layup vs. dunk......

[haggyland]

Very tough loss and unfortunately a very bad loss.

Defense did look much improved, though.

[UA'08]

we take a step forward tuesday then two steps back today

layup vs. dunk......

 

I hear that a lot, but I'm not sure if the %'s are much different for a kid like Tartt. From the feed I couldn't tell if there was any mustard added or not, but I'm guessing he misses that about 1 out of 100 times.

[Clickclack]

I like Tartt a lot he might be my favorite freshman but undoubtedly today is a very painful lesson for the young man.

Mediocrity sucks.

 

If anyone's interested, Montana is playing its fcs semi-final game on espn now.

[UA'08]

we are going to be looking at a 5-10 record going into conference play come january.

 

thats if we're lucky!

This loss should have never happened....what's left is for us to sit here thinking what should have been.

[Clickclack]

How is it possible that our starting pg in 34 minutes get's ONE assist to FOUR to's....I guess some things never change.

This is the type of thing that drives coaches crazy. you can't play the blame game. But--a point must be made.

[McFan]

I'm still struggling to understand what kind of team we are even trying to be. I'm sure I read something about up tempo before the season started. I'm sure I read something about going smaller and quicker.

 

With his best offensive game of the season, I'm still not sure how Giff has 35 minutes. Five TO's and beat to the basket a number of times.

 

Metcalf, Aronhalt, Black and Lindfors 7 minutes combined out of 225 available minutes (and that's w/ Johnson fouling out and Timmy w/4 for a while)? Doghouse?

 

Will Harris - 3 shot attempts from inside the arc? Really?

 

After a 13-2 rebounding advantage we end w/ only a 36-33 edge against a team that is really small.

 

1-11 from 3. Tim takes none. I know it's not his specialty but his % is always decent, has he been told not to shoot them. 33 and 34% the last two years (25% so far this year). Best on the squad last year. I mean really Jake Lindfors has hoisted more 3's than Tim in half the minutes played.

[UA'08]

I guess were just not that good this year. We are a third through the season and I have not seen any improvements. At least the rotation was cut down. The teams we have played are nothing special either. We have 4 wins and those are all against teams with 250+ rpis. Two of those teams have 0 wins on the year!

It's been a season of one step forward one step back...going nowhere fast.

 

It's possible(likely) that we'll go into the conference portion of the schedule at 4-10...

 

Looks like another losing season....under .500

Just rolled in from CCSU. Tough loss. Didn't see a box score but CCSU hit a bunch of free throws down the stretch. Tartt misses the breakaway dunk to just about ice the game....WOW! Also curious why he didn't shoot the 3 when he got the ball on the steal over on the wing (Scotty eventually dunked it but looked like he had a decent shot at 3 to tie). Anyway, I like the kid and he will learn. That said, I'm concerned that this is going to be another "bad" year. But there is a long way to go, hopefully the guys gel....I feel like we have a bunch of talent

[Dane Pound]

Just got in from the game as well. That was pretty horrible.

 

I was thinking down the stretch when we were up four or five that we needed to have a good possesion and give ourselves some breathing room. We didn't. You can't have that thin of a margin of error on the road. Despite that we still had the chance to win when you all know what happened.

 

Despite his mistake Tartt is the only guy to get double digit minutes and not turn the ball over. I'm starting to feel better when he and Billy Allen are on the floor.

 

CCSU student chants at the end:

"just like football." and of course,

"dunk it" everytime Tartt touched the ball.
