Some interesting tweets on the game.

DJ tweeted congrats (Good game young fella! Keep dishing the rock) to Jaaron for tying the record.

Jason Arkley tweets that Tony said that the team came out fired up because of a pregame speech by Treg.

Pete Chouteau tells Jason his seats sucked. ;)

By the way, huge shout out to Treg for calmly sinking both free throws at the end. I didn't realize it but he's hitting nearly 80% this year compared to around 60% the last two.
Those were big time and honestly, probably misses at least one of the two last year. As a team, Ohio is 9th nationally in FT shooting.

One reason why last night's game was so close was an uncharacteristically bad FT shooting night. Just 60% (9 of 15) including about three misses on the front end of 1-and-1s. Counting the back ends of those 1-and-1s, we probably left four or five points at the line.

Still waiting on the reel from Bobcat TV. Or anything from this game (pressers, etc...), for that matter.

Speaking of Coop, it looks like he got kicked off his Greek league team but landed on his feet in the top French league, playing for Monaco now.

I wonder how that happens? He approached a triple-double at the end of December for AEK. Euro hoops is strange to me in the way players move all over.

Sounds like he broke some rules. No details however.

No one talking about this... But in addition to Simmons' big assist night against Toledo, he is currently on pace for 241 assists - and that would be if the Bobcats only get one MAC Tourney game. From the MAC record book earlier in the thread:

1. 263 - Cooper
2. 242 - Cooper
2. 242 - David Greer (BG - 1981-82)
4. 218 - Cooper
4. 218 - Cornelius Jackson (Marshall - 1999-00)

Simmons may very well end this season in second place on that list. Someone said he won't be First Team All-MAC and I disagree!

And regarding that game the other night. I am certainly happy they pulled it out and a win is a win and all that stuff... But there were two moments in this game that were just miserable, both cardinal sins in basketball. One was Setty's foul on the three-pointer. That was bad and everyone on this board already knows that and it stays fresh in our minds since it happened at the end of the game. Even worse than that in my opinion was when Toledo was making a run at the end of the first half and Ohio could have had the last possession. You run one play and take your shot. Ideally, you shoot with four-to-five seconds left. If you miss, you have a chance for a put-back, and if Toledo rebounds they don't have enough time to get up the floor. Instead, apparently the best Ohio could do was take a Wadley 3 with eight or nine seconds left. Toledo rebounds, takes it up the floor, lays it in with ease. Toledo heads to the locker room with all the momentum. The lead was still seven at the half, but after that possession it felt like this was another BG or Tulsa. There is absolutely no excuse for that shot when they can play for one shot, let alone telling me that Wadley outside the 3 point line should ever be an option when you are drawing up your last play of a half. At worst, if Wadley comes out to screen, he should be right back in the paint. Everyone clearly has the green light on this team when they are open from 3 and that is #Saulball, but it just should not be in the playbook on the last possession of the half.

I remember thinking the same thing at the end of the half, ouallday. If you recall, Saul had subbed Wadley in for TC the play before, I assumed a defense for offense substitution. There was a deadball before Ohio got its last possession and I was thinking TC would go back in for Wadley. As Simmons was bringing the ball up the floor I noticed TC walking from the scorer's table back to the bench. And, as you pointed out, the remaining 20 seconds or so were not ideal.
