I have every confidence Zo will go off in the second half, before all the haters here jump on this nitpicker.

There no need to sugar coat it. If we were playing with the force and energy that we did against Oregon and UCLA, we'd be up by 35-40.

We'll win this but it kind of uninspiring to see the guys so lackadaisical and playing Iso ball with no movement.

The second half will hopefully show some life.

Yeah but Trier doesn't read this board so we can take out our weight gain frustrations on him and stuff like that.

Up by 35 is the most laughable statement on the Internet today, and likely this year.

We need to sharpen up the D. This may be ok vs North Dakota, but it is not what we are capable of.

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:36 pm

"The Dakota players said they have nothing to lose in the 2nd half."

Oh no?

We'll see.

LOL non PAC refs aint havin' it on the Ristic defender flop

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:39 pm

They will have great effort on offense...they have to...but they won't be able to stop our offense. Dusan is already on.

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:39 pm

Seriously, we need to tighten the D up and finish this. This game should be over.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:40 pm

I'm impressed with Hooker. He is the only one stopping a complete blowout.

ghostwhitehorse · Post by **ghostwhitehorse** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:41 pm

Defense would be nice. . .

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:43 pm

Ristic gives us pluses and minuses

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:43 pm

Good on these guys, they have their offensive action down. But they can't stop us and we will take their first war shot. If we win by over 20 the hype about UofA will be bouncing off the walls of the interwebs.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:50 pm

The Cats have stagnated.

Thank you Alkins

ghostwhitehorse · Post by **ghostwhitehorse** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:50 pm

Rawle 3!!!

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:51 pm

Man sometimes Trier makes some bad decisions that usually look like 'I'm going to go one on three on these guys on the fast break!'

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:51 pm

Baldwin is chucking up threes he would never take normally but has nothing to lose and they are going in.

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:51 pm

So we need to treat these guys as we would UCLA: every perimeter player can make an open 3.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:51 pm

Is Trier not feeling well?

The Cats are really out of sync.

ghostwhitehorse · Post by **ghostwhitehorse** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:53 pm

Q is good. Not STNG good but still. .

4 on Baldwin. . .

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:55 pm

So it's a foul when...

A guy that's like seven inches taller than another guy is going up for a "rebound" (really he's just reaching up and taking the ball because the other guy is so much smaller and not really contesting on the jump), but the smaller guy throws his butt out into the much bigger guy creating contact that makes it...an over the back?

That's a daisy.

Never stop fighting until the fight is done.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:55 pm

I know you guys aren't liking the criticism on Trier, but he needs to wake up. I think the biggest problem is it was too easy in the first half and the Cats aren't playing with a chip on their shoulder. They aren't sharp.

Put Ristic in!! We've collapsed since he went to the bench....

Clearly. This is a 15 seed giving it all they've got.

Fucking defense is awful, they can't stop them

catgrad97 · Post by **catgrad97** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:57 pm

This is the tournament. Sorry, but this isn't where you "give kids breaks." They need to be pushed.

Why is Trier shooting a 30 foot 3 pointer?

We just need to be better. ND is making a ton of shots, but this is not pretty basketball. We're letting them have life.

I want to know what triers plus minus is for tonight.

He lack in some areas of basketball IQ or situational awareness.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 9:01 pm

I believe the Cats are waking up. The defensive intensity is better.

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 9:01 pm

Allen got the foul but he was going one on three there too :/

It's low IQ bastketball. Maybe some frustration.
