"From snowy Anchorage, AK!"

In three minutes all our glaring deficiences

Bad D rebounding, bad shooting, bad 3-pt defense

I'm cooking and listening to the announcers.

Darn hosting my first thanksgiving tomorrow. Anyone here ever brine a turkey before?

Anyway, we need to get our act together, rebound and pull away. With multiple games over a few days, this needs to be easy. My 2 cents, back to cooking.

I love Alaska

Going there is like going back in time 10-20 years ago.

As evidenced by their TV production…

I never got why UAA isn't just "Alaska"

And then Alaska-Fairbanks could be “Alaska State”.

Does that make too much sense?

Not sure why I think about these things.

by Grady. on Nov 25, 2009 8:55 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Because when they were founded, Alaska wasn't a state?

Don’t actually know if that is true, it sounds good.

Kyle’s offensive improvement from year 1 to 4 was phenomenal… not sure we’re gonna see that from Marcus

hey, just my opinion

and i LOVE Weaver’s game

by coug2828 on Nov 25, 2009 9:19 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

We all like Weaver's game

She was great in the Alien movies and she is in the upcoming James Cameron blockbuster Avatar.

Kyle Weaver is not bad either.

Rough half

But up 8… so not the end of the world

It’s just that we should be better than this. Especially on defense

Anyone have a boxscore?

I’m trying to figure out why exactly we’re not blowing these guys out.

Have a feeling it has to do with perimeter shooting

Reggie's gotta get more agressive

I’ve decided part of the problem in the first half was starting XT/Harthun over Moore/Capers

by Grady. on Nov 25, 2009 9:44 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

i like the idea of harthun

more than i like him now that i see him play…maybe he is just sleepy.

Would like to see Motum and Bjornstad get in

We are going to need some more big guys playing this year and what better game to get them in than agains DII competition.

It’s Motum/Watson time.

I think the win counts

Unlike LCSC which is NAIA

I was wondering about that.

Our win against Central didn’t count a few years ago though.

Part of it is

We have our top 3: Klay, Casto, Moore.

Then our clear rotation guys: X, Nik, Capers, Lodwick

After that, there’s not much of a gap in talent between #s 8 and 15.

by Grady. on Nov 25, 2009 10:01 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Changing the mindset from defense to offense is weird...

I was worried that the game was getting to close and then in like 2min we are almost up by 20pts lol

by james_WSU on Nov 25, 2009 9:58 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Okay it is Motum time.

With a side of Bjornstad

I see Alaska has a player that weighs 265

Why has almost all of our bigs the last few years been the Cowgill, Motum, Enquist and Bjornstad types instead of the Baynes types?

by Coug1990 on Nov 25, 2009 10:01 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Tony LOVED his tall skinny white guys

Not sure why… part of it is that maybe that’s all we could get.

Chris Henry was a big guy but had too many back issues to make an impact. Baynes was just awesome. But that’s about hit.

by Grady. on Nov 25, 2009 10:03 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Boeke was another skinny player

There are physical guys out there. Idaho’s big is a player that Tony was scouting.

and go on run after run…klay or no klay. hopefully it is them not just getting up for this game or being the first road game

how can a shooter miss some many 3’s… especially WIDE OPEN ones…

by james_WSU on Nov 25, 2009 10:09 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

i hear ya

but at some point you arn’t a shooter…hopefully he will get it together some time this season…remember Daven was a Pac-10 player of the week guy…twice i think. Abe is shooting 10% so he has never shown he can hit at this level. We could use it though.

Him and Harthun apparently are only shooters in practice

How do Cougs have no inside game

They have the size and length, they should be dominating inside.

Perspective

UAA = 17,000 students
WSU = 24,500 students

So they aren’t really a tiny school….

Now having said that the effort tonight has been pretty bad

by Grady. on Nov 25, 2009 10:10 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

good point

it feels…and maybe this is because it looks like the game is playing played in a doom on the moon there is no intensity or effort.

by donkeyjon12 on Nov 25, 2009 10:12 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

This team is Klay Thompson

I don’t know if we can expect a consistent effort from anyone else

i expect that vs. quality

but our guys should all be hungry to dominate against a D2 school

At least Enquist is rebounding

But then he turns it over and commits a foul

I feel like the question was more generic though...

Because to call that a dance team is to shame dance teams everywhere. So generic student body, do we win a dance off? I vote yes, for I did some fine dancing at valhalla while soderly tober back in the day.
