    In response to BUPilot

I was at Mckale Center for the game. Some observations

-Over 7500 attendance with less than 100 Bison fans. No Bison band or mascot so I was worried before the game

-this was a very physical game with the Cats trying to intimidate the Bison but our guys responded in kid and played a very tough game

-while we had some bad calls, we were also the beneficiary of some bad calls in our favor

-I think the Cats were surprised at our height and athleticism. Moose has a few inches on Az's tallest guy.

-while the stats will show rebounds about even, I felt that we dominated the boards and the inside game

-no question Moose was the best player on the floor. On several occasions he fought for the offensive rebound, was mugged but managed tonged the shot off.

-I'm not a big fan of Paulson but tonight he ran some offensive schemes that were very impressive, particularly with Moose and Willman running a high low post to open up Moose and also a few screens between Johnson to get Willman open in the corner.

-with about 4 minutes left in the first half the crowd started getting into and the guys looked a bit rattled for a few possessions but quickly recaptured their composure

-the crowd stood for the balance of the first half and all of the second half

-we were the better team tonight. it wasn't luck but skill and execution. I was proud of our guys and glad I made the trip

Now on to Nevada
