In the words of a great Rebel Alliance tactician: "It's a trap!"

The Bobcats have lost 4 in a row to Bowling Green, and discounting the Jim Christian years, Ohio's last win in Wood County is 2007.

Yes, four Falcons will miss the game and they account for 91 minutes and 31 points per game. But they're not irreplaceable.

Wes Alcegaire will play. He leads the team in 3s attempted and made. Dylan Frye will play. He shoots 42% from outside the arc. Demajeo Wiggins will play. He's their leading rebounder, including over 3 offensive boards per game.

Coaches Huger and Stacey have a history of dominating their home court against Ohio and 400 Nate Thurmond bobbleheads are not going to go down without a fight.

You think this is going to be easy? You got another thing coming.

BG has pulled two football players to try and help tomorrow. I repeat, two guys who have never ever played a college basketball game have been pulled in to try and salvage some sort of a team. This is gonna be a cakewalk.

If you've ever been to a game at BG you wouldn't have said this. It doesn't matter how good we are or how down they are. It's like Ohio's twilight zone for some reason.

EDIT: I understand all of the things you say point to Ohio victory, and I hope you're right. But history shows that it really doesn't matter who is better.

That said we'll be there pulling for the Cats hoping for the cakewalk :)

Only 400 Thurmond bobbleheads? I'm on a mission to get one. More ammo to ensure that I get there when the gates open at 300.

I remember when the Beefs of Buffalo filled out their roster with some.football players who actually got a lot of playing time in the Convo. One of em got body slammed by Shawn Mc.

Kareem Wilson was a beast on the court.

Disagree. Your ever optimistic posts fall flat often. Wish I shared your enthusiasm but the game is played on the court and just as we are short handed so is BG. Do you know Thomas Stephens?

Yeah I want to know how the "4 players suspended " thread devolved to a food thread.....I thought *WE* got off topic.....ah well I am sure someone here could suggest a wine pairing if they chose to. http://www.ay-ziggy-zoomba.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t...

Aww...yes....the Jerry Lebold era. I'll never forget Chad Gill looking like he wanted to throw up playing at Rupp Arena that year. That was a fun 12 win team.

I remember when we did that with Hugh Grant.

Damn this is awesome! I went to bed way too early last night. I enjoyed this over my morning coffee! Thank you for the analysis FJM! I’m sure really good squads would meet with the same fate in that clown school of a campus.

Sadly, we don't (historically) do much on the road. As we all know - that's life on the road in the Mid-American Conference :)

I mean how do you stop a dude raking 3 offenive boards per contest? You can't.

You're thinking tunji did not come over to hoops?

Check his bio on ohiobobcats.com . He was a major factor every day at practice and when we were short on hoops. He was invaluable in 2010. His Twitter and FB timelines show a deep connection to his brothers in hoop.http://www.ohiobobcats.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/adedipe_ad...
