Your idea of have someone like Tompkins in the backfield with Maier and all the crazy options it could create is a wild but brilliant idea! I love to see something as creative as that.

Will the GNAC continue with just 4 members?

Sounds like a human dynamo!

Thanks for your post. There's usually more to the story than meets the eye. Looking forward to a great ball game Saturday.

Ags lose 62-56 in what I think is the worst performance by this team this year and here's why: They are living and dying by the 3 ball and yet they are a poor 3 point shooting team. We came into the game shooting a paltry 28% from downtown and were 10-40 for 25% today. To top that off we blew several wide open looks from 3 feet. There was essentially no interior penetration by the Aggies... just swinging the ball around the perimeter until someone launched a 3 and the irony of it all was that Montana got lucky and banked in a poorly shot 3 ball to put them up by 4 with about a minute to go.

Our opponents are going to jam up the interior in every game because they know we will settle for a 3 point shot and don't shoot well from 3. We also had poor transition defense which allowed Montana to come back from 6 down to tie the game. Bessolo did not score in either game and Hall and Konrad had 4 and 2 points respectively today.

Jen Gross has some problems on her hands in trying to figure out what can be different. Outside of Bertsch the scoring from anyone else has been sporadic and now we have become a one dimensional team that relies on Bertsch to carry the bulk of the scoring and 3 point shots that generally don't fall. That's not working and we have become very predictable.

We are now 9-36 from 3.

Jen Gross need to get after her team about playing more aggressively and going after the rebound with more assertiveness. Too often this team stands and watches the shot come off the rim and simply gets beat to the ball. That's a very bad habit to get into in basketball.

Ags lead 30-25 at the half despite shooting 4-18 from 3.

We're living and dying by the 3...only shooting 20% from downtown

18-12 Griz after the 1st. Ags playing ragged basketball. Montana is playing much better defense.

Poor shooting is plaguing this team again...

:up: :up: :up:

Thanks! I found it and got the page to open. On Safari I went to the drop down menu under the main Safari heading and chose "Setting for this website" and opened that window. Then deselected "Enable content blockers." I imagine it works the same way for Chrome.

Where do you find the "disable unsafe plugins?"

I've tried to get the live stream via Safari and Chrome and neither one will load the page. I keep getting an error message that says, "The connection has been temporarily lost." Same thing happened yesterday. Big Sky TV is messed up!

Will the Aggies come into the EWU game with a chip on their shoulders after the beat down by the Eagles previously and the fact that their HC, Aaron Best, had Barriere throw another TD with 41 seconds to go in the game when they were ahead by 32 points?

Best continued that trend of running up the score in the following week when the Eagles trounced Portland State 74-23. His willingness to keep his starters deep into the game and pour it on has not gone unnoticed by the Weber State head coach, Jay Hill:

No. 2 Weber State head coach Jay Hill, in an apparent shot at Eastern Washington’s Aaron Best, said “We don’t blow people out to get style points. We don’t believe in that. It’s not ethical.” …In the final two games of the regular season, Eastern played its starters late into the game in wins of 59-20 over the Aggies and 74-23 over Portland State. Against UCD, Eastern’s starting quarterback threw a touchdown pass with just 41 seconds left and the Eagles leading, 52-20. Said Best, “Our motto was ‘Leave No Doubt,’ and we did that all year.”

I think that might have been his reaction to the questionable FG. I don't think I've ever heard the Aggie fans voice their displeasure at the refs so loudly after the replay showed the the FG was probably wide. It was an awesome job by the Aggie faithful giving the refs a long and loud earful of boos and other more explicit remarks. Awesome!
