I called him #TheUpgrade after 3 games pointing out the differences from the previous two years and I got laughed at. Even Stevie Wonder could see what you are talking about early in the season.

Looks like Bobcats and the Zips key matchup later this weekend will be played without Josiah Harris. Harris is an important starter for Akron. Harris started the first six games for Akron, but got hurt and has not played since. Advantage Bobcats.

Couldn't watch tonight, but like that Reef line. Looks like he's moving in the right direction. Very efficient 12pts and 4 steals is a helluva line off the bench.

Laughed at? My man, we were all extremely uncomfortable and called a BA.com meeting to vote on whether we needed to call the Czech authorities to make sure you weren't living in the bushes outside of Wiz's apartment.

He's gone. Move on.

Why is it so uncomfortable to point out the differences between #TheUpgrade and what we had previously? Didn’t you go on record last game and say you don’t understand why people were wanting Elliott to get more minutes? Well, you know what Elliott did tonight? He had the biggest play of the game with the steal and one-handed slam. That one play changed all momentum. You can discuss that at your next BA.com meeting.

Tuned in on the radio but missed first few minutes of the second half.

AJ Brown didn't seem to get much time during the 2nd half after being a strong scorer in the first--What gives?

On the radio it seemed like Pav took over the game in the last 5-7 minutes really turning on the scoring with numerous drives and free throws.

Toledo was up on Zips by 12 at half and lost the second half by 20!

Zero complaints except for as you mentioned Boals playing Brown only six minutes in the second half. I would rather have had Brown in there in the last five minutes than Elmore. Don’t think it’s anything injury related.

Looks like the Athletics department is asking everyone on the bench side to wear white and everyone on the student/band side to wear green tomorrow. I don't recall them ever attempting this. We'll see how it goes, I will be sure to comply and wear white.
Participation was pretty lame. Prolly because only one days notice. Or many like me - I have only One Bobcat gear that is white, a cap, so I wore that. Personally I would Never buy white jacket, pullover, polo, sweatshirt etc - Mustard/Ketchup etc. always seems to find a way onto early game.....

Also you won't hear sh** through the stream because the nat sound is embarrassingly bad, has been for years and never seems to get better.
ESPN+ is not free. Why do they put up with the horrible audio BS?

You have to crank it way up and then a commercial comes on blasting at the level of Black Sabbath concert. Yes, the audio has been crap forever. Why can't the quality of the audio match the picture quality?
ESPN provides us the uplink and we can use their audio and video package. The quality of the production from an equipment standpoint is up to us (right?)
100% correct, and must provide the people to run the equipment.

I will never complain because I’m just thankful we can watch the games. But I’m always amazed how the productions are so much better at other schools across the MAC. How they can’t figure out the audio issue with crowd noise being so low and commercials so loud is unbelievable to me.

I was impressed by the very high level of and consistent energy from game start to finish. Kept rebounds close, we had very low turnovers.

That was hilarious. It reminded me of when Russ was called out on BA for calling Dwight Wilson in his Bobcat debut Dwight Wright in the first half vs Chicago State. It shook Russ so bad he spent six minutes in the second half apologizing for getting it wrong.

Marty bringing it up and then saying he doesn’t care and discussing it for three minutes made it even funnier.

Sorry Marty…the MAC as a basketball conference this year sucks. It’s weak. Very weak. You can’t sugarcoat that.

Vic. He’s big. He brings the energy.

#BigVicEnergy

I was concerned that we couldn’t put these guys away but they finally closed them out in the final few minutes. Seemed like every time we’d get up by 12-14 they’d hit a big three or two and it tight again. Solid home W.

I thought it was funny when he said he doesn’t care and people shouldn’t take time to read into fan forums. Damn dude it’s not that serious lol

You have an obsession with Wiznitzer. Have you considered any counseling? He has been gone over a year.

Searles is our backup this year and doing well. Wiz is playing professionally and getting paid. So, what's your point?

Hahaha. I love to hear from guys who never played ball. You talked about another post not aging well apparently relative to this and Mitchell. Mitchell's 12 pts on 72% FG, 4 steals and 3 assists trump a single dunk for Elliott's only points.

Wrong again. People were saying that Elliott should get a few more minutes than what he was getting. BLSOS said Ellliott shouldn’t get minutes against better competition. Nobody said that Elliott take a majority of Reef’s minutes. I even said Boals could find a way to squeeze some of Elmore’s minutes for Elliott too. I said between James/Reef there should be a few more minutes for Elliott as well….especially if one of them (James/Reef) is struggling.

I even said it was great to see Reef make shots at end of NIU game and hopefully that would get him going offensively. Guess what? It did and he carried it over to his great game against Ball State.

My take is Reef had a Big step up execution and confidence tonight.
