I've been in a funk re: basketball the past few days so took some time off but I noticed something last Saturday in Bozeman.
NAU's bench is significantly shorter than at the beginning of the season and I'm just picking up on this. I've obviously been living under a rock but I saw in Flagstaff for the EWU game and the UM and MSU games last week that there is no Keith Olson, Kristian Kuhn or Zack Zaragoza to be seen? Transfer at semester? Deficient grades? Kicked off team for delinquincies/transgressions of some sort? I can't go all "Encyclopedia Brown" on this topic as I don't live in Flagstaff anymore so i'm having to resort to the anyone in the know out here in internet land. I'm sure that Eric Platt was sitting the year out after transfer from Wyoming? Are Gabe Rogers and Luis Flores red-shirting? Wait though, didn't Luis Flores get some minutes earlier in the season? Does that eliminate the opportunity to redshirt? The plot thickens.
Not trying to stir up gossip here but discussing NAU's recent 4 conference losses by a grand total of 10 points probably would be counterproductive to my mental well-being.
Looking ahead, Sac State lost pretty bad on the road tonight to N. Colorado. Could Sunday be the first road win, perhaps? I'm not going to say that too loud but I am hoping so.
I've become spoiled the past few seasons with the Lumberjacks modest success. I took it for granted and am frustrated that a few rolls, bounces, calls haven't gone the other way so far this season but I'll continue to follow this team on the computer the rest of the season.
Go Jacks!
