2022-2023 Bearcats: A New Era

[Alfred33]

This team plays a little different offensively than some of the prettier offenses we've had in the past that were predicated on crisp ball movement and making shots. I am curious to see what our efficiency numbers look like compared to some of those teams that were getting recognized outside of Maryville... we're still scoring at a pretty good clip. We move the ball with our motion to initiate, but rather than a lot of movement around the perimeter and outside shooting (we still do this some of this with pick and pop's, etc.), but the ball stops more and guys are looking to create off of dribble penetration. I'm not being critical... it's just interesting and shows that we've adjusted to our strengths. Diego and Isaiah are slashers, Luke still turns down a lot of open 3's and looks to drive, Stirtz also probes the defense with the dribble quite a lot. Diego and Stirtz are really good at finding people off the drive, whether it's kickouts or dump-offs for layups. Diego still gets going a little too fast occasionally, but he has really stepped up his offensive game and played well so far this year... leading by example.

NW hands Hays their 2nd loss 64-49 in a tough defensive battle. Hays had over a week off, NW less than 24 hrs off. DB was on fire again

[NWFanatic]

NW men over UNK 84-74. Lead was about 20 when Ben pulled the starters. 5 ‘Cats in double figures and props to Luke who topped 1,000 career pts. Tough 1 today vs 7-1 Ft Hays with less than 24 hrs rest.

Did Trevor Hudgins ever get a dunk during his playing days at NW?

He used to put some down in warmups every now and then, but I don't remember if he actually ever attempted one in a game. I watched him play Monday on YouTube. Broadcaster said on several occasions that he's made the most 3 pointers in the G-League... granted he's probably attempted the most or close to it, but range is definitely not an issue. He makes a ton of good passes, some pretty slick... they didn't always finish, but he looks like he belongs.

Just realized NW scheduled back-to-back games this weekend vs UNK and FHSU! Saturday 3:30 pm and Sunday 3:30 pm. Why in the hell would we do a bonehead thing like that?

Graduation?

What NWMO has done is absolutely remarkable IMO. They lose two players in the last two years that, in no way, belong in D2…..and once again they haven’t missed a beat! I agree…when will a big time D1 AD hire this guy! Sounds like he’s been involved with some smaller D1’s, but elected to stay…who can blame him?

often after Luke scored the announcers said ‘Waters is wet’. They were complimentary of the size/sound of the NW crowd and also talked a lot about NW’s recent accomplishments

I like that, Waters is wet.

Sorry to burst your NW Fans Offended bubble...just about every broadcast the previous two years I viewed as a Pitt fan and they consistently mispronounced Pitt's players names too and the quality of their game calls has gotten worse.

Don’t be sorry. My bubble is still properly inflated. It can’t be popped by a stick that is stuck in the mud :) was just trying to have some fun. I’ll move along.

[libertybearcat]

Ugh, it’s the one where the NW fans get offended by the opposing broadcasters. Seen this one when it aired last year :)

That actually sounds pretty entertaining! Haha

Lol! This wasn’t offensive… it was comical until it became annoying.
