Newspaper today said shin splints. I think rest for MSU since we were going to lose this one anyway.
Wildcats have been snake-bitten this season no doubt & this loss was expected but is there a arguably valid observation that the Wildcat Coaches have little ability to make some in-game adjustments, improvising Xs & Os dealing with setbacks? Is the statement valid that without Harding, this team sucks & should expect to get kicked to the curb when up against stiff competition? A 30+ point loss in a Big Sky game is every bit as bad as a 50+ point loss to USU. 
Ugh...I have more faith in a dull rock than I do in Randy Rahe turning this wreck around.

I suspect that his hands, which were so smoking hot against us, are recovering from blisters...lol..

Too funny. They needed him to be in order to even the score vs the Hornets. I think Montana, EWU, and Norther Colorado are a slight step up from the rest of the Big Sky, but the Tourney is wide open...just don’t see the Wildcats winning 4 straight games...especially if Harding has to play less than 100%.

There was a time when injuries were no excuses. I remember when Lillard was out with a foot injury when they played BYU at home when Jimmer was on BYU. They played toe to toe with BYU and got a few calls against them down the stretch. If I remember right, they only lost by five.
Now Rahe is more than fine using injuries as an excuse. He even has a lot more in his repertoire: veteran teams, team is tired (from chopping wood I assume), basketball gods aren’t rewarding them, etc.
This may be a preview of the future years (2-3) how Wildcats Basketball will be without Harding. Pretty scary. At least football is great.
I still think the only possible road win is at Moscow...and I don’t see them beating both Portland State and SUU. I wouldn’t be surprised if they lost both.
I guess we will see how it all unfolds. New leadership is needed in my opinion...but thanks to Bovee, that won’t be possible for a while.

In OT noneless.
What are Montana chances of going far in March?

What is the history of Big Sky teams doing well in the tournament besides Weber?
Seems like Montana have only ever won 2 games in 12 appearances!
