Cats vs undefeeatted Dawgs

[pissclams]

great game. i’ve long given up on the idea that this team is going to the tournament or win a bunch of games, but it was great to see them fight.

they seem to be (slowly) figuring things out

[EMAWzifried]

Had the game won and gave it away at the foul line and two turnovers for breakout layups late in regulation. And just to underline the problems, the continued to miss free throws in OT and made another TO for layup. JFC.

Who knew that my guy N'Guessan would be the only dude who can hit his free throws?

I mean we really lost it when we got down 29-9

[EMAWzifried]

We had the lead when we made the bad turnovers and missed FTs, so no.

should have had a bigger lead

They'd find a way to blow it. More volleyball out front, more bricks at the line.

This is gonna be a looooooooooooooong season, my friends.

The evening was not a total loss.  My other alma mater, UMKC, beat Wichita State by 10 on the road.

Probably the only one on this site to have seen us lose in person to Drake in football (1981) and basketball (tonight)

What's going on with the weird bump on the upper lip of the powercat on center court? Did someone lose a bet? Is someone getting a new tattoo?

Whoa, I basically sat right next to Tom last night. 

[Stupid Fitz]

eff you, Hawkins, you weak MF'er.

heard "give the money back" multiple times in my section last night. 

[michigancat]

Hawkins was great last night

yeah, but he missed some free throws so he should give back the money they gave him Rusty.

[Cire]

Hausen is not a good basketball player

Yea he's our stud for sure. Seems like his conditioning has improved quite a bit.

Crowd pushed hard in the 2nd half.

Utterly clueless to start the game.  Finally figured out that they had to stop two guys - almost got it done.

The 5 out is at times is a complete cluster - at times we're pushed clear out to mid court.

Gassed at the end - the guys the most gassed were the guy(s) on a podcast complaining about conditioning and "just getting a run in at home" earlier this year.

I have LBBIQ, but I think he can be useful. he can get hot and he helps spread the floor out a bit since you can't leave him. I'm not sure he is in the top 5 of our problems, but I could be swayed either way.

Agree about the crowd. They were one D stop from really blowing the doors off. I swear like 3 times they would score and the crowd would get really loud and stand and then they would immediately give up a layup on the other side and everyone would sit down. It was almost hilarious to see people stand up and then immediately sit back down.

Yep, my group (sitting 2 rows behind a large portion of the 1977 Big 8 Championship team, which included a long time P5 high major assistant and high tier mid major head coach) were like an accordion.

Drake responded almost every single time

He is what I feared about Taryn Sides but she's the real deal. Yeah, he can shoot but I'm not sure he can do anything else. He can't get himself open, he can't guard anyone, he can't create. That last play call of regulation would have been a great play call with an actual more rounded offensive threat so it was easier to defend. In retrospect we should have run that ghost screen with Hawkins.

[pissclams]

he had a good game, wouldn’t say great

i can’t understand why tang is running the offense through him twenty five feet from the basket.  he shouldn’t be touching the ball out there and it’s slowing the team further down from getting into the offense.  by the time the ball gets back to the wing, we’re at eighteen/nineteen seconds on the shot clock which then defaults the offense to max jones breaking down his defender or some version of a turnover/low percentage play.

i’d like to see him play iso in the high post or at least within the arc.


what our fans don’t realize is that he’s just as frustrated as they are.  it was wild to watch/hear him getting into it with the fans around me last night.  DURING THE GAME WHEN THE BALL WAS LIVE. he screamed at one of them that he’d be doing more if his teammates were getting him the ball more.  yikes. he’s an emotional player, take the good with the bad.  our guy DNG spent more of his time than he should trying to keep him focused last night.

he’s fun to watch and good at basketball.

The final play of regulation coming out of a timeout was a microcosm of this season and team.

That we're light on talent, yeah. Hausen isn't a top 3 option on any high major tournament team. We have the talent of a very good mid major.
