Re: Coach Rocky Cage

Bozeman, MT- Today the Montana St Bobcats made a surprising move by going into Columbia, S.C. and taking one of coach Brian Cupp's top assistants. Rocky Cage played 4 years under Coach Cupp at the University of Nevada, where he left with a 15.8 career scoring avg and 5 school records including career points scored (1975) fg % (.60) Free throws made (463) and Field goals (749) his 5th record was single season fg % (.63). A 6th, most dunks in a career is likely though not confirmed. Cage had hopes of an NBA career but a bad traffic accident injuring both knees ruined his NBA dream. Instead he traveled to Columbia with is old Coach and spent one season there, he quickly established himself as a top notch recruiter and Montana St. took notice and brought him in. he signed a 2 year deal worth just over 115k a year.

Re: Coach Rocky Cage

Montana st gave Coach Cage a fantastic effort to start the season this afternoon. the Bobcats jumped out to a 37-24 halftime lead due in large part to 7-9 shooting from behind the arc in the first half and only 1 turnover.

the Bobcats were led by senior Branden Johnson who netted 15 points and 4 rebounds on the night. 2 others were in double figures Navarre 12 and Piepoli 12

State had a big week ahead coming up vs Savannah st on tuesday then albany on friday.

Coach Cage also has several young recruits visiting Campus this weekend:

Clinton Wilmont a 6'3 guard and also Idaho's Mr Basketball this season along with Owen Montague also 6'3 and a guard and also the Mr Basketball in the state of Montana. Both are 3* prospects

Re: Coach Rocky Cage

Montana tribune: Coach Cage, how do you feel about your teams performance tonight?

cage: well to be honest im f'n pissed, im pretty sure our opponents tonight will be lucky to win another game considered they could only beat us by 6. we couldn't rebound, we couldn't shoot, and we just plain sucked. thats all i have to say for now ive got to get to the the locker room.

That was the outburst on the sidelines after the Bobcats suffered a loss to Savannah st last night. the Bobcats were led again in scoring by brenden Johnson who ended with 18 points and 7 rebounds but he struggled early from the field and only finished 6-17 for the night.

Savannah was led by their freshman guard Keireer Richards who ended with 17 points, their junior pf Rashad hassan grabbed an impressive 13 rebounds.

Montana st had a late chance at victory when Marquis Navarre was fouled on a 3 point attempt down 56-51 with 56 seconds remaining but he only made 2 of the 3 free throws. state quickly fouled and savannah missed back to back front ends but they grabbed the offensive rebound each time sealing the bobcats fate.

Albany will visit Worthington Arena on friday night

Re: Coach Rocky Cage

Montana tribune: Coach, How do you feel about your teams dismal performance tonight?

cage: well to be honest its about as bad as your newspaper, this loss was on me not my team. ive got improvements to make and will make some changes. i hope your newspaper puts forth the same effort!!!!!!

Montana st dropped their 2nd in a row last night. Brenden Johnson continued to be the best player on the court netting 16 points, 2 other bobcats scored in double figures Howard 14 and Anderson 12. but the team could not overcome a 4-13 behind the arc and only 5-12 at the free throw strip.

it appears to this reporter that the team has taking on the same crappy attitude as the head coach. they need to get some wins and get them fast....

Re: Coach Rocky Cage

the boo birds came out of the rafters as Montana st. dropped their 3rd consecutive game wednesday night at Worthington Arena. Depth was a major factor as their only true big man Cody Anderson, already nursing a sore knee grabbed, 3 quick fouls in teh first half, then got his 4th 1 minute into the 2nd. the small frontcourt of MSU was promplty abused by UMBX pf Adrian Satchell who finished with 22 points and 8 rebounds.

the bobcats were led in scoring by Eric Rush whom came off the bench to tally 13 points. Brenden Johnson again scored double figures 12.

Utah Valley St (0-4) will visit the Arena Saturday afternoon.

Early signing starts in just 11 days so hopefully Coach Cage can get a good start on building some depth for the program.

Re: Coach Rocky Cage

You should be able to turn it around... A soft HOme OOC schedule like that and you should hit .500 by conference play... Hopefully

[baccVols]

Re: Coach Rocky Cage

Turnovers were the downfall of the Bobcats tonight. after trailing much of the first half they went on a 14-0 run to go up 45-36, but the wolves responded with a 16-0 run and never looked back

aaron England led the way for the wolves with 15 points 4 assists and 4 steals

Bobby Howard was the lone brightspot for the bobcats, as he netter 17 points.
