I got the sense that they did take the foot off the gas. At one point, Jimmy and Amani were on the bench and Bowen was like the biggest guy out there...maybe kamali was on the court. He wasn't risking injury or something stupid happen.

That was the craziest game in Mt Pleasant. Central missed like 25 FTs. missed 5 of 6 to end regulation?. NIU guy throws a pass for an alley oop and some how THE ACTUAL PASS goes in. Total fluke. Lucky Loser = BG.

Eastern 3, Kent 4, toledo 5, Ohio 6

I can answer that the end of next week.

Jeremy Harris as well.

Right these total wins, win streaks, and KDs infamous "20" win seasons are fuzzy math, garbage in/garbage out stuff. Throw in some D3s, some low level MAC competition, etc. and next thing you know you have a record. I'm not diminishing what this team or any other team did. These #s are good for low-information fans and the media. If I were to tell someone Akron set record for most wins in a season, the response back usually isn't "But SUNY Brockport."

If NIU wins, I think BG falls into 8th seed even if they lose and Ball State wins.

The practice today will be brutal.

Zips had their best first half and worst second half. If that happens in Cleveland, they will be toast. 63 points (when is last time THAT happened) and many, many boneheaded turnovers. Yes, refs made some bad calls, but they put themselves in the position where the refs could make a difference. FTs count like any other point and those won them the game.

I think that final foul by Toledo angered Groce. His facial expression wasn't good.

30% ???

Excellent post with relevant information. Thank you.

Broncos on the ropes in DeKalb

Buffalo peaking at the right time!

Yes, Rockets in trouble.

Not looking past Eastern or Western @ 11am on a Thursday. BTW. If there is a betting scandal with EMU, would hope whoever is investigating finds out truth before they take a spot in Cleveland

Looks like Zips have dethroned the Rockets. Out right champions with Miami loss.

Watching some of the "around the MAC" games, I noticed that other coaches seem to like Ball State's Lewis but can't stand Tod. You can see it when all these guys shake hands at end of the games.

oh.

One of the saddest posts ever on Bobcat Attack: RE: Basketball games not involving Ohio 24/25 Posted: 2/28/2025 11:10:20 PM Akron just beat Kent.

Hornbeak was in the game when Kent was dominating inside and went up 10 (?) late in 2nd half. Watching reply, announcers were wondering why he wasn't in during crunch time.

The way i ran the simulator, EMU must win won road game at Ohio or Kent to make the tournament.

Key is Isaiah Gray: if he has 4 or 5 turnovers and is bricking 3s will be tough game
