2014 suu: worst team in big sky history?

They are lookin really bad. 11 pts at half time tonight and 1-12 so far.

Only sac n ewu can claim the defeated title of "oh-fur" in big sky. Only 1998 sac finished a season with one overall win.
 
You can bet that they will play way above themselves when they come to Ogden. They will likely be just like last year. I expect a lot of grabbing, shoving, holding, hacking, elbowing, kicking, and whining. The only thing to differ from last year is that they don't have two shooting guards who can fill it up. Other than that they are the same old hacking team. :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

PS: Their ex coach is doing great up north. :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
I just took in the box score from SUU's game last night. WOW, they were really bad.

Their starters combined for 15 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 8 turnovers for the GAME. That is some kind of pathetic! They played 14 players and nobody was much better than that. As a team, they were out scored 40 - 10 in the paint. Honestly, I think you could hold a tryout of nursing home patients, field a team and beat the Thunderbutts. They won't win a game the rest of the season.

We should beat this team by 60 or 70. :yikes: :rofl: :yikes: :dead:
 
they had 2 points halfway through the first half and were down 24-2.

if they dont win a game then it probably would be the worst in big sky history. we would just need to compare who sac beat for its lone win in 1998. lol
 
Their lone win was against Arizona Christian, 85 - 78. I don't imagine that AC was up to much, but they came within 7 points of the Thunderbutts in Cedar City.

We need to hold these guys to under 10 points in both halves. Actually, I will not be happy if they score a bucket more than once every 10 minutes. If we foul them and they make a few free throws, that's OK. We should force them into more turnovers than baskets. In fact, it aught to be turnover night. Free turnovers to the first 200 students to darken the door. Fillings in the pastries could be purple Berries of some sort. I'd be willing to donate to something like that. :lol: :lol:
 
to be the worst ever in sky history is no easy task. you have to be really really bad. some of those old ewu and sac teams were seriously horrible, we're talking like ncaa record bad i wonder...

i remember back in the day wondering if ewu, psu or sac would ever have a team that could make a basket.

psu and sac took 10 yrs to get a win in ogden.
 
I am looking forward to seeing James play a lot tonight. This is the perfect game for him to make his first appearance. Our bigs should have their way tonight. Heck, our whole team should have their way. Fuller and Hill should have big games tonight. I expect us to put up 90 to 110 points on the evening. We should run and pressure the whole night long. They are going to be hacking us at every turn, so why expose the starters to a ton of minutes to that kind of thing? Get them in to get their rhythm and then get them out. Try out a few zones. I don't think they have great shooters. Try out a couple of presses. I don't think they have great ball handlers. Get out in transition. I don't think they have great athletes.

This is a game that will be a lot like, maybe just better than, Kathy's School of Cosmetology.
 
I actually talked to james in class this week and he said he was cleared to play but is not in game shape so im not sure how much we will actually see of him, but I do agree this game is as good as any to play in.

What are we expecting from our starters?
 
It's looking like Weber sleeping on SUU just like many posts have :ohno: . Let's focus on where Weber is and what they might become instead of how bad SUU is or might be.

Oldrunner... You have never been more dead wrong on predicting the outcome of a game.....
 
Man, was I wrong on this one. We made those guys look a lot better than they are. we didn't really attack them until late in the second half. They sure gave a good effort against us. If they keep giving that kind of effort, they will win some games. They didn't look like the worst team in BSC history. :yikes:
 
Couldn't make it to the game tonight, but almost choked when I tuned in to Arky at 2 minutes left in the game...what the ?? happened? Was at least relieved to hear it said that (usually inflexible) Coach Rahe made a smart change in the second half, changing to a zone defense that allowed Weber to catch back up & move a few points ahead. Next week's home games are certainly going to be interesting & definitely not sure wins for the Wildcats, if they ever were!

Trip to the dentist, that is right! Not much fun, but good when it is over!

I believe SUU used the same approach last year, foul and hack and sub in and out often to keep the opponent from building any rhythm.

Funny, with the new NCAA rules this year, the offensive player usually has the advantage - but not in the SUU game, I can not remember a game that had that many charges called. I do understand when a player put his shoulder down to begin his drive, that is a foul. Several others were questionable.

Does anyone know: does the Conference officiating manager watch and critique games after the fact? Seems like it would help....
 
Does anyone know what exactly the call on the 3 pointer was? That was a real weird call. I thought it was a shot clock violation, but instead they get to shoot 3 free throws and the guy didn't even shoot the ball. He just jumped up and down and held on to the ball. lol. Please someone explain. Either I don't know my basketball rules like I thought I did or that was one of the worst calls I have ever seen. So bizarre :roll: .
 
That was one of the worst calls of all time. The other two refs just lowered their heads and looked at the floor. Everyone in the building knew it. The guy went up for a shot, was not touched, saw that he was going to get his shot blocked, came down with the ball, our guy touched his arm, and the ref blew his whistle. Everyone saw the traveling happen first. Also, by the time the touch happened he was no longer shooting. Really, the play was over once he traveled. However, if the ref thinks he did not travel, then the foul, and it really wasn't, happened when he was not shooting, and the ball should have been put in play from out of bounds. The really bad part is that the other two didn't help him out or he didn't go to the monitor to figure it out.

That crew was one of the worst I have seen in a while. Get used to it, this is the BSC. The conference will do absolutely nothing about it. My opinion is that any one of those three should only be allowed to officiate with other, more experience refs. The problem is that the BSC has too few experienced refs. Officiating is not going to get better until the NCAA takes it over, and away from the conferences. :coffee:
