And all his boards are on the offensive end.

Smart play by Cooper -- get a T when we're up 12 and a chance to be up 14. And now down to 6.

WOW this team is a TURNOVER machine. All they do is turn the ball over. I'm checking the ESPN play by play and all I see is turnover, turnover, turnover.

This team need to learn how to hold onto the ball.

Win or Lose it could have been put away when DJ got the technical which was at 6 minute mark.

Unfortunate to see Mavunga hobbling up and down the court. Hate to see any senior go out on an off night, especially when not at full strength. Would have been a tighter game had be been 100%.

Last two games have been rough re:  turnovers, but overall this season we have been decent in taking care of the ball.

Mavunga wasn't much of a factor before his injury.  Might have made a difference down the stretch but I don't think so.  The Bobcats have done a decent job against the opponents better players all year.  

Turnovers were bad, very bad, but the Bobcats seemed to have the game in hand regardless.  The refs seemed to be letting them play.  It seems like if the Bobcats are playing with reckless abandon on the defensive end (like they did most of today) that they also play that way on the offensive end.  A lot of unforced turnovers on the Bobcats' part.

The technical foul was not a good decision.  DJ reacted after a Miami player tried to knock the ball out of DJs hands after the foul was called.  It looked like he threw the ball at the player. Not defending his actions but might have done the same myself.

My undergrad degree is from BGSU so I am now going to put on my Orange and Brown and root for a victory to give Ohio the #2 seed.    

At the # 2 seed OUr possible opponents on Thursday are the 6,7,10, 11 seeds plus Buffalo.
At the #3 seed our possible opponents are the same seeds on Thursday THEN Buffalo on Friday.

Miami specializes in forcing their opponents to play ugly basketball, particularly in Oxford.  They want a low possession game which inherently forces the score to be tighter.  That's the only way they have a chance.  You just witnessed Miami's largest margin of defeat at Millet this year.

In the end we took care of business and it was a good win in which we controlled the game start to finish.

I suppose.  It's difficult to argue with the result and there was never a sense that redhawk would actually win.  But it's frustrating to not see us be better, to see us play their game when they are supposedly missing 3 starters and Mavunga was pretty much useless for much of the game.
