Montanas

[n.ogdencat]

Big week for the Cats. Whenever we head up to Montana, I'm dreaming of a sweep, but realistically hoping for a split. Big games for the Cats. Neither Montana team are pushovers and at anytime can light up an opposing team. Team defense is key. It all starts with team.

I think Weber State has the momentum going in, so hopefully they come away with at least a split, but why not get greedy and go for a sweep? If they keep up their energy on defense and move the ball around like they have lately, I think they can stay atop the conference standings after this trip. Go Wildcats!

Great game in Bozeman for the Wildcats! They are starting to gel. This sets up a big showdown in Missoula. Go Wildcats! Get the sweep!

 

[WILDCAT]

Great team win, i really like the way Weber is playing right now. Hopefully they can shoot like rhis again on Saturday.

Go Cats, beat the griz.

Solid win tonight in Bozeman by our Cats. 19 TOs though. Imagine how badly Weber could have beaten the bobs if they could cut down on the turnovers and do a better job of taking care of the ball? No matter, even with the 19 TOs the Cats still controlled the game virtually from start to finish. Now on to Missoula for a showdown.

Turnovers hurt, but wow MSU put on a flop clinic (is Stew out consulting teams right now?). Did we set a record for offensive fouls?

I was impressed how consistent we were offensively. We had an answer for every attempted run.

I know this is a broken record, but the refs in Sky games have been absolutely atrocious this year. At times it really seemed as if Weber was playing against 8.

I was very surprised to see Vegas put us as 7 point under dogs tonight. The way things have come together defensively, I think it will be closer. If Braxton and Chapman play at a high level tonight. We have a good chance for the Montana sweep.

Agreed. Griz have not been consistent enough on the offensive end lately to be favored. I'd probably take Weber and 5-7 pts. Many times this yr., Montana goes on these...what appears to be mental-block runs where their offense gets shut down for 5/6/7 minutes spans. That type play won't win the Big Sky...That said, always great to see the Weebs and Griz do battle.
