How does Northern Illinois not improve their broadcast quality during the half? Absolutely brutal!
Same reason Ohio doesn’t improve theirs at half.
Ohio really doesn't have a legitimate excuse either. You have schools like Buffalo with a professional staff putting together great quality content. It's night and day the difference.

There's falling apart and then there's what Ohio is doing.

BG and NIU are two of the worst teams in the country. There's no acceptable explanation for how OU is playing right now. Even a bottled up Sears and struggling BVP/Carter/Roderick should take care of this squad. BG is 277 KenPom and NIU is 299...

Another great performance tonight. Good thing we signed the incoming class already...they may be questioning their commitment.

I know we've beaten this to death already but good god Ben Roderick. I don't even know what to say anymore. When you look at the numbers it's just baffling. I feel bad for the kid.

Embarrassment The staff on the bench should absorb most of it.

I know many will claim the game didn't matter in the standings and that all that matters is next week in Cleveland.

Those people are right but what a pathetic way to enter the MAC Tournament. I'm not saying that can't surprise us but that's looking highly unlikely. This team is completely lost.

Man now I wish I could update my MAC tournament win total from 1 to 0.

Buffalo might beat us by 30.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the confidence of this team going into the MAC tourney.

Unfortunately, as per usual they will hoist up a zillion 3's even though we are not a good 3pt shooting team...but hey, maybe a few will go in and give us a chance.

***#1 in the MAC in 3pt attempts.
***#8 in the MAC in 3pt percentage (not good)

It's incredible. I watch a lot of mid-major hoops on ESPN+. It is only Ohio games that ever have broadcast issues. It's maddening.
If it makes any difference the SEMO-Murray game on ESPN-U had the same crappy picture freeze and flashing issues for a while. Sometimes at the same time.
Hey, but we're on TV.

We don't play Buffalo. We're playing Kent State in the quarterfinals.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. Meant Ball State

Is that guaranteed? Thought Akron won the tiebreaker for 3 seed making us 4 and playing UB

I'm sure Boals will pull out the "it's a new season" and "everything you've done to this point does not matter" type of speech...which is maybe what they need to snap out of this awful play recently.

Fingers crossed but hard to be optimistic with no confidence or momentum going into the MAC tourney.

It has been quite an adventure. After the second Miami win, I decided to schedule a trip back (from California) to see the Akron game. I had never seen a game in the Covo, having graduated in 65. The visit was wonderful but the game and all subsequent games have been disasters. Clearly the whole team has lost their mo-jo. That said, there is still hope. We know how good they can be. Let’s keep the faith.

Is a 21 point half our lowest for a half?


No. We had 15 at Toledo on 8% shooting.

Well, we had a good dinner after the game! ;-)

I will be shocked if this team wins a single game in Cleveland.

After a 19-3 start that was the best in school history, this looks like a completely different team. Man, does this roster need some turnover.

Side note: How can we imagine BVP would want to sign up for another season after the way this one is ending? His departure will the last kick in the teeth after a brutal closing stretch to this season.

There's something that caps us at 14 wins in the MAC. We've gotten to 14 MAC wins six times (three times in '80s, once in the '90s, 2012-13, and this season) and had three shots at a 15th win this season and couldn't get it. Weird.

So it looks like an ESPN problem and not with the feed from Dekalb. Maybe that's why the NIU announcers didn't mention technical problems. ESPN is more likely to fix something on ESPNU that on + because ESPNU is carried by cable and satellite companies that pay big bucks for the feed, so it's easier for them to get ESPN's attention than those of us paying $7 a month.

Tough slugfest. Seemed like every time I looked up we were down by 6 pts again.

We looked good during that little spurt where Sears used his speed to get down the court and made quick decisions.

Our offense is completely lost. JC and BVP look gassed in the paint. (Hence why I want more IJ minutes just to have a big body down there).

Incredibly frustrating. If NIU hadn't fouled so much, we would have lost by 20. Wish Sears would have taken it to the hoop at the end instead of trying the step back 3.
