Team of destiny. Tons of players rising at the end of the season. Mo seems healthier every game, And maybe Ricardo will even make it if we advance far enough


 

In chat last night I asked if there was any chance Rico would play in the MAC Tournament and I got a couple "no's" in the chat but no one elaborated.
 

On the call-in show Rico said that was his goal. Earlier this week he tweeted that he "ran, jumped, hopped and even dunked" in practice so it is clear he is making progress! I would still imagine playing in practice is a long way from being game ready.
 

If we do see him, it wouldn't surprise me if Christian keeps it quiet until putting him in. Probably the same if we don't see him. Dress him but have him sit? Have they done that so far?


 

To update, Ric tweeted earlier that he feels like he is good enough to play. Assuming the doctors will have their say (or already have)
 

Obviously you don't want him risking further injury.


Well it depends on if it would be a pain thing or a life altering thing. Like they said, Stevie can't hurt himself worse, it's just pain he has to deal with. Unfortunately with Ric it would probably be the other way. Hopefully he is clear and gets to suit up at least one more time by the time our season is over

This game comes down to rebounding and turnovers.  We get close to even in boards and limit them to 10 O-boards AND we turn it over 12 or fewer times, we win by 5.

The way you phrased it, it sounded like you were asking for that game. Johnson's not even dressing. And in general, you don't want to throw someone in cold who hasn't played in three months. He's out of game shape and there's no time to catch him up.

FWIW, in the "Fiami Preview" video at ohiobobcats.com you can see Rico doing some jogging, high knees and then a jumping drill in the background behind Russ, on the floor of the Q.  He looks like he's moving pretty well, but these drills are not at any kind of speed.

If we advance tonight, I think we use Ric for a Willis Reed type moment to give the guys a boost for WMU. Mental and physical fatigue will be setting in by that point in time. I think Ric could give us 5 minutes.

Is there someway or a login to watch the game on the Mac online site. I have not been able to get on it this season and espn3 keeps getting blacked out. I don't have time warner but need to see this game. Yesterday I had to have it on game cast and I almost lost it not being able to actually see it. Thanks go bobcats!

I was wondering if there's some trick for the Mac site because it won't stream for me. That's what I was asking all I get is multi colored lines.

Working fine here. Actually been (suprisingly) really good the whole time. 

I'm using chrome on a mac and haven't had any issues.

Team quit with about 6 minutes left.  Mo was awful when he came back in the game.  Just awful to waste 34 good minutes with a no show the last six.

The end of this game was the basketball equivalent of getting kicked square in the nuts.

2 extra games in 3 days took its toll down the stretch in this one, mentally and physically.

JC is 1-5 against the Zips at Ohio now. I'm not okay with being owned by any team in this freakin' league. Wasted a great game from Nick too...
