SUU

I agree with hawks and Wildcat. Yes, most if not all of us wouldn't have done any better singing the national anthem, but we're also not volunteering to do it. We are aware of our limitations. It was honestly pretty painful to listen to. Will it affect my life? Probably not, but it would still look better on Weber State if they use people who know how to sing and can memorize words to famous songs. It's not that rare of a talent.

Yes, it's good to repeatedly do something to become better at it, but the practice doesn't necessarily have to be in front of thousands of people. In any case, I'm sure she is a nice girl, and I did feel bad for her. She was even kind enough to thank the crowd at the end. Now I feel bad for even talking about it :)

The answer is yes. Teams are roughing him up quite a bit. It started in the St Mary's event and seemed to work. They were grabbing, holding, pushing, puching, and doing anything and everything to make him a non factor. The bad thing is that most of it happens away from the ball and goes unnoticed by the refs. He should have been at the line 20+ times against St Mary's and at least 10 to 15 times last night. It would be nice if the refs could find a way to see the action away from the ball. Last nights action wasn't as bad as the others, but only because SUU doesn't cheat as much. I hope that the BSC refs will have some discussions about it. Bam is going to get his shots as long as the rest of the team is a threat to score. :twocents:
 
Out of all the positives from this game, I want to throw out, what I consider, a huge negative. Tres gets 1 rebound. Are you kidding me! My grandmother could have done that, and shee has been dead for 30 years. We could role her coffin out on the court, open the lid, and at least one ball would fall in there. Come on. Care a little bit about it. At least get 3 RBs. Mom would get 3 because she has only been dead for 15 years. :wtf:

In Tresnak's defense he only played 14 minutes. That's right, 15 pts. in 14 minutes... Tresnak has developed beyond anything I would have guessed at the start of the season.

What is the deal with Bamforth? 0 shots attempted... are defenses keying on him that much?

From the start of the game I noticed he was not wearing a sleeve and it has been a very long time (if ever) since I have seen him in a game without one. My first thought was it was his choice to get out of his slump and expected him to come out firing - he went the other way and passed up opportunities. Kinda strange. But we all know he can put it in the hole. Let's go Scotty B!

According to an article in the Standard...

Rahe was upset with his team's shot selection in a blowout loss to BYU last Wednesday.

"Everybody -- it wasn't just Scott," Rahe said. "He's getting some schemes where they're just not letting him catch the ball, he can't get looks. I told him, hey, focus on driving the ball and getting guys shots and moving it. He's such a great kid, he said, 'OK, that's what I'll do' and that's what he did tonight."

The Wildcats can't go all season without hearing "Scotty B. for 3!" echoing around the Dee Events Center, however, as Rahe let Bamforth know when he passed up an open 3 from the corner in the second half.

"Down the road, he's going to obviously shoot the ball," Rahe said. "We'll need him to."

Scott is our third starting 3 this season. He has learned how to play the SG and PG positions in Coaches system, now he is learning the 3 position. I agree with you...we all know that Scotty B can play, and we will see his abilities many times during the course of the season, but right now he is learning another position and getting comfortable with opposing teams defenses. Even though it wasn't his best offensive performance, it surely wasn't his worse. He had some nice plays that opened up other players. Also, his defense was awesome!! He was all over the court. He had some nice rebounds and, since defenses are keying on him, by making the extra pass on the offensive side of the court, gets other guys open and will eventually get him more open. Once Wheels and Richardson feel more comfortable in the offense and hit their open looks, it will force opposing teams to guard Scotty straight up. They won't be able to cheat, like St. Mary's did. Losing Bull and Mook is tough, but it will definitely make our team that much better. Also, Bull needs to fully recover from his other ailments (Bank and Ankle). This time is good. He will be that much better when he comes back. Like Rahe always says, our team is getting better.

Hawks, you are such a kill joy. :ohno: :ohno:
dont forget that at an NBA game, the singer of the national anthem got help from head coach of Portland, if I remember right. Nobody at the Weber games gets paid to do this. I agree with "runner", and I would LOVE to see you (Hawks) do it. Until then-------------SHUT UP!!!!!!

I suppose I see how that comment came off kind of snarky. It wasn't meant as an insult to the girl singing it. She was trying her best and it takes serious guts to do up in front of a crowd like that. What I meant was that WSU would probably be better served if they didn't have people singing it in general. Keep it simple and just play the music, or have the student ban play it without the lyrics. I always feel embarrassed for our school when a new fan comes to a game for the first time (including football) and I see them holding back laughs during the national anthem. It always seems to go wrong no matter who we put up there. Save them the embarrassment, as well. Even the best of singers can freeze up on a bigger stage like that.

He's gaining confidence and that's not good for the rest of the Big Sky... Especially with Qvale gone.
 
Yes, the scoring is good. 15 points in 14 minutes is great on 6-9 from the floor. That is something we need out of him and it's good that he is developing confidence as a scorer. But, we need more than scoring from our bigs. We need good defense from them and we need REBOUNDS!!!

For Tresnak to develop into a great player and for us to win games, he must improve his rebounding. We have a 6'2" guard and a 6'0" guard who have gotten more rebounds each game than Tresnak and another 6'2" guard that has gotten more rebounds than him in all but one game.... Don't get me wrong, it's good that our guards are getting rebounds. It will be great if we get them from our center too.
