Big Sky Basketball Thread - 2015-16

Bengals got the hoped for splir, on the road. Hopefully they can get the sweep this week with winnable games against Sac and PSU.

[Grizalltheway]

I think PSU just made another layup with a cutter through the lane....

Fortunately the Griz figured out how to stop that… eventually. Also, Breunig's patience & precision were even more amazing to watch than usual (he went 13/14).

Gotta love that German efficiency.

A triple-double is nothing to sneeze at, plus the Griz lost a game. The team that gets POTW goes undefeated on the week 90+% of the time.

I know, but when a guy goes 13-14 from the floor, on the road, in a close game, and sets a career high in the process? After netting 20 on Thursday? Come on....

Kind of like when Tyler Hall had two games with over 25 points each, and a guy from Idaho State gets it for scoring over 50 in one game. If Hall isn't first team Big Sky at end of year, that will be a travesty.

Pretty sure a triple-double beats that. The Griz have had, what, two of those in their entire history? And that was NoDak's first.

Is anyone going to go to the UM @ Weber game on the 27th? I am thinking of going. I haven't bought tickets but thinking I want to go. PM me if you are headed to it.

[SDHornet]

Hornets didn’t look good last night, and we had no answer for Bolomboy on either end of the court. Good news is Demps started, he looked rusty though. We just need to get in a groove for the BSCT.
