I disagree with those who say that this game doesn't matter, and who cares if we win or not. Every game matters. A win helps team psychology and keeps the momentum going.
You will only hear me complain if someone like Elmore makes his injury worse by playing in this game. Get home with no injuries and focus on Toledo.
if playing can make his injury worse then he wouldn't be playing at all. This is just the type of nothing-to-lose game where maybe he finds his stroke and it propels him to a strong finish.

Got hurt at Ball State. Smart move by Boals to sit him. This is what I was talking about in terms of mentality for this game.

Game of extremes. Just taking turns getting hot and going on runs.

That is the way to double a guy at the top of the circle and leave the shooter wide open Hadaway. Our team defense is just horrible today.

I reiterate, you have got to guard the three-point line in today’s college game. I would give anybody two every time down the court if I can get three.

From up 9 points to down 12 at the break. Yeesh.

Just get out of here without any injuries and focus on MAC play.

Man. Thought we were about the roll after the 5 threes between Sheldon and Cornish. Brutal stretch to the end of the half.

The way we play defense, and I use the term defense loosely, we just may get our wish and lose by 30.

Don't shoot the messenger when this carries over and we get thumped by Toledo, because that's happening.

Rest the starters in the second half.

This game means nothing no matter how you want to look at it or spin it.

Get on the plane.

Focus on Toledo.

Onward and forward.

they're shooting the way we did against miami. take Shareef out of the perimeter defense equation, some really sloppy turnovers (not a ton but they all seemed to lead RIGHT to points) and it's a bad recipe. Better find something on both sides in half 2.

Why are you so worked up about this game? We are also playing this game without our best perimeter defender.

It’s going to be ok.

6 of 7 MAC teams are down at the half. 1-2 in games that have ended. And a lot of games that aren't very close.

Sad state of affairs in the MAC right now.

I'm not "worked up". Our defense is atrocious. So is our rebounding but that's always been true with this roster. While this particular game results don't matter as it pertains to the NCAA, the WAY the team plays matters. You're always trying to get better and work on things. Not to mention there's an aspect of competitiveness and pride.

Why do you have neither?

Haddaway is just not athletic enough.

Anybody got a bet on the over or under of 100 points for them?

And a newsflash for 206… This team is not going to the NCAA tournament

My favorite again. Five guys in the lane leave the shooters wide-open.

I think he's plenty athletic. He can run fast and jump high. What he doesn't do is actually move his feet on defense. It's pathetic. Then again you can say the same about the entire team.

Slow feet when on ball. The guys off ball standing straight up, hands at their sides. Not only does it hurt our help side defense but it makes finding guys to box out difficult.

Buy a ticket if you want to stand and watch.

This times 100. Talking about not taking a game seriously is a pro mindset when you've already clinched something. Not something you do with a developing college roster that's inconsistent to begin with.

I don't think they are either. In fact go back and check pre-season prediction thread. I didn't think they were then either.

I said that in reference to Fear's "This game means nothing" comments. He's right as it pertains to getting to the dance. Nothing but Cleveland matters there. Doesn't mean you don't even TRY to compete and get better though.
