At this point in MAC play, anyone is capable of getting a WIN.

Only 5.5 point favorites. At this point they are all a little scary. Loss here would be quite upsetting, I am hopeful the guys will come out and stomp them.

Central comes in as the No. 2 defensive team in the MAC. I think 'Cats will make enough shots, but they have to rebound as a team. Defensively, stopping the ball is paramount. The lone lock in the conference tonight is Akron at home against Northern. That leaves the Zips undefeated coming to The Convo on Saturday.

Their big man from Cal State Bakersfield might have a 30-30 night, but hopefully they can contain everyone else.

The big Lithuanian is a problem agreed. That's the kind of big man Coach Boals has to find in the portal.

Yes and yes.

I'm worried about Jacobi Heady having a big game. On top of that, our staff probably knew about him when he was in the portal but CMU got him.

I talked with the Brazilians at the OU Inn last night. They are pumped and plan to do a lot of cheering.

Hopefully AJC is taking some notes on how to play inside.

Do OUr guys outside of Shereef Mitchell give a s#%t anymore? I can't tell. Seriously. The MOJO of this team is crap. Reef seems to care and his teammates just look bored. If this is our new MO then clean house including Boals. Hell, even Jay Preston is bringing me down with his less than excited color commentary.

At this point in the season, Mitchell is the team's best player. Clayton, Pav, and Brown can all get hot, but Reef is the one we need to start playing through. The only one who can consistently shoot, drive, and defend.

I give Clayton credit for trying but dang is it tough to watch him be a shell. Vic is the answer. Play him 30 mins and AJ 10 mins.

I’d like to see both get 20/20. AJC just isn’t contributing the way he should.

I'll never understand having trouble with CMU Basketball. This should never even be a fair fight.

With Miami going to lose, and Toledo trailing, we need a win tonight...

Beginning to think Elliot is our most important piece to retain this offseason. He just provides a different element that nobody else has.

I wouldn't take Shereef out the rest of the half.

How many throat punches does Elijah have to take before he gets that call?

100%

Keep Dusty May away. May recruited Elliott to FAU before bolting for Michigan.

This game is showing just how poor we are defensively. Never move our feet. Always foul.

Somebody has to explain to me why Boals will not bring Elliott back into the game in the last six minutes when he was one of the best players on the floor in the second half. And yes I know he had four fouls. Ridiculous to sit him for rest of game. Don’t get it.
