You mean EMU won last right? Then I agree yes this needs to be a loss for them.

We have gone L-W-L-W-L-W-L-W since the EMU game when Campbell went down. Keeping with that pattern, we'll lose at EMU.

I think the more likely scenario is that we beat EMU on the road, then lose at home to BG. Been that kind of year.

Let's get both of them, beat Miami twice, and sew up that #2 seed.

That's still better than the L-L-W-L-L-L-L EMU has strung together lately. The closest loss in that timeframe was 6 points. But if there is anything I've learned this year is that trends mean nothing in this league this year.

I think we really were a bit shell shocked in that first EMU game and we still had a chance in the end. It was like the Texas State game in football when we lost AJ. I think if we would have played Texas State the following week without AJ we would have dominated them. As it was, we lost. Same with EMU. I think with Jason in the lineup as a starter and not as a dough-eyed freshman anymore we will be able to hang, especially with his ability (while low percentage) to shoot from outside.

How does Ohio contain James Thompson IV?

Ohio has to shoot well to win this game against a more athletic squad. Also has to limit turnovers against a team that forces a lot of them.

If memory serves, Block did a good job of getting under his skin last year. Made him pick up 2 technicals and got ejected.

And this year in Athens. All we need is Gavin to get himself suplexed again and hopefully Thompson will be a non-issue. Then again, a few weeks ago when that happened, it flipped his switch and Thompson pretty much took the game over. Maybe Gavin should walk up and give him a hug this time, try a different approach.

And it just happened again. Double technicals. I'm starting to think these two just don't like each other.

Good thing we are hitting some threes because we are absolutely clueless against this zone tonight.

Not enjoying the game at home. Attempting to stream the game with my $54.95 a month Frontier Communications package on ESPN 360. Checked the speed getting 1 Mbps. Frontier Communications is rapidly becoming the worst company I have done business with in my life.

We were clueless against the SAME Zone in Athens. Did we lose the 8MM tape?
