He's awesome no matter what happens tomorrow. My hope was this year was some road wins and a trip to the Semis. One more win away from that. I think this teams cohesiveness will help them tomorrow with all the outside craziness. I like that he chose character over raw talent when needed. The Gueye/Kostelac dust up is still a mystery

TOS. As the Kittens would say

The first victim of an empty arena: #1 seed Central Michigan women and the women's coach of the year. Not boding well for tomorrow. These games have to feel like a scrimmage.

Phew!!

or it's this: I like the 119th year scenario better.

Also, the Conference has a duty to some extent to protect the students, athletes, and staff at those universities.

Wow. Now I'm angry again about this.

And that's a good point, too.

Right. What's that phrase... "cognitive dissonance?" I was willing to go to the games, but I wasn't willing to go to the crowded pre-party at Pizza 216.

More road kill for the Zips. Spoke to a friend who is a critical care doctor at Cleveland Clinic. She says they are in meetings every day about it and that this is highly contagious/infectious. Also, it could develop into a more dangerous strain. So I think this will fall into the life isn't always fair category.

Well if we wanted any message from God that the Zips will win it...this is it!

Yeah. Unfortunate turn of events but I'm sure it wasn't done lightly. Just venting. And this clears things for the players, they can play without worry. We are spoiled here because we have such easy access to the Arena. But it absolutely sucks and any of us would hate ourselves if we brought it home to an elderly loved one.

Absolute arrogance from DeWine. He pressured the conference. Feel so bad for the players. Especially the seniors. Will be hard to get them motivated for what will seem like a scrimmage.

Cowardice. What a horrible decision. Whoever wins can play in an empty arena somewhere else in the country if they are allowed to be on planes. Absolute over-reaction.

Stand corrected.

Rational thinking left the building a long time ago. I guess we are going to learn this week what college sports are all about. Do they exist without fans? Do players want to win without fans there? Tree falling in the woods type of thing.

would hope sanity will prevail but seems like the governor is asking them nicely at this point.

It says "asking" so it's confusing. This is absolute hysteria. I looked at the governors website. He mentions that he hopes organizations will comply. Looks like a CYA for him. This has to be stressful on the players and their families especially those making a long trip to be in Cleveland.

Until last night, I thought it was Wright State. Anything can happen

I listened. Did say some good stuff about Akron basketball and Groce. Also BG/Toledo one of best rivalries in country. Nothing about the school up the road

https://www.rocketmortgagefieldhouse.com/news/detail/covid-19-guest-information-200308 common sense approach.

I simply provide information. Just adding a plot twist.

Uhhh....Groce's OU was one of those 9 seeds. Took out PCCC in the Quarters in 2010.

I'm taking nothing for granted. maybe it's easier for Groce to prepare for the Kittens than it would be for Toledo. I see Akron and PCCC on a collision course that could end with an epic battle for the soul of the nation. I

Thoughts on last night: 1. Success in the MAC is fleeting. Enjoy it when you get it. 2. Credit to the Kittens, but reeling Central was probably the easiest draw. 3. The AD's of the directional Michigan schools should do one mass firing/suicide pact and rid themselves of Murphy, Hawkins, and Davis. 4. When was last time no team from Michigan or NY was at the Q? As for Thursday: 1. Kitten fans thinkthey got this one. Apparently, they are the team the Zips fear the most. 2. Groce v Boals. 3. Zips by 18. 4. Toledo, Ball State, BG, and PCCC in the evening session. What a blood bath that could be.
