I'd think that Keely would be the player of the game for the Bobcats, by a wide margin.

edit: With this win, I'd be pressed to guess that we are the first team in America to have a win in the NCAA, NIT, CBI, and CIT tournaments.

Vulture count = 176. 

Don't tell me this doesn't matter.

GO, OHIO!

I was thinking exactly the same thing when that play went down, especially since Tommy had 4 fouls at the time and a call the other way could have ended his career.  A really fitting play.

Huge win!

this was literally posted on a marshall thread....


What's sad is they don't have one player that would start for us. We just let them outhustle us all night and when we went up 6-0 we just went all "playground".

In warmups, they were goofing around.  Up by the insurmountable margin of 6-0, they started grinning like the game was over.  Our players were focused.

A few days ago I was totally not excited about this opportunity.  30 minutes prior to tip off I saw a shot of the arena on a tv at the restaurant and i thought there would be nobody there.  5 minutes into the game I thought we could get run out of gym and would lose by 20.  They looked really good and we looked really bad (DJ limping too). 

In the end, it was a great evening of hoops and it probably didn't hurt that we snuck that one out.  Pretty good crowd.  Good energy.  We hung around, hung around and hung around.  We pulled it out despite looking like we wanted to give it away at the charity stripe.  Washington & Keely really stuck out as stars.  Baltic struggled against big defenders, but loved he hit a 16 footer late.  Like to see him add this to his game.  Tommy solid.  Did a nice job boxing out on the boards against a much bigger and athletic team. 

Marshall looked like they were much better and had way more athletes.  Yet we hung around long enough where we forced them into jumpers with our zone and pulled out what I thought was sure to be a loss.  Nice effort all around.

Fun, fun evening and great game!

FWIW, it was Marshall's smallest attendence of the season-4200 not too bad.  A nice win, but butt ugly for sure.

More likel;y they felt bad about calling this proper defense a foul. You work and work with kids to stand straight upand not lower their arms. opr slide then when they do that Guys like Eads and Boroski penalize you .

Next time I see Bo I am going to ask WTF is going on. When you finally get a player that is not jumping, not slapping down and not sliding in late why the hell would you penalize him...that is a simple no call. Texctbook defense need not interrupt the flow of the game. If the shot is missed or made there is no call. By caling this you force players who are fundamentally sound to abandon what they have been taught.
