Homer refs would have let Dorsey tack on a couple more for a technical foul on the douchebag who bear hugged him
Have to agree.
But this was not the Griz's finest hour. They let a really crappy team hang around right to the end ... and could have lost with one call going the other way. Happy for the win, but worried about what it says about the mentality of the team.
Hopefully, this will be another good "teaching moment" for the staff.
You do realize they did this without Akoh, right? Not very good depth behind him and guys did what they had to do. Beat them with essentially one hand behind our back and they had the advantage of 2 solid post players against our fill-ins. They took away Rorie, Oguine and there was no Akoh and we still beat them with Pridgett, Morehead and Dorsey.
I certainly do. But EWU is an 8-15 team ... meaning, not very good (being charitable). As I said, I'm happy for the win, but it's worrisome that the inability of one player to contribute (play) means the Griz barely win against a really crappy opponent. Other players stepped up
just enough tonight, at home, to win. But how far will they get when they meet a team that has a player who can neutralize or match Akoh? Bottom line: The other Griz players need to elevate their games (more).
