My recollection (probably in the Hunter era), is that we end the season losing at home to a low level CMU team, then, a few days later, they had to come back for the tourney and they beat us again.
I have this feeling it's going to happen to Miami.

Hope we can take over that gym again. Small group of Bobcats but pretty vocal. It's gotta be aggravating to the home team/fans when you can get the OU - O YEA going cross-court. Thanks DFC & Chicken George & crew.

Try to make it over there if you can. Your voice will be heard (if you cheer). Literally. It's an easy in, easy out, nobody really goes to games at Millet.

It would be an easier out if they'd open the back gate out of the Millett lot.

Miami Sucks.

I was fairly vocal...practically at maximum agitation Friday, but I don't remember being part of an ou oh yeah cheer. Was it another obnoxious bald man?

Agree.. But if you enter Weeb Ewbank dr - drive up the first aisle that has the RV aisle with the long parking places, park like 30 spots away - next to the exit by the University Ave exit. Put the left blinker on and get in. Then right on Sycamore, and you're on your way. Text me if you have trouble, I think it's fairly easy to get out. But I'm guessing Monday there will be even fewer people there. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Millett+Assembly+Hall,+Oxford,+OH+45056/@39.5165931,-84.7380663,224m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x88403d742976c861:0xdb7adb7072992245!8m2!3d39.517295!4d-84.7345594

I don't know if it's the year you're remembering, but we lost at home to Central in '02 in what I think was a 5-12 matchup. It was O'Shea's first year. Brutal loss to end the year.

Quite a turnaround to finish the regular season this year. Two weeks ago, I had made peace with the fact that we would be a one and done in the conference tournament. Now, I'm going to be bummed if we don't get to Cleveland. Just when I think I'm out....

Yes - The entrance from 732 which is the way I come in. Further evidence of suckage. But then again - The Convo lot this year is ridiculuos. Every time I pull in with my Blue Lot pass I end up parking closer to The Plains - and then nobody in the Convo.....

Fahhhking Fiami.

They are the lamest piece of crap on earth. Every year I go and every year I complain about the seats. I go sit down and wait till NO ONE shows up and upgrade my seats. Pre game sitting in my seats waiting to see who was not showing up this year and took the ritual pics. Every year I send the coach and AD a letter and a pic. Charlie was nice about it and always made sure I could sit where I could see...of course...it took Mrs Cooper and I accidentally sitting in Ms Coles seats for him to realize I was serious about moving every year. Pic of this year's seats.

Any word about Dartis' hip (which he landed on hard in garbage time) and/or Kirk's hand? Can't afford to thin the skeleton crew any more.

Dartis and TK were both limited in practice. How this game is officiated will be critical. Last Friday the officials really let Miami mug our guards on the perimeter and it almost cost us the game. Hopefully these refs will not let it get our of hand again.

If you want a good chuckle today, go to the Athens News page and scroll down to their sports articles. The picture associated with the tourney article is of Jaaron Simmons, the picture associated with the win over Miami is of Rodney Culver.

How is Jason Carter feeling? Can't he play 3-4 more games and still be granted a medical redshirt?

I'm kidding....mostly...

No defense, no offense. Barring a miracle the season is over. A lot needs to happen in the off season to restore hope in the future.

Need some 3’s to have a chance and our best shooter Dartis out with injury. Need to contest 3’s. Miami having their way. Gollon with a couple steals and doing well. Work the ball inside to Taylor more. I’m dreading the second half if they don’t make adjustments.
