[MTBig Blue]

Sounds like we have some jitters.

 

[MTBig Blue]

Bad start. 2nd media timeout, MT is behind 10-4. The only good thing is that OSU already has 7 fouls.

 

[subkyle]

Anybody got a link to the game. Im in NC and cant get the game.

 

[SpaceRaider]

espn 3 or the links i posted on the mens board are the only ones I know for video

sorry...

you got the audio I hope

we're not doing much at this point

 

[subkyle]

Yeah got the audio. Very nerve racking over the radio. Sounds like we had some jitters to begin.

 

[MTBig Blue]

Our shooting is atrocious.

 

[SpaceRaider]

23-10

media timeout

seems like I've seen this before...

 

[SpaceRaider]

26-15

pathetic all the way around...

 

[RandallThomason]

That was a rough half to watch. Hope we can make a run.

[SpaceRaider]

ten players used in first half...looking for anybody that can get the scoring started...

 

[altshauf]

Forgot there was a separate board for the women. We have been horrible. We need some offense...

 

[ProudestRaider]

I've seen better junior high games. Both teams looking absolutely pitiful. Looks like another 1 and done tourney appearance.

 

[altshauf]

Kinda curious why we don't try and get into some transition and get an easy basket? Dick seems like he is asleep. Completely uninteresting.

 

[subkyle]

I am glad you said that about Dick. I hate listening to that guy.

 

[altshauf]

Yeah, he has been there a LONG time at Middle, but man it is just so hard. He would be a great full time post game host (like in football), and a coach's show guy. He is one loyal dude, just wish I didn't have to listen to him in an important game.

 

[SpaceRaider]

41-26

can 't hit broad side of a barn...

 

[altshauf]

We haven't even mounted a run. How are we a top 20 team? Short answer... We aren't.

 

[MTLover]

Why is it so painful being Blue Raider fan

 

[SpaceRaider]

stick a fork in the women

embarassing 'performance' on national stage. First round of NCAA is to CRI what any round of a conference tourney is to CKD.

 

[ProudestRaider]

As long as we continue to put out performances like this, I think we can expect to keep getting the seeds we get. Definitely not good for our perception moving forward.

 

[altshauf]

Wow, we got a steal...

 

[altshauf]

You know what? Next year why don't we just decline the invite to the NCAA? That way we don't have to put up with this crap every year. Way to show NO HEART once again.

we're playing like a 16th seed playing uconn or notre dame.

 

[altshauf]

I already know what Insell is going to say. Thats why I could care less. No excuses, just played out of character. Proud of the girls. etc, etc. At some point you have to figure out how to win on the national stage. Until then you aren't a top 50 program. YOU HAVENT WON AN NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME IN OVER 7 YEARS.

 

[altshauf]

buncha frauds.

 

[MT-PAIN]

Damn. Basketball at MT is awful during tourney time.

 

[altshauf]

Hopefully everyone enjoyed the trip and saw all the sights they could. I almost want them to stay longer an soak it all in. Maybe stay and watch the next game. Heck, they already watched 1 game played (mt v osu), they may as well watch a second game. Maybe they can appreciate hard work from the regular season carrying over to the post season.
I have been big on Kermit's consistent 3-4 year improvement of the mens team. I think we can call the Insell tenure um...stagnant.

 

[C-Bow]

Man that was hard to watch...

[weatim]

Not real surprised. I have thought this was an over achieving group all season. No dependable perimeter shooters. Heck, Keke got almost a fourth of her 3's in one game! A great post player in Rowe but other than that, just a nice group of role players but not what you need to make an NCAA run. Hopefully next year we will have more star quality players because we had only one this year and that just is not enough.
