What is our offense

[talhadfoursteals]

Again...after watching the Cats lose to a Hawaii team they should have beaten I'm asking myself, what on earth is our offense. Four guys standing around the 3pt line with a high screen and no movement? No cutting, no off the ball moving, just standing waiting for someone to make a play. Even though the zebras were especially terrible last night it doesn't make up for Weber's lack of offense. At one point, the Cats got a steal have a 2 on 1 and took a 3? WHAT ON EARTH? Get the easy bucket.

From what I saw of the game, Weber State did better with their drives to the basket. Instead of sticking with penetrating the key and finding easy buckets, they decided to chuck 3s. It’s basically what led Hawaii to come back. Too many 3s attempted when the team wasn’t hitting them. 12/20 free throws is pretty bad as well. They faded down the stretch…at least they weren’t down 20, so that is something. I’m concerned this team might be middle middle or lower middle than upper middle in the Big Sky. No illusions of being anywhere near the top.

MIDDLE is it for our men's FB/BB teams in the BSC for the foreseeable future it seems. Probably OK with those in charge but not exciting to watch. Season tickets for me are a thing of the past in both.

Will say that while the Big Sky is a tough football conference in FCS, looking quite weak in BB as a low-mid major going against the high majors...seems most are getting rolled. Stay'in in your lane I guess, but Wildcats just might make it a little higher landing in BSC come March. Tourney winner will probably have a play-in (1st round) game.

I was reading something the other day about bball post offense. Weber is one of the worst in the nation when comparing points scored vs point allowed. We are getting killed. Tanner Christensen destroyed us the other night. 20 in the first half. Then on the other end not much a post game at all. It appears that Threatt will be the dynamic scorer we need, But who else will step up? Koehler is really struggling and that could be due to health issues. So we can give him a pass. I'm hoping he's able to get back to last years level. They can sure use him. The outside shooting has been a real struggle and hope this turns around quickly.
I've also noticed that several other Big Sky schools are actually doing quite well when playing at bigger schools. Eastern, Montana, Northern Colorado and MSU have all looked better against good competition than the Wildcats.
Like others here have mentioned its time to turn the athletic department upside down. We haven't been to the NCAA in mens bball since 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats such a long time. Too long. If we don't make it this year, which I don't' expect, I believe its time for a changel The same with football. Hill leaves and the once proud fb team takes a nosedive. It won't be an easy recovery. Hill took over a dead program and took it to levels before unseen. Mental was handed the keys to one of the best programs in the country, top 10 every year and competing for a national championship. In 2 years we're at the bottom of the leauge.
The thing that drives me nuts is the in house hiring. Weber seems to take the easy way out. It's time for the President of the University to step in and make some changes. Otherwise we'll continue to see NO championships, little to no attendance and lots of apathy.

Some good points, my downplaying early BSC teams games focused on a few drubbings like Montana losing by 31 & Wildcats by 28 to the Oregon's & 30 to Nevada; there have been a few close loss games but haven't seen any amazing wins? It's early but Wildcats seem to continue playing some questionable offense. It's no longer showcasing DJ, could it be a Randy Rahe 2.0 coaching style? No hate on HC Duft, I wish him success.

Talking administration, you should emphasize Pres. Mortenson stepping in...VP Norm Tarbox made picking inside hires the style when he named Crompton the acting then permanent AD. Stated that he was the best option from a national search????? This fan thinks some outside new blood is needed to bleed purple. Just my opinion.

Having watched that game, you saw all of the phantom calls and no call in the second half. There was no way that those officials were going to allow a UH loss. It was a payday game for us, a team building vacation, and a totally winable game. We played better than them and deserved the win. We didn't get the W, but we got everything else. We will see similar officiating on the road in the BSC. I thought our guys handled it well. We are playing 10 and 11 guys regularly and that will pay off late in the season. That is one of the gripes fans have had over the past 20 years. Now that it is actually happening, they are complaining about that. People like to bitch.
