Re: UW-Milwaukee GDT

why do teams shoot lights out against us?

Re: UW-Milwaukee GDT

6:39 left in the game. Timeout called by UW-M

Grif just hit his third three-pointer. He's the only Jackrabbit to hit a three-pointer tonight.

67-54 UWM

Re: UW-Milwaukee GDT

Jacks inside weakness is absolutely killing this team. The guards have to sag inside to help out on the interior defense, and they can't get back outside quick enough to guard the shooter at the 3-point line.

Final
UW-M 82, SDSU 70

Hard to beat a team shooting three-pointers like that. Darn.

Re: UW-Milwaukee GDT

Reality check:
Jacks start two seniors, a Junior, a Sophomore, and a true Freshman.

Their starting point guard is the sophomore.

Their starting center is the freshman, and he is not a true center.

First off the bench are a sophomore and three more freshmen.

Mama said there would be days like this, until SDSU has a couple of seniors and a couple of juniors starting, and a senior or junior or two coming off the bench.

Yes, This Team Is Still Very, Very Young.

This year will probably be frustrating at times. Some nights these guys will look unbeatable. Some nights they'll look like they couldn't throw a rock into the ocean.

Stay with it . . . stay with it . . .

Re: UW-Milwaukee GDT

The UWMilwaukee coach had a lot of good things to say about SDSU in the press conference that was on channelsurf.com. I think we got a lot of bb left to play. I concur with filbert about the weakness of the inside game, and that left the 3 wide open. Clint Sargent seems to be in slump land on the perimeter and that hurts also. I think 8-2 is nothing to sneeze at, How did the Bison do tonight?

Re: UW-Milwaukee GDT

That was awful. Why we were doubling their post and leaving their shooters wide open I'll never know.

The offense looked like ****.

Rebounding and Griff were good tonight.

That's all I've got.

Re: UW-Milwaukee GDT

It wasn't like all their 3 point shots were uncontested. But you can't expect a team to shoot over 60% from 3-point land. They shot better beyond the 3 than they did inside. But I agree I don't think we needed to double team their big guy.

Re: UW-Milwaukee GDT

I think the Education of Scott Nagy As A D-I Coach continues . . .

He admitted tonight that he gave too much info to his players, and that other teams have effectively scouted what the Jacks were doing to be successful early in the year.

In the D-II years, IMHO he didn't have to change what he did very much--the Jacks mainly just overpowered opponents, mainly with superior execution--just doing what they did, night in and night out. There wasn't much new--it was all execution. In D-II, that works, if you can get enough talent to do it, and Nagy and SDSU could get that near-D-I-level talent to do that.

In the bad years until now, Nagy didn't have the personnel to be able to do much of anything except hunker down and hope for the best. But now there's finally a Jackrabbit roster of true Division I-level talent that Nagy's finally accumulated, and he's now realizing that he can't just keep doing the same thing night in and night out. If you do that, eventually the other coaches in D-I will figure out what you're doing, and they'll figure out how to beat it, and they'll cheerfully beat your brains out.

In some respects, this is Nagy's first year as a real Division I head coach, with a full roster of legitimate Division I players. And it's pretty sobering for me to realize that.

My tagline is still operative . . .

yes this is a young team. at this point in the season iam happy with being 7-2. this team will only get better. who would have thought at this point in the season the men would be 7-2 and the womens team would be below .500. the men are going good, they just ran into a hot shooting team.
