GDT Bison @ WIU

[bisonfan08]

Well, it's here, conference play officially starts today. Time to really see where this team stacks up. First opponent is the Leathernecks who have notoriously given us problems playing at their place and I don't expect that to change as long as Trenton Massner is there. They don't play with a ton of size so NDSU will have an advantage there but if they continue to double hard in the post like a lot of teams have against NDSU this season we need to be able to make the outside shots to get them away from it. Good news is coming off a game where we did just that, bad news is it was 8 days ago against an NAIA school so hopefully we've kept that momentum.

Keys to watch
1. Is Andrew Morgan still in the doghouse or does he get the start
2. Is Tajavis Miller back out there after the ankle injury - huge boost if he is, especially defensively
3. Do we see Dez McKinney at all, conference play was his target return date

Bison down 35-29 at halftime.
Grant having his way with 20 pts and 13 rebounds. Bison sloppy with the ball and 10 turnovers. Shooting 1-7 from 3.

Morgan is thinking basketball instead of playing basketball. Way too robotic and slow with his moves. Needs to be quicker and decisive when he gets the ball on the post instead of dribbling. He needs to get out of his head.

Apparently Hastreiter is this years' Jackson Knotek. 0 minutes.

Nelson with 20 of our 29 at the half…Hope someone else shows up!

Get Nelson the ball at the free throw line and let him go to work. Western is not doubling anything. (layups and free throws please). We can't hit the broad side of barn (1-12 from 3).

Grant has 33!

but losing by 15 to f#%$^ng Western Illinois!!!! wow. just wow.

why isn't this on ESPN+ WTF. but the women are?

[blackdiamond2]

Our in game adjustments have been horrible this 2nd half.

I am not sure why we are going under all Massner screens...It seems like a bad idea in 2nd half (we should be going over top of all his ball screens and hip pocket everything else).

Big story of game.

We are 1-14 from 3.
They are 10-21 from 3.

Streit starting and getting more minutes then Morgan is hilarisouly bad.
