looking sloppy, lazy, sluggish. letting #22 run right through them. over it.

Those uniforms don't "read" well on the television. Must look better in person. NIU shooting 64%? Ugly start.

Today's article lays out the goals for today's game but the article on Sunday was poorly written. Content v Form. Form v. Content.

Pros and Cons of the T-Shirt Cannon.

Despite what GT thinks, Akron opens up a 16.5 favorite. Surprised. Toledo is -11.5 against Miami. Today's ABJ headlines: UA looks to avoid season sweep by NIU Santiago steps up as Kent State point guard

99% sure NIU stayed in town after the PCCC game. Anyway...it stopped snowing.

T.O.S. to N.I.U.

I found this on the Toledo Rocket message board (their words not mine): "With 3 weeks in the regular season left there is a big discrepancy in the number of games each of the top contenders have left due obviously to COVID postponements. In looking at the standings the top teams have the following number of games left on their schedule – Toledo (6) Akron (7), Kent (7) Ohio (9) and Buffalo (9). Now looking at the remaining schedule for the contenders, these are games still left to play with postponed games at the end . Toledo – Miami, @Buffalo, Open, WMU, @CMU, Ball St. – NIU (Postponed) Akron - NIU, @Ball St, Open, BG, @ Buffalo, Miami, -- Buffalo, @Ohio, (Postponed) Kent – @WMU, EMU, Open, @Miami, Ohio, @Buffalo, -- @EMU, @Ball St, (Postponed), Ohio – Postponed, Open, Buffalo, @Kent @BG, -- @Miami, CMU,@NIU, EMU, Akron, @WMU, Buffalo - @EMU, Toledo, Open, @Ohio, Akron, Kent, -- @NIU, CMU @Akron, @CMU, (Postponed) With no games currently scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 23rd, everyone will be able to make up a game on that night. But that still leaves Akron and Kent with 1 additional game to play, Buffalo with 3 and Ohio with 5. Of those remaining postponed games left, for Toledo’s sake I hope they make up the Buffalo at Akron and Akron at Ohio games. With all that said, it will be interesting to see how the MAC schedules these postponed games and then how they go about seeding for the tournament."

Considering when they occurred, those NIU and EMU losses don't bother me too much. But unless there's a dominant team like Canada was a few years back, nothing is certain in a MAC tournament. Eliminating the bottom 4 teams before Cleveland, tightens things up even more.

I was wondering if they just stayed after the Kent game.

Rather like Akron's draw as the 2nd seed. PCCC or BG in semis after a rematch with Miami. Not sure how Pippen an his knees will hold up two games in two days.

PCCC gets a glowing article for BEATING the Huskies, and Zips, who beat PCCC twice, have a game against NIU looming on the horizon? But as GT lamely with a cliche flourish points out, "time will tell" for those wily Zips whose top-rated defense apparently sucks.

IMHO, GT's article in the Beacon today was awful. Basically, Zips fans should be worried as Groce and his team cling to 2nd place. Poorly written.

Miami is at Toledo on Tuesday and Zips have NIU. Then Zips head to Muncie and Toledo to Canada for two nationally televised MACtion games on Friday. Meanwhile, PCCC has two cupcakes before facing Miami. Exciting end to regular season.

whatever. close enough Weird not having played Canada so far. PCCC, Kittens, and Canada lingering one game back. With only 8 teams going to Cleveland, not sure how the seeding matters other than maybe best to get Toledo in final game.

3 up votes for that!!

Did you notice your Zips are tied for first place!!

Even better. Bosnia is nice.

I really hope M Jackson turns pro and goes away after this season.

BG started being BG again. Up 16, took an early greedy shot. Missed and gave Jackson 3 in transition. Then turned it over.

16 points

BG up by 12. SMH

BG up by 9 then quickly lost it. They are one team you can't count on to help.

anyone remember this? bit before my time.

Watching replay, and Dakich is going off on refs and the 1999? Miami team. He said there was an 8 count on a 10 second call and bad call on a charge and that Miami shouldn't have been in the NCAA tournament. But looks like PCCC won in 1999 and Miami was an at large. Any MAC historians know what he is talking about?
