You think we will see much of GJ or Gibbs tonight?

by ZagaZags on Mar 8, 2010 6:01 PM PST reply actions  

Probably GJ

if I had to guess from recent PT. Doesn’t sound like Grant is close to playing.

He’s got to stick to McConnell.

Throw the ball to Elias on a 2-on-1…thanks

Why do all of our guards

Force feed the ball to Rob…but don’t give the ball to Elias when he is wide open

Final 4 or bust

It's remarkable

he has to work so hard for a shot.

It's very sad

I hope he covers well. Please god don’t let the staff rush him back.

Kennel Club needs an Ooooooooooooooooooomar chat

The big man is flummoxed.

Ben Allen has apparently stolen his mojo

"E"

I sure would like to see a set call from the bench for E and a clear out. He needs to get in gear or we’re in trouble. Omar is quiet now and we should be taking advantage of that.

by Bob_Bell on Mar 8, 2010 6:52 PM PST up reply actions  

Eh not really

McConnell is coming off a high screen every time down the court by Omar so Meech is usually switched off. Two of those drives were his though.

Oh well, I’ve got a feeling Harris is going to get some momentum early in the second half. He’s demanding the ball

Well, only down 1 after the way we started.

Could be much, much worse. I thought we were heading for a 15+ point blowout and I was heading for a hungover morning there for a while.

Max,

did we pick Siena? I’m assuming yes

by Bob_Bell on Mar 8, 2010 7:19 PM PST reply actions  

It's not the person

it is the rotation. We’re still focused on Samhan and SURPRISE, the staff has failed to adjust to Mickey.

Hopefully Rob is back in

I think the WCC wants 2 teams in the tourney

Those were a couple of HORRIBLE possessions.

Beat up.

Physical gain doesn’t really suit him tonight.

by MedZag on Mar 8, 2010 7:33 PM PST up reply actions  

This crew just doesn't want it

It’s clear that Saint Mary’s as a team just wants it more.

I still think Elias needs to do something for us to win but oh well.

I miss Jeremy Pargo so much in games like this

whether it was good or bad he would take a team on his back.

Wish we had someone like that

I definitely miss Bouldin

not Pargo, though

St Mary's looks pretty cocky for a team that's lost to us twice this year.

But I just don’t see the spark from our team necessary to make a run. They look wiped. They’ve played ONE game in the past week, how can they be gassed???

by MedZag on Mar 8, 2010 7:44 PM PST reply actions  

Samhan just ate up Meech

on that screen.

He's been painfully absent from our set offense the past 4-5 games.

I knew it’d catch up to us at some point.

You don’t relegate a guy of his talent to set screens and deep post up moves where the other team’s double is right nearby.

by MedZag on Mar 8, 2010 7:50 PM PST up reply actions  

these guys just keep going off.

You know, our defense was alright for the first 15 minutes.

But SMC is really shooting lights out tonight, gotta hand it to em.

sigh, im not looking forward to selection sunday now.

by cubesonice on Mar 8, 2010 7:52 PM PST reply actions  

We've seen a lot of teams in the past 10 years waltz into the tournament then crumble when they face some adversity.

Be interesting to see how the team takes this. My gut tells me they’re either headed to a first round exit or an E8+

by MedZag on Mar 8, 2010 7:53 PM PST reply actions  

I dont know why Few took out Olynyk. He was hot. He is usually really solid as well.

by cubesonice on Mar 8, 2010 7:56 PM PST reply actions  

So meech could get stomped on and brick some free throws?

by ijspencer on Mar 8, 2010 7:57 PM PST up reply actions  

He took him out because...

That’s how he do.

What a dumb game this was.
