Tough way to end the season.  Gotta play some defense to get a W, no matter who you are playing!

Worst effort from Ohio since pre-MAC schedule. Someone will have to explain that last minute to me.

I think they were just better than us.  We kept coming back so I'm not so sure it was the effort although the defense stunk.

This ^^^

I'm not sure I can explain that last minute and a half.  I'm not sure why we are shooting a three when we are down only one.

Good season Bobcats, and thank you seniors for all the memories over the past 4 years.

Can someone tell me what happened in the few minutes of this game? We are in Statesboro, Ga., on spring break. We went to dinner at a local Thai restaurant and were hoping to get back to the B&B in time to watch the second half via the web. However, the restaurant had a big influx of folks, unexpectedly, and the service was very slow. Therefore, I had to settle for getting score updates for the whole game via ESPN on my phone. We seemed to be consistenly down by about eight points throughout much of the game. Then we came back and with about 2:30 to go we had a one point lead -- 72-71 (I think it was), and the next update had us down three with something like 30 seconds to go. I'm thinking we just need a three to send it into OT. However, when the final score is posted we lose by NINE -- 82-73. What exactly happened in that last 30 seconds or so. A complete collapse? Somehow, this whole season leaves a bad taste in my mouth. There were lots of good individual performances on given nights, but this team never seemed to jell quite right. Well, I have great hopes for next year given what we have coming back, the redshirts and the new recruits. Go OHIO!

P.S. Thanks TF, Devo, AA for your wonderful play and your dedication to OHIO basketball. You will be missed.

I don't think this game can be described as a Bobcat collapse.

We started off in a hole due to Crockett and Tubbs hitting every shot he took including two 3 pointers that hit off the rim, bounced straight in the air and finally fell in. (Also a poster dunk we might be seeing on Sportscenter)

We had to battle back the whole second half, and thanks to Devaughn playing tough down low and some clutch shots form Nick Kellogg we came all the way back to take a BRIEF one pint lead. After that ETSU came back to life and put us away.

I thought we played well. DJ wasn't on his A game, and Ivo and Keely had early foul trouble, but I was happy with our effort overall. ETSU is a good team with good athleticism, not a bad loss at all.

Thank you Seniors! But, I'm looking forward to the 11-12 season.

Great game, Bobcat fans. I was getting really nervous towards the end. Your team reminds me a great deal of ours.

I was really impressed with Cooper, even though he seemed to struggle tonight. He's versatile, tough, and poised.

Best of luck next season.

I certainly wouldn't compare this to Ball State, which indeed was a collapse. I didn't get Cooper's long 3 either, but we didn't get it done on the defensive end all night.

OK Steve, you're right. Maybe "monumental collapse" was an exaggeration on my part to describe the end of this game. My point remains that we will need to play better in the final 2-3 minutes. What I read on an earlier thread about our depth and running ability next year is encouraging in that we could finish stronger at the end of games.

11-12 is probably a pretty accurate guess at what we'll be next year.  The loss of Freeman and Washington, a young team, and not much size--we have a lot to overcome.  Though we will have some talent.

We can be better than 12-13 the next year, though.

Chicken George:  I think Ivo has really improved the 15 foot jumper this year, and if you look back, he actually used it quite a bit this year.  As for last night, it was all a matter of him getting into foul trouble. 

I'm thinking it should read "2011-2012" or "'11-'12 season"
