Predictions:
Eagles beat Yotes 73-77 (+4) Massey Eagles beat Yotes 70-75 (+5) WN
Griz beat Yotes 69-76 (+7) Massey Griz beat Yotes 65-77 (+12) WN

I look at the lines and laugh. I have no idea if we'll win by 15 or lose by 20. Might be that kind of year

Agreed. My prediction is a team wearing South Dakota jerseys takes the court. Anything else is a mystery at this point.

The open looks from three are amazing. No defensive effort at all. On pace to give up over 100 but everyone seems pretty ok with it.

I'm turning on the girls game. Maybe they'll play defense.

GATA must have a different definition than what I remember it being??

Our defense is atrocious. Pretty much what I expected. I'll expect losses until they prove me wrong.

Much better effort down the stretch but not enough. That ewu team can really shoot and they are huge.

We have to be one of the worst defensive Coyotes Teams i can remember and that's going back to the 80's

Officiating is like a tournament game tonight. Montana is being really physical and we're not getting calls. They are more athletic though. Switching screens and challenging passes on the perimeter. So far we haven't been able to do much offensively.

I don’t even know what we are trying to do offensively. It appears to me our guys who should be our “shooters” never get the ball in a good position to score or rhythm. Ball typically stalls as soon as we get over half court. Put the ball in Stewarts hands and let him get down hill and kick. Create for others and himself. As an example Burchills best chance to score would be from 3. Instead he is going to the hole unable to finish or kick. Not bad mouthing effort just put the ball in your athletes hands. We have better talent than we look and at some point Peterson has to look in the mirror and realize what we are trying to do now not only isn’t working but it’s not even close to working.

That's kind of where I'm at. I think this is a pretty talented Yotes team top to bottom. Peterson just doesn't have them playing good basketball and it's pretty disappointing. It doesn't have me real excited to get to the SCSC to watch them.

We're getting beat on size and athleticism tonight. They're athletic enough to challenge every shot including the 10 or so around the rim that we missed in the first half. Shooting 28 pct to their 45. Can't win that way.
We really have no apparent offensive plan. It honestly looks like pick up ball mist of the time. Part of the problem is we just can't finish shots against their longer players. We aren't shooting well enough from outside to counter it. Effort has been there but I think we're playing against a superior team. Our squad won't win many of those this year because we're not particularly good at anything, offensively or defensively
