MONTANA TRIP..FOR THE WIN.

[bearsradio]

Devon with 31. Season high & 1 off his career high...and two HUGE shots when we went down.

 

[beardevil39]

That was great last night. We played with poise and confidence. I am really liking our depth. One down and one to go! Saturday night is going to be huge! Go Bears

 

[Bearsfan24]

Great game all around. When this team puts it together they're fun to watch.

Man that UNC/UM game on Sat is going to be electric, I might have to have 2 games playing on BSTV on Sat. I'll have to flip between Weber/EWU and UNC/UM.

Its going to be huge, I wonder if Montana will get to have Cherry play.

You simply have to ignore Dub. All of us do. :nod:

That said, it WAS a pretty inane article.

Yeah, he said no one would win crap except Montana before the football season started and then when E. Washington got into the play offs he said they wouldn't make it past the first round, then he said any CAA school would destroy them by 60 points or something like that. Obviously he's an idiot.
As for the game itself, it should be a dandy. Montana should the favorite, but our guys will be ready. This senior led team knows what's at stake. Bear down!!!!

Beitzel has to be the front runner for the Big Sky player of the year.

If UNC wins the conf then yes Beitzel will def be the MVP, but If Montana wins it, Qvale will get the MVP, its usually how the Big Sky does it, the best player on the #1 team usually gets the MVP

Understood, to the victor belong the spoils.

I don't see anything wrong with the article.

Neither do I. I think he must have just learned the definition of "inane" and wanted to show off his new word.

Well, here are some highlights why I (and many others, evidently) felt the article wasn't exactly written with a great deal of depth.

1. Wasn't the loss at Weber in February (a team UNC finished 1 game behind) far more important last year than a loss to Montana in January??

2. Wasn't the loss to Montana in the tournament far more important than the one in January?? Why the hell would anyone care about a loss to a team in January when that same team knocked you out of the tournament?

3. The article makes it appear as though UNC lost a road game in the BSC tournament. While it's true they didn't host, they lost on a neutral floor, not really a situation which, according to the article, "forced them to hit the road", in my mind. Had they lost to Weber, I would agree that statement would be valid. As it's written, it's vague and misleading.

4. I think it's a little early to call Saturday's game the "de facto conference championship". Too many games still to be played.

5. The article highlights a potential match-up between Beitzel and Cherry without mentioning that Cherry is out and doubtful for the game??


Just seemed like lazy reporting/writing to me. But then, I'm a stickler for details and accuracy....


Glad I could help you with your vocab lesson, jjjj.

Now that's better. All of your points are valid and I agree with you now that you expanded your statement. I can see why a Montana fan would want more in depth reporting but us UNC fans are just happy to see an article in the Denver Post about UNC that contains more than a paragraph.

BTW, I did have to google the definition of "inane."

That Montana loss last January was big, had UNC won, they would've went into the Weber game tied for first. Even if UNC still lost to Weber, and Weber went on to lose to Portland St, UNC would've still taken the conference crown because of tie breakers.

But since UNC lost to Montana, that put them in a very tough uphill battle. UNC went into the Weber game, one game behind first. They needed a win just to be tied for first, and even still they probably would've had needed Weber to lose again down the line. So the Weber loss pretty much solidified 2nd place for UNC.

Both losses were huge, but looking back on the finished schedules, the Montana loss probably did more damage.

Not to belabor the point, but had you beaten weebs, you would have been tied for the conf lead and had the tie-break over them by sweeping the head-to-head match-ups, no?
