A couple years ago, when Freeman was here, we had a pretty comfortable 20 pt lead for most of the game but the refs took over and ruined the final score. I think we still won by double digits or almost double digits. Outside of the 2024 MAC Title Game, this series hasn't been competitive since 2023.

How large was Kent's series lead when Pinky was hired as HC? I believe it's now Akron +5.

Anybody but UMass. Their physicality is something both Miami OH and Akron want to avoid, especially on Thursday.

Which is hilarious given the optics around Miami OH's season. Also, I found the perfect branding for their new arena!

New year, same Kent. It's legitimately impressive how consistent Sendy has become.

If the refs call Suder properly in Cleveland (he's a walking offensive foul), Steele might cut down the whole jumbotron.

Just found the post game. Interesting that there is an injury there though. Would be a shame if it didn't fully heal before Cleveland and affected his shot. Miami OH is approaching Kent levels of unlikability right now.

Which is 40% of the estimated cost of this new build, and the top end of the private donations they have (meaning very little to zero public funding would be needed). If Miami OH loses in the MAC Tournament, they will be sweating Selection Sunday. That is how structurally sound their hype is right now that got this project passed. $150M+ in debt for such a fragile athletic department is wild.

Which one? This would be the 2nd PG they've lost this season.

Out of reactions but this is fantastic haha. His pronouns are almost certainly We/Suck. Their drought vs Akron will do that. Steele's reactions in their game tonight showed me they're feeling the pressure of having to be perfect knowing Akron likely awaits them in Cleveland. Haven't lost to them since March 2023. This would be 3 straight years of sweeps.

It is incredible that Kent extended Sendy and the gap between Akron/Kent has only grown.

Don't give him that much credit. He probably identifies as a bunny.

I would say you have to be joking but somehow this is the least surprising Kent wrinkle.

Somebody needs to grab a photo of the middle age Easter Buddy for future use.

This generation's creativity is quite shallow. It's ridiculously lazy and although I'm all for that every once in a while, having that be the go to is sad.

Not quite a buzzer beater, but another Scott bucket in our last possession of the half. Incredible.

Tavari enters Portage County and his IQ immediately drops 50 pts. Some really stupid passes tonight.

Getting pretty tired of Amani not being ready to play in these types of games.

Whaley out (for now) after rolling his ankle. That is so much weight rolling over on that joint.

Uncle Rico is a total fraud.

Mr. Adams on the Akron call just said Miami OH has the most 1 possession wins in the country. AGAINST ONE OF THE WEAKEST SCHEDULES IN THE COUNTRY!

Miami OH's soul-selling season continues with a last second layup to win.

This post nails it. Miami OH is very smart for capitalizing on an exciting era of athletics. However, that intelligence seemingly goes out the window when they decide to plunge themselves into upwards of $200M in debt for a project that seems like complete overkill when the hype for athletics is built on a likely unsustainable run. Ray Kinsella built a nice, modest baseball field when called to, not a glamorous ballpark.
