In Ohio’s five losses….Mark Sears…18-72 from field.

The difference between Preston and sears is about three inches

Really don’t want to be the 1 seed. Ohio is notorious for shitting the bed when getting into that spot. That goes for any sport too

We still have Akron and Buffalo… Looks like any of those top-five could win it

Only 1 game this year with Buffalo and already in the book as an Ohio win.

Well this one sure fits the ‘ol It’s Just Life on the Road in the MAC! We flat got our -sses handed to us. Seemed to me Kent was going to collapse the lane on Sears at all costs and clearly had him beyond frustrated from the opening tip. That and we couldn’t possibly shot the 3 ball worse if we were trying to kick them in beyond the arc.

Might be a short March then lol

Just win out and we're no worse than a #2 seed. We have CMU and Akron at home next (Akron's on CBS, so nothing's guaranteed), then BG and NIU on the road. A combined 22-32 in MAC play. All very winnable. Toledo has CMU at home tomorrow, then at MOFO, home to WMU, then at Buffalo and BG at home. A combined 26-43. But with Buffalo on the road, Toledo might have more of a minefield than we do.

Ugh that one was a rough one to watch.
Dust ourselves off and onto the next one! Will be making the dirt for CMU

Home.

Great to see the super star three point shooter, former European player and now coach in street clothes in Kent.

Terrible watching Kent make all the fouls to start the second half adding to the misery.

Mr. Carry for MAC POY. Nothing looked like an effort for him. His assists were beautiful. He didn't care if he scored or got a teammate involved. He broke down the tight defense time after time. He never forced a play and passed up firing up threes. Who has destroyed the top guys--Toledo then OHIO consecutively.

I noticed our guys NOT shooting open threes in the first ten minutes of the game, looking like Norman Dale's team in the season opener after given the ultimatum of four passes before a shot goes up or else. Or when the Bobcats beat Tennessee in December of 1987, a couple of days after we lost at Vandy by 16. It upset Dyron Nix, ut's best player so bad that he called coach Don DeVoe's offense "robot ball" in the post game presser. Kent played loose and were having fun. Our guys were uptight and afraid to shoot open threes early in the shot clock, instead working deep into the clock and being forced into taking crappy shots that missed and resulted in easy run-outs for Kent.

If the Bobcats are going to live and die by the three... they need to launch one every chance they can see the rim unless they are playing an athletically inferior team that they can abuse inside. If they want to be athletically superior, that means raiding the portal or face waiting to develop kids out of high school like AJ Clayton which can work but takes time. And the portal is no guarantee either. Adusipe did nothing at Vandy and he is still doing nothing at Kent... 1.5ppg and 1.5 boards per game.

We are now, officially, the worst 22-5 team in the country. By default, we are also the best 22-5 team in the country, but that is just a technicality.
