Jace Henderson, has been an incredible warrior this season... a leader by example. Her games against Idaho (31 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and one block) and against Portland State this past Thursday (28 points, 18 rebounds and 3 assists) rank among the very top 5 percent of individual games played by ANY/ALL Montana Lady Griz post players... and I've seen them all.

Montana junior point guard, McKenzie Johnston has again led the team with grit, toughness and flair… battling through several games with a face mask to protect a broken nose suffered at mid season.

Similar stories can be told about every player on this team, especially those sitting on the end of the bench in street clothing. Had Montana not suffered injuries this season to three guards (all of them starters) and a fourth guard who redshirted because of injury last season... I honestly believe this team would be fighting for a Big Sky championship. ALL those incredibly resilient and very tough players will be on the Montana bench today.

There would be no better way to honor this team than to show up and show them your support. Go Montana!

Lady Griz win. Good luck in the tourney!

Amazing how Schweyen's coaching skills have come back to her ... and how hard those girls are playing for her ... all that with half a team. She's got to go.

Yes, after skills being gone last weekend, with 2 big losses, as well as the weekend before (4 losses), they were back this weekend.

Fats, I thought you blamed everything on the injuries. Did all the players get uninjured in the last week?

2 good wins at home going into the tourney. 6-11 since early January.

I've not commented on the women that much, but their recent surge is encouraging. When you have to (basically) rebuild a back court -- twice -- it's hard to put the pieces together "on the fly." It's possible to blame the injuries on a sub-standard conditioning program, but that is a total guess, and probably wrong. (My sister-in-law in a physical therapist, so I have some professional input on that, BTW.)

We need to remember that these are still young ladies -- some little more than girls -- who are still learning to deal with adversity. They're going to have their ups and downs, as just the normal process of maturation. Not a slam on females ... young males athletes have exactly the same problems, and I'd venture to say many of them don't handle it as well as "the girls" do.

So if the Lady Griz can still make a respectable showing in the tournament, with a depleted/rebuilt team, fans should be thrilled ... and supportive.

I see your method ... you say stupid things over and over so people will grow exhausted explaining things to you. Well, that's what the explanation would be if your weren't naturally dim and not in need of such devices. I said the combination of injuries put them in a PSYCHOLOGICAL trough which had them playing so badly. They hit bottom and have rebounded ... a typical scenario for such mental states. You blamed it on the coach ... what happened ...did she suddenly become excellent again? Pretty amazing coach to get them through the season with all the troubles.

Nothing I have said is stupid or not correct. You are the one making stupid and unknowledgeable comments.

For example, after telling everyone repeatedly that the primary problem for the LG has been injuries, you then switched to coaching after the 2 wins this weekend. You didn't say anything about psychological earlier. Now, after losing 4 in a row and 2 badly, you claim that the wins came this weekend because the team didn't feel as bad psychologically. That is total nonsense.

I have blamed nothing on the coach. I have consistently said I have no view, one way or another, on the coach. I merely passed along general complaints from others on program.

Here, let me make it easy for you. This is my original take on what the Ladies problems are: I live in hope that you will recognize in this your growing cognitive impairment and take timely preventive action. Note you own statement on the psychological issue which you deny I even mentioned!!

Maybe Fat Bruno can enlighten us. He thinks he knows more about the Lady Griz than Griz fans do.

Yes, allow me to enlighten you, Meister Shyster … it’s pyschological. Just too many repeated blows from the personnel losses and the game losses that ensued. And, remember that, in addition to the benched players, Johnson had to play with the mask for several games … very debilitating for a point guard, especially. Essentially, four upper classmen at full strength and freshmen on the bench … just too much. Finally became demoralized. Who wouldn’t have. Even Trump could not have managed this team to a winning record, though he’d have claimed a world championship, at least. Take this same team next year with the dazzling Sophia Stiles on the floor, along with the deceptive Schoening and the other major players we lost, Fatkin and Mayhue hitting their groove and Pickens probably playing as a freshmen, and you’ve got the league champ … with Schweyen at the helm.

The senile guy says:
Sorry, but you are an idiot and don’t have a clue about the current state of LG hoops. Psychological? That’s pretty funny. Yes, injuries impact teams, but the Griz injuries should not make the Griz into a doormat.
Haha ... nice edit, but what did you really mean? Should it make them into a format ...

Fat Bruno says:
or should it NOT make them into a doormat. I hadn't known that losing half a goddamn team shouldn't have a devastating effect on a team. You should have stuck with format ... at least, that way, you would only have confused people instead of making it crystal clear that you're a moron.

Sorry, but your "psychological" argument is just plain dumb. Does that cause players to leave the team, parents to complain, players to complain? And your saying the two recent wins occurred because the team feels better psychologically than they did in the big skid. Too funny.

You are kind of a nasty fellow. Is this because you don't have any friends, or what causes someone to say the stuff you keep saying? Weird.

Haha ... does this old freak ever acknowledge reality? According to you I made no psychological reference, you poor, addled old fart. Yes, as I stated the short term skid was a psychological issue ... a morale issue. What did you think it was, simpleton? Now, admit you've been run out of the gym and get thee to a home ... a nursing home. It's like arguing with your great grandfather after his seventh stroke and you have to keep telling him what you are talking about over and over ... veeeery boring.
