Plus ND is getting tired. The shots that were falling are tougher now.

Gonna need a big-time effort against St. Marys.

St Mary's is definitely capable of sending us home Saturday

Ristic needs to score 20 a game to negate what he gives up on the other end in defense and boards

Likely to be a close game.

Baldwin fouls out.

OK I'll play. What's the chance, presented in a percentage form, that they send us home on Saturday?

Also they made their run with a lot of our bench in there. Now the starters are back and fresh.

Trier does need the practice. . .so. . .keep fouling him.

Lauri BOOM!!

The refs are turning this into an unwatchable game

CalStateTempe · Post by **CalStateTempe** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 9:17 pm

Yeah, I am worried about st Mary's, especially when some arnt all in on team ball.

catgrad97 · Post by **catgrad97** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 9:17 pm

Kobi making a good case for more PT in the second round.

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 9:18 pm

Lol refs probably missed an intentional foul on that Kobi pass tip on the perimeter

It is a fool's game to foul Allonzo.

What part of percentage form do you not understand?

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 9:25 pm

I want us to get 100 and shoot over 60% with 6 TOs.

33% feels a little bit high.

Season high with 3 minutes left

Jesus. PJC just instinctually runs himself into a corner without even being prodded and gets trapped.

Yes, he does that quite often.

Why are the starters still in?

ghostwhitehorse · Post by **ghostwhitehorse** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 9:29 pm

Season high points wise. . .

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 9:29 pm

These guys are good from 3. They have shot our % while making twice as many. Good team effort.

ghostwhitehorse · Post by **ghostwhitehorse** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 9:31 pm

Tacos.. . with host sauce and mole.

100 - 82 'Cats final.

Main Event · Post by **Main Event** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 9:34 pm

1 down, 5 to go

ASUHATER! · Post by **ASUHATER!** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 9:34 pm

Well that style of play certainly lended itself to the final score so I'm not that bothered. But giving up 82 to a 22-9 big sky team is kinda meh.

Not exactly a Jacob Hazzard in this bunch.

Was this a blowout? It didn't feel like one. Should've been 20+, but wasn't.

Oh, well. I expect an even stronger game Saturday. Great win Cats!

Gladiator Cat · Post by **Gladiator Cat** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 9:36 pm

Nice win, now the opponent talent level really increases.

My heart rate never went above 80 tonight, so yes.

If North Dakota can speed up Arizona, can Arizona speed up Saint Mary's?

We may need to. We are nowhere near a fast paced team but St Mary's is stuck in molasses.

dmjcat · Post by **dmjcat** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 9:45 pm

Two things we need to do:

1) Raise the intensity level on defense
2) Get Trier to knock off the NBA audition

azgreg · Post by **azgreg** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 9:47 pm

No other team today scored over 86.

Gave up 82 but they shot 46%. They probably had around 65-70 possessions, so yeah, 82 points isn't really something to worry about.

What was worrisome to me was the lack of turnovers. We were too passive in fighting through screens and getting our hands in to deflect dribbles/passes. Have to be more active.

I have nightmares about Bennett ball still. I loathe that style of basketball with every fiber of my being.
