Simmons is our second best player. We're at our best when the offense runs through him and Pavs, and much worse when it runs through Pavs and Hadaway.

Here's where Boals and his assistants suck.

JJ Kelly and Kauny never get on the floor after an awesome run but coaches cannot sub to get fresh blood in there. Leave them guys in forever and if it goes OT they will be left in there.

Ohio’s three-point shooting, the officials’ eyesight and Eastern’s composure with a lead are in a three-way race to the bottom.

Hadaway, two bad defensive plays. Gives up two three-point shots.

Awful coaching. Honestly, what's Boals doing? A possession, down three, and doesn't take a timeout to run a set to create a look.

Pavs can't get open, Elliott catches the outlet 6 inches inside the threepoint line, and Simmons has to try and create a shot in the paint.

Going 2 there isn't crazy, as long as you're fast and it's a good look. Using 12 seconds to get a contested look from 2 down 3 is a bad possession.

Boals is a bad in game coach.

Stopped watching and went grocery shopping because it was infinitely more exciting than what unfolded in the first half. Shocked we made this a game...

OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD PAVS!

OMG!
The worst of games… The best of games! Like I said earlier, thank God it’s a 40 minute game.

Finally an opponent missing big free throws.

Insane finish.

Elliott injury looks bad.

Opportunity for Walking Bucket and Fisher moving forward. Conners can’t see the floor moving forward.

Guys showed heart and hustle. Started passing the ball. Great comebacj but still issues moving forward. Thought this would be the spark Elliott needed. Hoping he is ok.

Doesn’t look good. And if it’s a high ankle sprain, we know that’s going to easily be six weeks minimum.

Pav may not be the best player in the MAC, but is there anyone more clutch?

Pavs is the heart and soul of this team. He willed this win. I haven't seen anything like this in OHIO basketball since the days of Bill Whaley. Unfortunately, Pavs does not have as good a supporting cast as Whaley did. But, nonetheless, this was an amazing WIN, and I'm as happy as a clam -- at least until Tuesday!

We just witnessed the worst half of basketball in Ohio Hoops history and it comes during year 7 of the Jeff Boals era

Well done.
You obviously forget the O’Shea years with half’s that had fewer points.
