Torvik says Marshall by less than a point with a 52% chance of winning.

That's as close to a toss up as it gets.

Team Rankings is not as optimistic, a 43% chance of a Bobcats win.

Haslametrics predicting Ohio 77.8 to 77.7. Legitimately a coin toss.

Current rankings for Ohio:
Torvik (136), KenPom (160), Haslametrics (140), CBB Analytics (158), Average: 148.5

Current rankings for Marshall:
Torvik (194), KenPom (176), Haslametrics (183), CBB Analytics (171), Average: 181.0


Closest MAC equivalent would be Miami (OH) on the road.

I am hopeful that the Cats will click and blow these guys out at their house.

Marshall is a completely different team at home than on the road.

Marshall announcers on ESPN+ having major difficulty with OUr names: AJ Claytor, Hardaway, Pavalesku. Mostly it's the color man, Ot Elmore. Yes, Ot.

Pav thinks he is the show. Needs to learn to pass the ball.

Another really good defensive game. At this rate, we give up 80 again. Not gonna win many games that way.

Embarrassing first half.

I don’t care that Marshall is at home. They are not good.

Can Boals just not win road games?

Prove me wrong Jeff in the second half.

Searls' 6 pts and 8 rebs in the first half allowed Ohio to keep Marshall from building a bigger halftime lead. But his last rebound before the half preceded a poor outlet pass that was intercepted with 1.8 seconds left, followed by a fade-away 3 pointer by former Akron Zip Mikal Dawson, that stretched a 5-point Ohio deficit to 8.

AJ Brown also with a productive first half with 12 points. But he struggles around the basket with seemingly no lift and not enough strength to out-muscle most defenders.

Knew we would struggle today but still disappointed with how the first half ended. Ohio responded well after their slow start but turning the ball over in the final seconds leading to a buzzer beater 3 was the cherry on top to a sloppy half of basketball.

Marshall on a 7-0 run to open the 2nd half. Frustrating to watch and approaching dangerous territory in this game.

Down 48-33.

One week to prepare for Marshall. One week. And this is what we get?

Toledo…who is awful right now…won at Marshall and we are down 15 two minutes into second half.

Disgusting effort.

Where is Mitchell? Isn't he supposed to be healthy by now?

Sparrow, that is an understatement. Both offensively and defensively they are just really out of sync.

The pieces just don't fit.

Very disappointing team thus far.

OUr defense is helping Dawson, a stiff for Groce and Akron for 9 years, look like an All-American today.

Looks like we will have to wait until MAC play to get our first road win.

When does Kuany get eligible to play? Ya know, to defend the rim.

That guy that just got an uncontested dunk for them? He's not exactly LeBron.

Hadaway has not progressed at all this year. Looking like a bench player to me.

Has anybody counted the number of times I’ve said “guard the three-point line”? You simply cannot leave guys wide open now nowadays. Especially if it’s their best shooter. Give a team the two and contest the three.

So, what do we do right there double and triple in the lane and leave their best shooter wide open. This is just horrible coaching and player awareness.

Kuany is on the bench and in uniform for, I believe, the first time this year.
