Need to find ways to score. Get the ball to Lauri even if it's on the perimeter. need Trier to step up and create shots that aren't bricks. Looked like we were able to defend better towards the end of the half, Lauri was on Landow.

538 has the game 50/50 right now

Ok I've got $1000 bucks if Chuck strangles that dB with the bow tie. Srsly

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:26 pm**

Trier had a shitty, shitty half.

But anyone suggesting he should be on our bench and not be playing.... I don't have any words for that

Wow a 1 pt game really?!?

Our % will improve if we stop rushing our shots. Our passing and timing has been off so when we get an opening we pull the trigger way too fast. If we're not going to go to the rim we need to move the fucking ball because they have real good on-ball D on the perimeter. We have a fair amount of O boards but we need to get more physical in the paint.

Why isn't Lauri taking any 3s?

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:27 pm**

We don't advance with out AT contributing. Its that simple.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:28 pm**

Calm down, this is just like 97!

Rise it to the hole. Use our size with small ball. Let's go!

I agree. We need to pressure more. Don't let them pick us apart.

Because he isn't Trier.............He doesn't take shots with someone in his face

Especially with RA's splint likely to impact his 3 point shot. We're going to need the good Trier.

The Cats can win without AT. They did before he returned. I want the best players on the floor. If AT wakes up, fine.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:30 pm**

Sorry alieb, I'm all for giving him a chance, letting him find his rhythm, but he's just a terrible teammate sometimes.

That's tie when you playing the Washington states of the world, but not in a one and done tourney.

I hope Miller chewed him out, let's him start, but keeps him on a short leash.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:30 pm**

I think when we get the lead in the 2nd half, momentum will change big-time in our favor.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:30 pm**

Prediction: 2nd half is Trier Time.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:30 pm**

OK. A second single malt for the second half. This one has to taste better or I'm gonna kill the bottle.

Not quite. St. Marys is much better than South Alabama/Charleston.......we need to step up our game before there is 5 minutes left in the game

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:31 pm**

If Trier could attack the basket and not take contested jumpers that'd be great

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:32 pm**

Ristic gives us the lead

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:32 pm**

Ok, time to sack the fudge up. I call we win the 2nd half 37-31. So we win 66 -61. Call it!

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:33 pm**

AT starts the 2nd half. We'll see.

3 on Dusan.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:33 pm**

Allen 3!!!!

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:34 pm**

3! Boom! Game!

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:34 pm**

Yes!!!!

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:34 pm**

KA 3!!!

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:34 pm**

Theres the lead!

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:35 pm**

Get a ducking rebound.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:36 pm**

Trier gets his first points

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:36 pm**

Trier for 2. Game.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:36 pm**

Yes trier...That was smart

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:36 pm**

Trier!!

Cats nutting up.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:37 pm**

Get Dusan out of the fucking game

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:39 pm**

We are in a punchers duel right now.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:39 pm**

Our Bigs aren't getting position deep enough before they take the ball

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:39 pm**

Yeah we're not blowing them out

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:39 pm**

I like this pace

Hopefully Triers early bucket gets him going

well he was taken out of the game and we still got carved up on D and gave up rebounds lol.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:40 pm**

St. Mary's finishes no lower than 4th in the PAC 12. Their very good.

dmjcat wrote:Our Bigs aren't getting position deep enough before they take the ball

Yep. Maddening

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:40 pm**

Why are we doing this? Just letting them run their offense. We've already proven we can't stop them that way.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:40 pm**

We have to grok their two and three man game. That pick and roll goes either one of two ways and we suck at both of them.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:41 pm**

Ok seriously, is anyone actually worried? Is this not exactly the kind of game we always win in the end? Cats by 5-8, but heartburn until the last 20 seconds.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:41 pm**

I already like the way Trier is playing in this half. He is not forcing it. And yes, Ristic is a huge liability on defense and the boards. I'm surprised he's never learned to block out. He isn't aggressive enough and becomes a liability on the boards. I'd at least like to see him dive for a loose ball.

Posted: **Sat Mar 18, 2017 6:41 pm**

Looks like last one to score wins.

Don't see any spurt of death possible against St. Mary's.

Which carving up was his fault? Only one missed board within his reach, at least he got a hand on it

Hansen just retweeted SalimsHeadband as if it was from Salim Stoudemire LOL

I'm worried so far as the players on the floor are behind the learning curve against this opponent.

Their damn near as talented as we are and way more disciplined.
