Earlier in the season we handily whipped ISU and so did UM (by 20.). But in the rematch on Thursday ISU turned it around and whipped the gris by 20. I have a feeling our rematch will be tougher at Pocatello. Go Cats!

Last time ISU led us 19-14 after the first quarter, but we outscored them 30-8 in the second and ran away with a 94-52 win. I don't know-I just got a feeling our grizzled veterans Taylor Janssen, Lexi Deden, and KJ Martin lead us in this one. I thought Deden and Janssen looked a little more like their old selves against Weber State.
Tip off at 2PM in Pokey.

The griz also are with a slowed Dani Barth on Thursday. Amd they only shot 29% from the field. Idaho St wasn't doing so hot until about 2 minutes left in the 3rd. Then all the sudden they found their shot and broke it open. It took the Bengles like 6 minutes or so into the 3rd Q to even make a basket. The griz only had one quarter where they scored more than 11. The 3rd quarter they scored....6.

What happened to Bartsch?
She had a foot/ankle injury early in their game against UNC last Thursday, then didn't play against NAU last Saturday. It must not be anything too major if she was back in the lineup this week.

Any thoughts on the over/under for steals by MSU in this game? Cats have 37 in the last two games....I'll go with 17.5

We have to be less sloppy with the basketball. Picking up the dribble roo soon.

I'd like to see us a little quicker on the trigger taking 3 point shots.

So I've now seen Natalie get called for a travel 3 times doing the same thing. I'd like to see it in slow motion to see what she's doing. All 3 likes she blows past her defender.

ISU either gets a layup or they turn it over...and they've turned it over a lot. Unfortunately, we've turned it over a lot too. But considering how our team is notorious for slow starts-not too bad being up 19-14 at the end of the first quarter.

I think Natalie takes a small step back to propel forward and they get her when the next foot comes up before she starts to dribble.

ISU kid on the floor-already in a knee brace. Hate to see that.

These announcers suck. Ever call against the Bengals is a bad call. They want calls on the Cats when there isn't one.

ISU announcers are hilarious. ISU has never fouled, and gets fouled on every possession. They do know their stuff, just shameless homers.

Did you see what happened? I'm surprised they haven't shown a replay. Noticed the one announcer tried to say she was hit hard then the other one said they don't know what happened.

Apparently can't say Dykstra. Keeps calling her Marah.

Reed Gym has always been one of my favorite venues in the Big Sky.

There was a scramble for the ball and one of her players fell across her legs.
