OT: How About Those Sac State Women?

After setting a Big Sky Conference record by scoring 132 points in pummeling Portland State on Saturday, the Sac State women have scored 347 points over their last three games, and are +119 in scoring margin over that time. Still, the Hornets are just 4-8 on the season.

It will be a great contrast in styles this week, when the Hornets, who average over 88 points a game, take on Montana State and Montana in the Hornets Nest. MSU is second in the conference in scoring defense, holding opponents to 58 points a game, and the Griz are fourth, at just under 61 points per game. It will be fun to see who imposes their preferred style of play on whom.

Idaho State's women, who coughed up 31 turnovers against a fierce Weber State defense on Saturday, will get to face Sac State's full-court mayhem in two weeks. And Weber, who leads the conference in scoring defense, will get Sac on that same road trip. THAT should be interesting...
 
132 points is AMAZING! Pretty cool for those girls. It will be fun to watch when they play ISU. I was completely baffled at how bad the ISU women responded to the tough defense of Weber. (Mainly the full court press) I was at the game, and it just was kinda strange.
I know they are better then they played, it just got out of hand. These ISU women are resilient fighters. I'm excited to watch the Sac St. match up.
Go Bengals!
 
Sac is doing something to separate themselves from the rest of the pack as it were and it is bringing them some success.

Given that Sacramento is a "pro town" with the Kings and that if you are a college basketball fan Stanford and Cal are 'just down the road' they had to think outside the box to make themselves appealing to potential recruits.

I don't think this is the wave of the future and it will only carry you so far, they are usually beaten by schools with more talent and bigger players...but for the Big Sky, it's certainly a difference maker.

Was told that Bunky actually prefers going to JUCO route and getting players for two years as opposed to getting freshmen for four seasons. That's certainly unusual. And they have had a lot of turnover the past few years, kids only seem to stick around for a shorter period of time. Maybe that style simply "burns them out?"

Was also told by the way, that Lynn Kennedy, the former ISU assistant who is now the head coach at Portland State prefers the same style of "running and gunning" although I haven't seen them and don't know if they try to do that to the same extreme.

How many have watched the ESPN's 30 for 30 "The Guru of Go"?
It's really good, and it's about the coach that in a way invented "running and gunning".
I feel the ISU men's team is trying to do this. (To a point)
