yah...I was on The Shitadel tonight. I'm a consistent drinker of Kool-aid.
My question is this....who goes to the punch bowl again with N.COLORADO getting a point at Montana St?
Also looking at SAN DIEGO as a short line road fave at UC Riverside and COLORADO getting 2 at Oregon St
Thoughts?
KingScorpio is Mr bator brother in Nevada...
Both know there shit about sports..
Both win long term
Let him be.
When you haven’t really played anybody, how impressive is undefeated?
It’s the old Rocky Marciano scenario for Northern Colorado, who boasts a stellar record against dubious competition. Marciano finished his boxing career undefeated, but fighting in a lackluster era, his only real signature win was against Joe Louis, whom scholars estimate was 106 years old at the time.
Perfect through their first six games, the Bears sit in a similar scenario.
They’ve beaten up on the likes of Southern Utah and Texas Southern, and their signature wins have come against Colorado State and Hawaii, programs picked to finish at the bottom of their respective conferences. The Bears were supposed to be cellar-dwellers themselves, but Tad Boyle’s club has all the pundits wondering if they’re for real.
The good news: It’s time we find out.
Well, almost.
Saturday’s matchup between Northern Colorado and Montana could be a sneak preview of March’s Big Sky title game, but first up for the Bears is a stop in Bozeman, where they’ll take on the bumbling Bobcats.
Montana State has looked far from sharp in the early going, with their only wins coming against Colorado Christian and San Francisco. They’re fresh off an 89-66 drubbing at Oregon, against a team the Griz made short work of.
How do Montana State and Northern Colorado match up? The two teams share a couple of similarities.
Both have a one-two scoring threat.
Northern’s backcourt duo of Will Figures and Devon Beitzel has been running circles around opposing guards, combining to score over 31 points a game. For the Cats, guard Erik Rush and forward Bobby Howard have shouldered the majority of the scoring load, averaging nearly 30 points per game between them.
The other similarity? Consistency. With lights-out shooting and shut-down defense, the Bears have been consistent on both ends. Northern has scored exactly 70 points in each of its last three games, while holding their opponents under their season scoring average.’
The Bobcats have also been consistent. Consistently bad.
They’ve been outscored, outrebounded and utterly out of sync. They should be out of luck in this one.
Prediction: Who are these guys? Surprising Northern Colorado bear-ly breaks a sweat, 75-60.
