Great performance until the last 400. Now, go 1-0 vs EMU.

Line of the night from Russ - "This is the basketball version of the Tom Emanski tapes. Everything is going right."

Nice to watch a Bobcat game and be all relaxed throughout the whole thing. Not one bit of nervousness . . . no sweating palms . . . no fast hearbeat . . . just relaxing in my easy chair and eating Pizza and having a beer at halftime. Great win. Go OHIO!

CJ Massinburg went beastmode tonight. With Lamonte Bearden's suspension now indefinite, it looks like they still won't have him when they come to Athens. If he is somehow back by then though, that could be a difficult game.

That was sweet. Beefs did not look good, especially when they started chucking threes like they had nothing else. I thought we would need KK big time tonight . . . I was wrong.

His final stats were a surprise to me, the game was so out-of-hand that he didn't seem a beast to me, like somebody I would be worried about later who could take over a game.

I have to admit I underplayed the impact of Bearden's absence.

What fun! Come home from work after a long week to an extended weekend. Snow squalls making the commute difficult. Bring in some wood and get the blaze going while the sun sets and the ESPNU clock strikes 7 then it was all Bobcats!

Watching Block reminds me of a some of the moves of Larry Bird. Strip steals and excellent hands and protecting the ball. He may not be the most athletic Bobcat but tonight he seemed to stick out as being a Bobcat with high basketball IQ.

The 2nd biggest problem with this team after TC's foul troubles is not having an experienced back-up to run the point. Simmons goes out and there is trouble. I'd bet that the coach tells him to back off a bit on defense as the Bobcats cannot afford to have him on the bench.

When is the last time the Bobcats went on the road to an opponent that had a winning conference record and put a thumping on the home team like that?

Go OHIO!

Campbell has put himself into consideration for MAC MVP. His inside and outside game is a very difficult matchup for MAC teams. The threat of Kaminski makes it tough for teams to double Campbell inside. The ability of all five guys to knock down the three ball is tough to stop.

Just got home. Can't wait to watch. Nice bounce back the last three weeks from the CMU game when things could have gone south. Not sure where this will end up but this team is fun to watch. It's obvious the players have bought into what Saul wants and they enjoy playing together.

Did anyone notice that in the thick of the celebrations that Harley was barely clapping and looked either bored or upset? I am sorry but he should be glad that he slipped into this program. We had a spare scholly available when he was coming out of high school and found him way after the recruiting period. I would hope he appreciates having his education paid for! I know he was a starter and is now relegated to 10th man but some more excitement would be nice from him.

Noticed that USA today and the official MAC basketball write up on this game both have Ohio at 14-11. Does anyone proof read these stories anymore? It's still amazing that mistakes like this make it through.

Come on. He's on the team politely clapping. Not everyone is Sam Frayer.

They both got it from AP, which probably got it from a local Buffalo reporter.

Dave Lamont on ESPNU last night kept saying that Ohio is done with playing the West this season, even though we have EMU Tuesday. He even mentioned EMU as being in the West when discussing this weekend's schedule. Surprised Saul didn't correct him in the postgame interview but I guess he was too happy at the moment.

Once again it was clear that the broadcast team was somewhere other than the game. No shots of them; the audio sounded studio quality; and Saul spoke to them through a headset.

Some pretty unique scoring stats......

We give up 36 to one player

Have two of our own score in the 20s

Win by 20 plus

Does anyone on here remember the last time we had a game with those kinds of situations)

Ha. And did you notice Saul's blank expression when Lamont asked him about being done with the West. That question was some weak sh!$.

Good win. Did what we had to do, needed to do. And did it in a big way.

But Beefalo at full strength is a different game.

Beefs played some significantly weak D at points. (Not getting back on our fast breaks, leaving guys wide open 3-point line.)

We moved the ball well, lots of unselfishness.

He's the only guy sitting at these points when everyone is super charged up. He may not be Sam Frayer but come on yourself, let's get some excitement. I love that our bench is so animated and it just looks to me like he's not into it, kind of like when he's on the court.
