Keep Jaylin Walker from going off! And don't make it easy for Avery to pass/shoot.

I agree the key is defending and limiting Avery and Walker. Another tough assignment for Cowart.

KenPom predicts a 74-69 win or 67% chance of winning. The Kent St. offense averages 106.6 points per 100 posessions (ranks 109th) and goes against an Ohio defense only allowing 96.6 (52nd-best nationally). The Flashes shoot the three well (36.5% ranks 70th) and don't turn the ball over. They have turnovers on just 16.4% of possessions (ranks 35th).

Meanwhile, the 290th-ranked Ohio offense (96.6/100) squares off against the Kent St. 279th-ranked defense (108.1/100). Ohio turns the ball over on 22.1% of possessions (ranks 316th), does not shoot the three (30.9% ranking 294th) or free throws (64.4% ranking 318th) well. The Kent St. D allows offenses to rebound 32.1% of their misses (ranks 300th), and doesn't defend the two (allows 52.2% ranking 237th) or three (allows 35.4% ranking 235th) well.

Thanks for posting Ted, I'm just glad we still play the games and I'm looking forward to this one.

If this game gets out of reach before it ends, I would love to see Saul take one for the team and let the refs have it.

Watch out posting negative things like that! Next thing you know someone will tell you you're not a true fan for posting negative facts. Like how Saul doesn't control any aspect of a game inside the 40 minutes. How we were tied at 41 and allowed Kent to go on a huge run with no timeout called and no adjustment made. Or how we are 0-and-freakin-2 AT HOME IN THE MAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But please, someone get on here and tell me how I'm not a true fan and how it's not Saul's fault because Dartis and McMurray are out.

It had to be hard to keep his cool, two bad calls in the row on the bobcats best player. Kent has a juco all American from Indian Hills and we have their former 11th man.

He has to stop keeping his cool when the refs are screwing us over. He gets a T and the crowd would get into it and so would the team. They had energy for about nine minutes of the second half and have played 11 minutes of blech. Eleven points in 11 minutes is pathetic.

You don't need to say "this is me." I can see it is you. And thank you. I appreciate you making the point that you are unreasonable and should not be taken seriously with any of your posts as you resort to questioning the intelligence of a fellow Bobcat.

I figured out what Saul Ball is. Allow your undisciplined point guard to take 22 shots and make 4. Twenty two freaking shots...4-22. Our PG has taken 92 shots in his last 4 games and Ohio is 1-3 in those games. It doesn't take John Wooden to realize that offensive philosophy ain't gonna work. For a coach to allow a struggling PG to take that many shots is unreal. And folks on this board cry every day how John Groce is overrated...LMAO.

Enjoy your Saul Ball for two more months. It's over in 60 days.

He does need to get strategic techs every now and then

He should have done it right after DT took a technical. I don't blame Taylor at all...it was a BS call on Carter. But damn Saul....show some freaking fire and stand up for your team and take one as well. The game was over at that point. Your team would respect you more.

. . . waiting for giacamo to come on here with his standard reply about how it's only a game that fans shouldn't take too seriously.

Bobby knight would have pulled down his pants infront of the team and showed them how to properly shit a brick. That is the kind of coach we need.
