I have no shame taking CMU +10.5 in this one. Obviously hope we win but might as well try to take advantage of an absurd spread and double dip.

Ohio 82
CMU 77
Whoops.

Miles really needed a game like this for confidence…great to see. I’m hoping Elmore only has some kind of hyper-extension. Thought it was a good sign that he was sitting normally on the bench.

Great team win tonight!!! Us in the O-Zone were loud throughout the night and I think it definitely contributed down the stretch. We got off to a great start but kinda bent in the second half but defense made up for it. That Hadaway poster dunk was crazyyyyy. They gotta make copies of that - would buy it immediately. Glad Jaylin could bounce back and Miles return to the starting role. Won’t be able to make the EMU game but will make every game after that. Last year is flying by.
Was great to see the students back, the Ozone rocking, and a good crowd at the Convo. It amazes me how few people were in attendance at other MAC venues tonight. Bobcat fans should be proud in leading the way. Let's continue to build on this and see our crowds grow throughout the MAC schedule.

Always great to beat CMU. No number of victories will ever purge the disgust of the loss in the opening round of the MAC tournament in 2001 but this is a good salve.

While OU normally is a top tier attendance team, I would also think short of maybe Oxford, Athens was the least hammered by Old Man Winter these past few days?

I'll happily walk away with an L here. We played much better than I was predicting, that will tend to happen when Miles Brown and Hunter play to their capabilities.

CMU is not a good team, expecting them to finish in the bottom 3 of the league when its all said and done.

How has Vegas not figured this team out?

Ohio is a 10 1/2 point favorite? I mean...how?
Ohio won by 12... Vegas uses metrics. They've been off a bunch this year because many of the sites like KenPom and Bart Torvik overestimated Ohio early in the season but things tend to become more accurate once they have a larger sample size.

NET:
Ohio - 218
CMU - 287

KenPom:
Ohio - 179
CMU - 297

Torvik:
Ohio - 189
CMU - 300

Average:
Ohio - 195.3
CMU - 294.7


We're still ranked 100 spots higher than them. That's why.
Bingo!
