Tied at 50 with under 15:00 to play.

Yep. Gave Buffalo another possession which turned into two free throws. Don't know how the refs missed that.

If BG loses, there will be no teams from the state of Ohio in the Semis.

Great points, Clark. Coming off our struggles from last year, I had higher hopes coming in. Losing Hester and multiple centers probably helped to limit our steps forward. We improved from last season, but maybe not quite as much as I hoped. We were 8-10 and the 8th seed. I wanted/hoped each of those would have been better. That being said, it's too early to give up all hope. Let's see what Groce does with another recruiting class.

TravelZoo has discounted tickets. I got lower bowl tickets (section 108) for $45 after fees (regular $54 plus fees). It supposedly comes with a $5 concession voucher - not sure how that will work. https://www.travelzoo.com/entertainment/chicago-midwest/-13-Men-s-2019-MAC-Basketball-Tournament-incl-Championship-2716273/?IsPresentationMode=1&utm_source=localdeal_us&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2731039_html_-_deal%3a2731039&utm_content=2731039&ec=0&dlinkId=2731039

Northern up 44-28 at the half over the kittens.

Lead now at 25!

In other MAC games, Central beats Western by 14. At EMU, Ball State drills Eastern 61-43.

Could have had better shot selection towards the end of the half, but I'll take a 15 point lead at the break.

The MAC has instituted a bonus policy where the refs get extra $$$ per foul called.

Off to a great start. Let's keep hitting our shots.

The All-MAC Teams were announced. Utomi, honorable mention, was the only Zip to make it. I heard Groce's comment pre-game about being the top defense in the conference, but no Zips made the all defensive team. https://getsomemaction.com/news/2019/3/11/mens-basketball-mac-announces-mens-all-mac-all-freshman-all-defensive-teams.aspx

I'd think they are in as well, but with the selection committee, you never know.

Is it scarier that there is no body to be found?

If Buffalo lost on Thursday, would that cost them on Selection Sunday?
