I don’t care if we win by one at the buzzer, please beat Marshall!!! They have won three straight recently and won’t be playing far from home so, I expect this to be close. That said, I would love to see Roderick go off and be completely wrong on this one…

Go Bobcats!

I don't have a warm and fuzzy feeling about this one.

Would agree with this. We just seem to be going ho-hum right now. Hopefully, this the game that turns it around. Marshall is solid and this is a great test.

Without Lunden, we will have our work cut out for us defending Kinsey. It's a tall ask even with Lunden.

Good temperature check for what the heart of the MAC schedule will look like.

With their up-tempo style, we will have to play with more energy and focus or we could get run out of the gym. I'm optimistic that this game is just what we need at just the right time.

Huh, Obinna Anochili-Killen leads the nation in blocks with five a game.

This stat reminds me of Hassan Whiteside a decade ago. I recall he had a great game against us with a lot of blocks. I wasn't surprised later that year when he shot up draft boards. He ended up being a pretty solid player in the NBA.

The way we have played the last two games, I wouldn’t be too confident in this one.

We have to play better than we did the last two games to beat Marshall. I feel good about our prospects. I don't think these young men want to lose to them two years in a row.

We will get shots against Marshall that we didn't get vs. SFU and Stetson. We just have to make the good looks that we get. I think we are due for a good shooting night. Hope so, because to beat them we have to outscore them. Can't grind it out.

Guessing it will be Ohio -5.5 or -6.0 based on kenpom and Sagarin.

Sometimes the absolutely prophetic quality of the posts on BA simply astound me.

Seriously, Jeff, I agree that we need to have a good shooting night. Against UK we had a number of open threes that we missed. Regardless of who you are playing you need to hit a good percentage of open threes. Contested outside shots are another story, but missing shot after shot when you are wide open is either back luck, a bad shooting night, or just plan nerves. Let's hope we get in the groove Wednesday night!

Just meant that it won't be a grind it out game. They are going to score so our offense has to be in gear.

Wow were you way off Jeff haha.

Ohio opened as a 5.5 point favorite. Lines already moved to Ohio -4

This is why I'm not feeling warm and fuzzy. If Marshall scores up into the 80's or higher, I don't have confidence we can keep up (given the way we've shot the ball recently).

This would be the ideal game for #3 to break out of his funk.

Seems the Marshall defense has improved recently, but we will still get good looks. Just need to have a good night shooting the ball.

Jason Carter will have a posterizing dunk, just like his last two games vs Marshall.

It’s going to be crazy when BRod hits 7 3’s in the second half.

Rock solid first half. Marshall is CEO of turning the ball over.

Someone go get the 110. A six point lead with 37 seconds left is way too early for WT/LT.
