  Yes, I must thank ISU for missing all thier freethrows, including one that would have won the game for the Bengals.

I watched the Weber State/PSU game on bigskytv. What a great game. It really looked like PSU was going to comeback for the W. Weber State made some very uncharacteristic mental mistakes down the stretch to open the door for PSU. Kudos to PSU for keeping the wall out of Lilliard''s and Sessions hands the final few minutes.

I seen enough that game to believe pressure against rest of Weber's players can cause some trouble and create some errors. The trick is keeping Lilliard from getting the ball. I really enjoyed watching a full game not involving the GRIZ, too bad the games have to conflict most all the time.

Round 1 goes to Montana, Lady GRIZ 76- Lady cats 67. Let's get the sweep GRIZ. GRIZ 73, Cats 68 is my pick.

UMT 52-61 MSU; Montana guards score just 13 points

Montana looked lethargic that entire game. And after fighting all the way back to just a 1-point deficit, MSU closed with something like a 10-2 run to win the game going away.

AJ missing the front end of two 1-and-1s didn't help. I never thought I'd see that…

Oh, well, the UM bball teams still have a chance to go 3-1 against the 'Cats.
