***OFFICIAL: We got the monkey off our back thread!***

Dude. I'm totally enjoying a great road win. I'm just pointing out that we've had some tough losses because some guy that has hit 2 three pointers all year all of the sudden hits 5 against us. For once, we were smiled on with Jackson's poor shooting. Just acknowledging it. Relax!

Got ya. Sorry. Misinterpreted what you wrote.
 
Only posting to call out the guy who I quoted in my sig...

his first prediction is wrong., Let hope he keeps the streak going..
 
Your absolutely right. I really don't see where Lunardi puts teams as locks in his bracketology? Are the lock teams in CAPS?
No but I'm not sure what the CAPS do mean. He has teams in caps that are not locks at all like Montana and a few others.
 
Well then, I have to disagree with Joe Lunardi. Listen, I am estatic that we won tonight. But, I feel like we have more work to do before we are a lock. Just a rational thought.

I'm continually amazed at the number of people who don't understand that being in today is much different than being a lock.
 
Not 100% sure on this, but I believe the CAP teams are the automatic qualifiers of the conference tournament champion.

I believe that the CAPS denotes those teams that he feels will be the automatic qualifiers from low-major conferences like the Big Sky, whom Montana is a part of.
 
No Defensive Stops Last 2:25

Watched the last 2:25 over and Baylor scored on all of their last 8 possessions! Only time they didn't score was when Jackson missed both free throws. If we are going to continue to win on the road/tournaments, we have to string some defensive stops together. No more easy layups unbelievable !
 
Re: No Defensive Stops Last 2:25

This is what happens when you have no post defenders and only 2 above average perimeter defenders in Bubu and Babb.
 
Re: No Defensive Stops Last 2:25

Agree to agree. Our defense is not solid. IMO Clyburn shouldn't be all conference specifically because of his defensive play.
 
Meh, pretty much all those points were from Jackson. We let him have his tonight and pretty much shut down everyone else. That's what needed to happen.
 
Re: No Defensive Stops Last 2:25

This post is not unbelievable. We just happened to shoot well enough to be up 8 to 10 instead of 4 to 5. Shooting a high percentage is more random than playing good defense.

Therefore, it would have been more encouraging to see good end of game defense being played to see we improved on flaws of past games. Posting comments doesn't have to be all or nothing. Just because we won doesn't mean we are now perfect, nor when we lose does it mean we did nothing good. It's always somewhere in between.

Our defense sends me up a tree, but we are just not going to be a team that strings together 4-5 stops when the game's on the line. Puts immense pressure on our offense/shooters, but I think that's basically who we are at this point (although I will not stop pulling my hair out).
 
These guys are so much fun to watch on offense but they scare me to death on defense when its crunch time.
