Now 0-2 in MAC play and staring at 0-5. Our program is not even on par right now with the likes of Northern Illinois, Miami and Bowling Green. Did you think 5 years ago that this would ever be possible? For those of you who follow the program seriously and don't think the #SaulBall era has been anything but an epic failure, I just don't know what to say anymore. This goes well beyond success in March. We are now a team struggling to get out of the bottom of the MAC. That's what happens when you recruit a handful of guys who should be suiting up for Wisconsin Stevens-Point and Ohleone CC. We quit in the last 23 seconds against Northern Illinois and now lose by 19 points to Bowling Green. This is a complete embarrassment and can't end soon enough.

At this point it doesn't matter, but if he did, I wouldn't mind...but I doubt it happens.

I'm thinking about giving up my ESPN+ subscription. They're beginning to not be worth the $5 a month.

Nobody is being the floor leader. Just throwing the ball around in the hope that somebody gets open for a shot. No sixth man like we've always had. BG outscored us 43-11 in bench points. 11 assists on 26 makes; BG had 16 on 31. Little emotion out there tonight.

12-2 Toledo's getting hammered by Buffalo (105-69 with 3:41 to go). I can imagine what the Bulls will do to us.

Yep^^^^. The lack of talent and development of players on this roster is stomach turning.

I'd suggest against it if you're a MAC fan.

Currently watching 2 MAC games (Akron at CMU and EMU at BSU) in overtime. A little reprieve after suffering through Ohio's loss.

I can't recall Russ and Rob ever sounding so flummoxed and demoralized recapping the game before Coach Phillips came on the air. Coach Phillips seemed at a loss as well. This isn't rocket science. Every game we have a lead and every game we go down by double digits which proves we have the talent to be in these games. If injuries and lack of talent keep you from ever being in a game, that is one thing. However despite those injuries and supposed lack of talent, we seem to have had the lead in many games and then it is if we are hypnotized to play poor defense and shoot poorly. I have seen the late Coach Charlie Coles do far more with less talent that we have on the court.

This Bobcat team, because of injuries certainly doesn't have the talent that we old timers remember from days gone down (to quote Gerry Rafferty.) However, to throw in another 1970s Gerry Rafferty song, we aren't getting it right next time. As a matter of fact, we are regressing. From what Coach Phillips said, it doesn't appear as if he can put his finger on it. His hope that a win can turn into two and maybe 4 in a row sounds nice, but he gave no specifics on how that might occur. The administration hasn't announced their verdict yet, but a few more games like this and we might get the fastest verdict ever rendered on a Bobcat basketball coach.

I bet he was thinking "I can't believe I'm hiring our third coach in 4 years because getting this right three times in a row is really hard." But I guarantee you Schaus wasn't naive enough to think a single Sweet 16 run guaranteed anything.

And you know what? He hired a coach that everybody likes a whole lot and that everybody here was excited about. It hasn't worked out, and that happens with jobs sometimes. Let's handle it with some class.

Ok, I didn’t see the game. So Iooking at the box score Saul played 9 players tonight vs. his usual 7-8 man rotation. Starters: Taylor, Preston and Cowart gotta step it up on offense. Vander Plas in for 25 mins and only scoring 3 pts. and 0-5 at the three. We are not a threat in the Mac. Pull the plug on Sauls contract this ship sinking fast. Need a coach that will motivate the players. Current situation not working.

Agreed. No need for pitchforks. It's all over anyway.

He's a good person who tried and failed. In two short months, we'll start a search.

Block watch: 1 rebound and 1 assist.

Tell me again why we have 4 guys riding the pine and not even seeing any time?

10-0 run in 1H

19-2 run in 2H

29-13 "run" to end game

Clockwork. #SaulBall

Campus ugliness- yes I believe BGSU campus has better ugliness. Coed beauty- definitely, my wife and I are graduates of BGSU so I believe there was a high level of coed beauty. It isn’t just my opinion, it is a fact that BG wins the nearness to Toledo battle hands down.
