Should be an interesting evening with Senior Night at Miami and the rumors out there about it possibly being Coach Coles' final game at Millett.

Add into the mix that OHIO desperately needs a victory to lock up a tournament bye, and you have the ingredients for a fun evening.

No game thread 10 hours from tipoff...Did TT go on vacation?!

Big game...Miami has played a lot of teams close this season (including us) despite their struggles.  I would lean on the side of not terribly confident.  But oddly I still like our chances on a neutral court in the MAC.  We just can't seem to avoid the horrid stretch that does us in on the road.

Thank goodness our staff and players don't have the same dour pessimism as some of us fans. 

It's always a tough task at Miami but this game is winnable.  Vegas usually knows what they are talking about and they have pegged us as 3 pt. favorites. 

Overall, we've been playing well recently so I see no reason to assume we won't play well tonight.  Hopefully it will be good enough to squeeze out one more point than Miami. 

Agree that Senior Night is often a boost to the home team, but not always.  Hope that things go our way tonight.  We want to avoid falling behind early. 

I suspect that Ivo and Reggie will be highly motivated to bounce back from a very subpar performance at Kent State, especially since they are faced with the challenge of competing against Mavunga and Harris.

It will be streamed through the MAC site.   Akron-Kent gets the ESPN3 nod tonight.

It would be a real shame if we don't win and that causes us not to earn a bye after such a good year.
I would then think it would be real difficult for the team to regroup for the tournament come Monday.

I'll start questioning how good of a year this truly is if we lose to Miami. 10-6 record in this conference is not that great.

For what it's worth, 10-6 would be our best record in the 16-game era.

It's better than I thought it would be and I'd consider it a success.

Is this free or a pay service?

Just go to:

http://mac-sports.com/Schools/Miami/LiveStreaming.aspx 

Press play, and it should load up a page with their video feed come game time.  It's free, but since it's from Fiami's people...it probably sucks.

Doesn't ONN televise all (most; some) Miami home games?

I get that...but with the start we had and how weak the west is...11-5 at the worst is where this team should be and it can still happen.

No probably about it... the feed quality is really low for me.

Grainy as heck.  I'd complain about it being dark, too, but we all know that part is accurate.

But the audio feed is surprisingly clear.  The ohiobobcats/Russ & Rob audio has been starting and stopping a lot on me. The Russ/Rob commentary is far superior of course.

Yeah our audio stream has SUCKED hard today.  I tried WXTQ but it was way, way behind.

Is the chat room down?  I can't get into it.  Maybe I'm being blocked for my bad behavior on Wednesday.
