Great to see this out of the team tonight. This was a grade A ass kicking. Saul likes to empty the bench though so the scoreboard probably won't always show them.
Crowd got into it in the first half when things were chippy. Also got into it when we were laying it on them.
I wish O Zone was here for this one. Would have been sweet.
We won on national TV. I don't have stats but seems like we frequently falter on the bigger stage (or big sibs/dads weekend crowds)
Great to see that Kent State is very rattle-able. May come in handy in March. Hall had stats but was rattled. They had 3 or 4 guys with more fouls than points.
I hope there is good video of the 7 footer flopping, I'd like to rewatch. It's funny because he was the guy asking for the review. Things were happening so fast but it seems like he seemed to take a jump/trip/dive on his own and then act as if he was hurt in the head eye area.
One gripe/suggestion: When we're on a 10+ run and the opposing coach has to take an emergency time out, play the Zombie Nation, but play it immediately after time is called, and louder than typical. Way more effect that way. It's not that hard, and we fail to get the timing down. 5 seconds later makes all the difference IMO.
Awesome night in the Convo.
Edit: holy crap does Kent suck at making easy shots. (although kudos to our D too) We'd be pulling our hair out if Ohio did this so poorly. No wonder they have so many offensive rebounds. They missed a dozen shots within 3/4 feet of the hoop. Amazing.
