Huge Week Coming Up

With Southern Utah out of the way, the ISU men's team faces its biggest week in memory: at Weber Monday night, then home against Montana Thursday and Montana State Saturday (both in Reed Gym). The men could conceiveably play their way into contention for the regular season title -- or completely out of the picture by the end of the week.

I worry about the Bengals' lack of depth, especially during a three-game week, and Bill shortened his bench again last night, basically relying on just two subs -- Magot and Evans, with Tyler getting just five minutes and Smith not seeing the floor. I suspect we'll see him go a tiny bit deeper as the week goes on.

Attendance has been down again this year, too, and I'd love to see 2,500 in Reed for both of the Montanas. Reed always makes a great atmosphere, and the Bengals played very well there last year against the Bobcats (a blowout win) and the Grizz (a narrow loss). Come on out next week and let's "restore the roar" a little bit for ISU hoops.

(Oh, and don't forget the women's game Monday night against Weber in Reed!)
 
Another loss to Weber. The Rivalry is dead. What's that now--10 out of the last 11? What a punch in the gut. Here's hoping for a rebound in more ways than one in Reed Gym later this week.
 
It was a great comeback effort, but the Bengals have to figure out how to get over the hump on the road. They've pressed UNC, Weber and UND on the road, but haven't gotten a W yet. The key play last night was not rebounding the missed free throw by Bolomboy with Weber up by just two and 30 seconds to go. Instead, Richardson got the loose ball, got fouled and made both free throws -- game over. Gotta make plays.

I'm really looking forward to the Montana visits this weekend, I hope we have good crowds and create a true homecourt advantage at Reed. Last night's women's game was a lot of fun -- good crowd and they were loud as the Bengals came back late to win.
