The greatest day in February!
Both the men and women pick up wins on the same day in February...and against two very good North Dakota teams. I just can't believe it. Great job teams!

Re: The greatest day in February!
I just did a bit of checking and believe that tonight's win gives MSU its first two game win streak in February since it beat PSU and Sac State on February 13 and 18, 2010.

Re: The greatest day in February!
The key to the men's win: 28-32 from the line. Bad free throw shooting cost them a road win at EWU-good see them get that fixed. Huse said they've spent a lot of time in the gym just shooting lately. Good concept, let's keep that up!

Re: The greatest day in February!
All of a sudden, MSU is 7-6 in league play with seven left to play and they own a win over a team they are tied with who has an NBA prospect.

Everyone might look back at that atrocious 79-50 loss to Eastern Washington last week and remember it as the turning point in the season. In a good way.

Re: The greatest day in February!
Agreed Colter, I think we all thought (I know I did) that this particular team was right on script...and we may still fall apart...but these last 2 games the guys have shown a desire to win games that they very easily could have folded up and lost. Maybe the only difference is shots going in vs. not, but it just felt like they were going to find a way to lose both those games, and instead found a way to win them. Hope they can continue with this new trend, rather than reverting to the old! That was some performance from the stripe last night coming down the stretch, those were being shot with confidence.Colter_Nuanez wrote:Everyone might look back at that atrocious 79-50 loss to Eastern Washington last week and remember it as the turning point in the season.

Re: The greatest day in February!
I was at the game. They shot the ball well and made FT's (28-32). Had a nice plan to spread out there defense and play some zone as UND is very perimeter strong. Bigelow and Colbert did a nice job of keeping every calm when UND cut the lead from 20 to 5 in about 3 minutes. Colbert really looked confident, hit a couple tough shots from the perimeter and looked like he had ice water in his veins at the line. Davis played really strong inside, went to the basket to finish. And let me tell you, Holm is legit. The Sioux left him open a couple time to start the game and he made them pay. Also took the ball to the hole hard in the second half for a big two. He's capable of playing physical as a true freshman...has a nice strong body for a youngster. Egwounou had some nice flashes as well, took the ball hard at the basket. His focus at times is questionable but when he locks in he's a difference maker. The Cat's tried pounding it inside as they definitely had the advantage in the paint. UND spread the floor to try and take advantage of their obvious perimeter advantage. The Cats rebounded well (besides a couple long boards off long threes at the end of the game) and for the most part really controlled the paint. The key to me was Bigelow and Colbert in particular keeping every on an even keel when UND made their big run and the crowd was rocking. I have no allusion of grandeur that this team is going to go on a 7-0 run to end the conference season, but if they can play the way they did last night---work the ball for good shots inside out (AND MAKE SHOTS), control the glass, and take care of the ball (they did have a few poor turnovers last night), they'll compete with any team in the conference just fine. A team with a strong perimeter game (UND or Weber in particular), will be a "backwards" matchup so to speak and will give them problems. I think Weber's perimeter will give everyone trouble though, plus they have the bigs to do damage inside.
