It is a totally different team than started the season. I could not understand why Bettiol and Dibba were not key starting players that we could construct the offense around while Airion and Madden were turned loose to do their thing. Our two point guards have really matured well, better than I thought they would be. They are critical to the team. Our subs are typically doing a fine job when we keep one or more of the starters in the game as anchors. This team is not one to take lightly, but if they hit a cold spell, we need to turn loose the Maddens and Dibbas to fire it back up.

This team still has a way to go, but they have shown they can't be counted out yet. Over-all, I wasn't as impressed last night as I was on Thursday, but UT was giving us all they could. We still need to rebound better and continue to improve our bench points. Our defense is still not where it used to be but has tightened up. I am liking the rotations much better and am glad the newer guys are maturing. I pray they stick around, and we can get the inside help we need next year. If we don't, we are still facing the same struggles in a league that demands more.

Beating Seattle 64-59 was a real slugfest. Two very talented teams battled it out.

Beating Seattle 64-59 was a real slugfest. Two very talented teams battled it out. That was one tough game. We have another one on Saturday. Pretty much every game, from here out, will be a slugfest...

Seattle was about the fastest opponent we have played. But we adapted and Bettiol played a remarkable game as our undersized post, maybe his best. He pulled down 15 rebounds. This win was a team effort and hopefully a maturing moment where we learned to adapt and rise to the occasion. It was pretty amazing.

Bettiol drives me crazy! He does not realize the Good Lord gave him 2 hands to rebound a basketball. Every time, he goes up with one hand and I am screaming, 2 hands, 2 hands! Yes, 15 rebounds is incredible, but on the season, he is averaging less than 5 rebounds per game. If he would go up with 2 hands, I am telling you, he would average 3-5 more rebounds per game.
On the block, he is money. Game after game he is facing guys that are 2-3 inches taller than him, but he is able to score, sometimes at will.
If he will work on rebounding, he could be a 15 and 10 player in 2025.

Time to finish out the home season on the rising tide of the last several games. Beat UVU (who held us to 45 points last time) and we will have brought back a decent season from a dismal early period. Also, we could get a weaker first game opponent in the tourney (although in the WAC anything can happen.)

Great rally after a rocky start to finish first half with the lead !

Bad shots and poor free throwing killed us. Very frustrating.

Looks like we open the WAC tourney against SFA if I am reading the seeding correctly.

Late start due to overtime between CBU and UVU. Both teams not yet settled in. Lumberjacks making shots and Wildcats rattling out.
We are not looking too well, and its my bedtime... Sure hope for a victory, but that will have to wait until tomorrow and a check on ACUSports.
