Like in another thread, I think it's key to get Kellogg and Baltic back in the fold playing aggressively. I'm not a basketball coach, but I'd give them the start at BG - both of them - and tell them I want aggressive, attacking basketball from them. Forget points - I want defensive intensity and rebounding.  We need 25 good mins a game from each in all phases of the game, not just perimeter shooting.

I also really liked hearing from Arkley about how much both teams appreciated the Convo atmosphere for the game.  I think 'Kron was amazed at what the Convo can produce compared to the JAR.  Some of the 'Kron players even hung around and engaged in friendy banter with the Ozone?  That's cool.  Sure I want to beat the pants off Akron and enjoy hating them, but I'm really pleased, esp after all the silly twitter stuff, that there seems to be some real respect between the programs.  It's going to make beating them in Cleveland all that much better and will be great to have 2 MAC teams in the dance pulling for each other.

Hard to disagree with ya on this thought.

We wont have the adrenaline and momentum of 11k behind us in Cleveland. And Wilkens wont put up those numbers again. If you look at the last 4 games of last year when we went on our run Ivo and Nick each averaged around 10 points a game. We need that production and some scoring to come from someone other than DJ, Keely and Walt.
