acting like an OU student two days before a game is not an issue. The on or off court actions of the team's best player is not the problem, the ability of the top scoring offense in the MAC for the past 2 years to score is not the problem, our ability to defend and mentally focus on every game for a full 40 minutes is the problem.
Everyone knows that we're the most dangeous team in the MAC, but they also know that the best way to beat us is to allow us to beat ourselves.
Everyone doesn't know this. Some on this board thought this. Just like some thought one week ago that Ohio was the last team other teams in the MAC wanted to face. Like some thought our freshman class was superior to Ball State's.
I stand by my statement, I didn't say we were the best team, I said we were the most dangerous, and I've seen comments on other boards besides ours to support that. Ask Akron fans if they wanted to see us in Cleveland, or Kent or Miami fans. This team has developed a reputation of being a team that can be nearly unbeatable...sometimes. But we're dangerous like Ricky Wild Thing Vaughn or Nuke LaLoosh. If we can keep our emotions in check, and put the ball over the plate we can be unbeatable. Unfortunately we don't always remember to breath through our eyeballs and we end up beaming the mascot.
