WSU vs UI

[Da Bears]

Maybe the preseason hype on Bolomboy was too much. I'm not sure if anyone could live up to the expectations placed on Joel.

He's averaging 13 points, 10 rebounds a game. Averaging a double double is a great performance. Realize that his 41 turnovers are hurting the team, but if you look at his overall stats...... Joel is having a great season!

Losing a close game to Idaho was frustrating, especially when we played good enough to win. Coach Rahe is right to say that losing is unacceptable. There are no moral victories. If we are going to compete, we need some defense in the paint and some rebounding.

However, this team is improving. We went blow for blow with the best offensive team in the conference. Our shooting has gotten better. These last two games the wildcats have shown a confidence in pulling the trigger that was lacking pre-season. Despite some errors, Senglin is proving a critical spark on offense, and many of the other players are following suite. His errors will go down the more other players get involved.

Ultimately, the winning culture that coach Rahe has established over the last nine years will manifest itself by tournament time.

The Big Sky will be ugly this year. Idaho and Eastern will lose some games. They are very beatable. I'm enjoying watching this young team come together.
