SDSU vs Northern Colorado 8pm CT Summit Arena at the Monument SLN

[OldHare]

This will be an extra game against the Big Sky. The Bears have Northern State alum Steve Smiley(80-50) as the head coach the past 4 years. Smiley was also an assistant for Don Meyer after graduation in 2004. He spent time as HC in the JC ranks and an assistant at Weber St. He is finding 7 of his players in the portal. UNC(2-1) played Colorado within 2(90-88) for the only loss. The 2 wins are against lower division teams. The Bears play mostly an eight man rotation. They have some decent length and guards that will match size with the Jackrabbits. Northern Colorado is chosen as the 3rd place preseason Big Sky poll, The Jackrabbits will need to keep their game improving to grab the win. Go Jacks!!

Larson and Sayler and ready for this but the other fresh men will have a learning cure.
By the end of the year, they will be better.

That Cluff-Shields matchup is a fun one

Hopefully Bears go polar from deep in 2nd half

Is #11 Block the same guy who fell down on the Mors closeout? Looks like he had a bit of a leg kickout that lingered on his latest three with Sayler on him. Sayler fell down on own of his own 3's, and then #23 Hawthorne fell down on a three in the last minute. Four shots and four shooters on the ground. Would love to see a call one way or the other since I thought flopping was supposed to be called now.

When the 3's aren't falling, run the offense through the Big O.

Really good crowd out there. Bummer if they don't get to see an SDSU win. Just not playing well enough on either end of the floor tonight. Northern Colorado is very good.

[GoJacks2011]

Sayler not having a great night then I think rolls his ankle. Looked to be in a lot of pain.

Once you get past Oscar and Stoney Hadnot, it's hard to find anyone else who played well. Whorton showed some potential as well. There's going to be games like this with all the new faces. Disappointing that Mors, Garry and Barnhardt aren't bringing more to the table.

I think you are right!!! With 5 Fr. playing so far, the guys you mentioned need to bring more to the table. Plus how long might Saylor be out???

Was at the game, no continuity anywhere. Garry has lost confidence offensively, Sayler didn't get any help. Oscar is great, but gasses easily, need to keep him at 20 min/game.

Just need to keep improving, I'd love to see a game in Rapid every year. Very good crowd and engaged.
