This is a must win. But they played Toledo tough today. Not as much of a gimme as you'd expect.

And if Ohio finishes 3rd, give Boals the MAC coach of the year award. Barbee blew it with CMU collapse down the stretch, but Boals deserves it.

My vote would still go to Barbee, but Boals has done an admirable job with the hand we’ve been dealt.

Amazing how far we’ve come since people wanted to fire him and everyone was trying to roast me for saying OU was coming on STRONG into the tournament.

I think Barbee will still get it and Boals gets second. But if CMU drops one of two games this last week...I really think Boals should get it. I still think he should regardless, but I think people had their mind made up about Barbee ten days ago. Even back on February 18th, I said it was Barbee, but much has changed in the last 13 days.

Technically speaking, you give a point or two...

We're gonna see how locked-in & focused Boals has these guys. Hope they can rebound & hit some open shots.

We are playing for third place in MAC standings and Miles Brown gets his last chance to play in front of family and friends in the Rochester area. I’m confident Boals will have them ready.

I hope you are right. That Arkansas State road game was a total bummer.

Thankfully there was not much at stake. It was like a glorified scrimmage.

The game at Fiami on their senior night? That one worries me.

Anytime this team ventures out from the Convo for a game, it worries me. UB played a pretty competitive game against UT until the latter stages. This game won't be a pushover.

Win at Buffalo and the Miami game doesn't mean anything for Ohio seeding. But it will probably mean everything for Miami.

UB should have defeated Akron at home as well. This is not going to be easy...correct.

If we win out and Toledo loses out, we are the 2.

Going into a portal recruits living room. Which sounds better?

A) we swept Fiami

or

B) we split with Fiami

--------------------------------------------------

After careful consideration, I vote for "A" - a sweep over the Fiami RedLarks

It may not matter to our seed but likely will have direct implications on who we play. Win and we get Miami again. Lose and it's likely BG.

I know which one I prefer.

The answer is C. How many zeros you got?

I'd be flabbergasted if Miami came up in any discussions with a recruit.

I still vote for a sweep of Fiami on general principles of right and wrong.

No less than a dozen mentions back in December and January to the "Season of the Wilderness". Sad thing is, some still miserable despite winning.

Living room? Think that still happens? Hate to say it but if we are in on the same recruits as Miami we are doing it wrong.

I'll take this year's Miami's freshmen class over OUr freshmen class in a landslide. No comparison. End of discussion.

All those mentions were by the same guy who comes on here once every couple months to say outlandish things for attention.

10.5 point favorites in Buffalo.

By the way, Akron is 20.5 point favorites over EMU. You rarely see over 20 in the MAC.
