Our women put a 40 point beating on Portland. Remember the school that is too, too good to have a home and home with our men. Yup, that same Portland, too good for us. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

We get Denver, a team that is trying hard for legitimacy. They aren't afraid to play us. This is a good thing. We need to encourage this type of game by showing up in large numbers. If we don't, you can all stop crying about our home schedule because that is what you are voting for with your butt sitting at home. Show up with 50 of your best friends or shut the heck up. Maybe 50 is too much, but 10 is doable. Do that and I won't pick on you anymore.........., maybe. :twisted:

Amen, oldrunner. :notworthy:

That was a truly ugly display of basketball. Lets face it; this team in not nearly as good as any of us thought it would be. The only guy who came to play was Hill. He worked hard on "D", on the boards, shot efficiently from the floor and hit his free throws. But that was the only bright spot. Richardson is a pair of empty shoes this year. I say that Rahe should bench him in favor of Harding. Our point guards (minus Cannon) finally drove the basket but couldn't recognize a dish if it slapped them in the face. Senglin went 5 for 20... I wonder what his season shooting percentage is? This team is in trouble even in the Big Sky. I think they will have problems going much more than 500 even in the lowly Sky. Oh well, things are looking up for next year; with Senglin gone maybe they can figure out how to play team ball.

Disappointing game to say the least, this team has serious flaws when the 3 ball isn't falling.

I agree. That was an ugly game. They came out and smacked us in the face, literally, and we just stood back and let them do it. Jeremy had the worst shooting game I've ever seen him have. Hopefully that won't happen again. there were darn few positives to take from that game. We were not tough enough. I hope we are able to correct some of that or it will be a long season. You simply can not count on your shooting night in and night out. With Richaud out, we have lost one of our better rebounding guards. Neither Jerrick or Ryan help much with rebounding. For now, we are much too soft. We need a little nasty. :twocents:

Exactly. I think they will get better as the season goes on, but so far, this is the most one-dimensional team I've seen from Randy Rahe.

Jeremy had his worst game. With this game included, he is shooting 46% for the year, 42% from three. He is still our best shooter and one of the best in the country. I don't think he will go 5 for 20 again this year. Like you said earlier, our whole team struggled, with the exception of Hill. Hill fought hard the whole game. Cannon got in foul trouble and so did Braxton. Whenever Baker got in the game, they isolated and abused him. We really need Dallas to step up. We were just not aggressive enough.

That was easily the most selfish played basketball game I've ever watched as a Weber State Basketball fan. 3-14, 5-20 overall? What bugs me most about those numbers arent the totals but how he arrived at those totals. His last shot pretty much summed up his entire game. So many times it left me shaking my head saying to myself "does he realize there are four other players wearing his same uniform?" It was a very selfish game played by Jeremy. His last two plays was perfect Senglin. Flopping with less than 10 to go and having to air ball the last three shots. You are not going to get a charge call with less than 10 to go. That flop was pathetic. Play Defense!!

Next, once again coming down the stretch the Cats played tentative, rigid, and mechanical. They were doing everything they could not to lose instead of playing to win. Denver is not a good team. They play hard, have some pieces, and really compete, but they are not anywhere near as talented as the Cats. This is a coaching issue. We saw issues after Linder left, after Bernard left, after Beckner left and now after Smiley we are seeing issues again. There are reasons why Lever and Duft have never been hired away...

Good news Wildcat fans...5 points from being a two loss team. Bad news our losses are bad for the program's health, our university's image and for our community.

And coming up, the big Cougars at the Marriot...the game is televised on BYUTV, I'm hoping it isn't painful to watch! Very much expecting a big L but hope the Wildcats can show some newly found competitiveness!
Don't let this be another

I've noticed the same thing. He's trying to do to much, and his assist/turnover ratio is atrocious.

:thumb:
Those are really awful numbers for a four year starter. He never should be running the point. He is absolutely careless with the ball and his efficiency rate is ugly!

Rebounding...

I have had quite a few discussions about this since last January, and I'm absolutely beside myself about the recruiting decision of our coaching staff this spring. I was hopeful that Randy would go after a JC big who could contribute right away. Kiko was coming off an injury, Dallas wasn't progressing as much as we hoped, and we were losing the most prolific rebounder in 40 years. To me, with an open spot, you go after the most needed type of player first. A big! We desperately needed more depth at that position. Regrettably, we didn't get it. I really like Harding and am glad he is here, but the Georgie recruitment leaves me shaking my head.

Of course, none of us thought that Kiko would get injured again or that Dallas really wasn't ready for major mins. Nonetheless, even with Hill or Braxton on the floor Weber still really struggles crashing the boards. Our guards do one of two things. Eagerly run backwards after taking a shot or just stand around watching. Our big need more help. When Baker is in the game we give up size for speed and that is when fundamentals really count. Not ripping on Baker at all. Personally, I think he is our best player. Just our rebounding is bad because it isn't being taught. Yes, you can definitely coach rebounding. You teach toughness and how to freaking box out.

Don't knock the players, you never know.

Everyone I think we should warmly welcome Mike007H, especially since he is joining us from a United Kingdom IP address. Any chance you are related to the player from the United Kingdom that Tal referred to in this post?

Regardless, welcome to the forum.

OK, I gotta know. Why the hell are you always so goddamn fascinated with where people from this forum are posting from? Who the hell cares?
