We are getting killed on the offensive boards and bop looks like he is almost out of gas, we better get it together.

Tried to get Wilson some breathers with Granger - but Colin has 4 fouls in like 3 minutes. We have no answer for Mballa inside. In fact they're way bigger and more physical than us across the board.

BVP and McDay providing nothing. We'll need one of them to provide a spark this half to hang on.

Good thing Preston and Roderick have brought the offense.

I worry about our legs down the stretch.

On cue. Two huge 3 balls from BVP on an inbounds play and Preston pick and pop. HUGE.

That’s as dominating a run as you could have.

In three days/three games, how much time was OHIO trailing? Maybe 30 seconds?

What an amazing team win. Solid performance Boals got this team to peak at the right time. 3 dominating games in Cleveland.

You don't want to face Boals in March. Undefeated in two years* in Cleveland. He's the John Groce of the MAC.

Nothing like blowing out three of the four best teams in the league. Scoring over 80 in every game! Playing excellent defense.

4-0 overall, including the win over CMU at the Convo last year.

It was 13 seconds total in the first two games and a little over a minute tonight.

This team feels very similar to our 2010 run.

Didn't win the league, came into the tournament with question marks, but put it all together at the right time with some dynamic players.

Didn't expect to win it then. Didn't expect it this year either, but both were sweet. What a great job by Boals and staff. What an impressive stretch of games we've been on since that Kent loss on January 16th (9-1 since then).

Let's go to Indy and replicate Georgetown.

Now how do we get tickets?

Loved this post on the UB Fan web site:

I don't hate anyone more in the MAC."

Thought a difference making play that didn’t get much mention was the offensive rebound on the FT on Beefs 9th foul . They acted like it was a 2 shot but it was 1 and 1 think the lead was 13 at that point but just a great hustle play and knowing the situation You hear that J.R.

Totally agree it feels like 2010...

Definitely need to find a way to get to Indy.

It is now OK to agree with whoever is known to repeatedly assert that you don’t want to be the team that has to play the Bobcats in the tournament. In a sense history has repeated in that the first time we went to the dance with Groce, we totally dominated higher seeded teams (after barely beating Ball State). Let’s hope we can knock off a nationally ranked team in the first round.

Amazing run under trying circumstances. Served notice to lots of teams with our performance in the last 30 hours. It does have a magical feel about it!
