Is that a person or a bird that flew into the gym that had been doing all that shrieking though the second half? I've been tempted to mute the ESPN+ volume and not listen to that crap. Maybe use closed captioning instead. [/QUOTE]It is a special needs fan that has sat in the front row behind the basket for 20+ years. She is well known to all MAC fans.

Agreed. Never have I seen a broadcast completely ignore that kind of drama...They were stuck on finishing a talk about Javan's Mom and refused to deviate. It looked like it was called under the basket not by the bench.

I haven't joined the angry mob against Boals, but I can recognize good branding when I see it. Well played.

This has frustrated me all season. Coach needs more flexibility and nuance to his playing time. You gotta leave a spark like that in when you're struggling. But I knew it was coming. Both Kuany & Burris play as though they only have 2 minutes to prove themselves.

Yes absolutely. I have been bitching about this for years with Hadaway and Clayton before him. Late in shot clock and open, otherwise get your ass in the paint dude. You aren't Luka Doncic.

[QUOTE=Bobcat1998]How many shots did Pavs take? He took 6. How in the heck do we have the fourth-leading scorer in the MAC and only get the dude 6 shots, ranking him 5th on the team in attempts? But I also show this stat:
3. Pavs only had four free throw attempts. I know they double him but there were times when he could have taken shots and passed out instead. He has a smooth stepback and outside shot. Is he just mailing it in? Has Boals put a leash on him for some weird reason? I just know he is as good of a scorer as we've had here and the dude disappeared offensively.

You don't believe the story the TV announcers were peddling that he came to OHIO to be closer to his grandmother? Where's his grandmother live? Gallipolis?

The technical was on Boals who was arguing (not all that demonstratively) after the and-1 that Sheldon committed. And it was clearly a foul. I turned down the volume because I got secondhand embarrassment from the Kent sideline reporter's Perd Hapley impression. On top of that was the flagrant-1 on... Burris?

I worked at Shively as well from 1961- 1964. Many of the Elite 8 players worked with me and they were men, not spoiled little boys like these guys appear to be except for Pav,JJ and some of the non- starters.

Where is the word "waste"? Lack of toughness, discipline an effort are apparent . Just go back and compare this team to the 1964 team with the tallest starter at 6-feet 5 inches and how they played defense.
