Chipps message board. Apparently, there is no hope in Mount Pleasant. Mighty Keno has struck out.

Better article.
meanwhile over at "Ay ZiggyZoomba" whatever that is, the Falcon fans are in meltdown mode.
I watched the replay and Windon and Regghi praised Deng Riak for his defense at crucial time in second half.
Also, watching Turner play guard reminded me of Nick Harney.
Absolutely. Thanks for the NIT reminder I keep forgetting that perk. Cool article below:

I will put up my version with my tiebreakers later! The correct seedings are (based on losses). Being #1 seed isn't that advantageous is this scenario;
1. Akron (play Ohio/Toledo winner)
2. Bowling Green
3. Central Michigan
4. Ball State
5. Northern Illinois
6. Kent State
7. Buffalo
8. Toledo
9. Ohio
10. Western Michigan
11. Eastern Michigan
12. Miami
I'm sure you all appreciated that I didn't have a "we are doomed" meltdown tonight.
Nice crowd. No gimmicks. Just folks wanting to see good basketball.
BG probably didn't feel the loss of Frye v Toledo, but it hit them hard tonight. Turner has an early turnover doing the work Frye would be doing.
Lots of orange in the crowd. Some even sitting where the Canadians used to sit: section 1-A. Otherwise not sure about the crowd. Jayden has new hairstyle. Banks dressed.
I will take those odds. I have no idea what to expect other than Zips haven't had it going well these past four games. If they beat Ohio and EMU by one, hoe can the be expected to beat BG by 8?
I don't expect the whole enchilada the third year into Groce's tenure. BG had 31 points off bench against Toledo and that was without Frye. But going into two long haul back to back road games in the Michigan wilderness a win here is crucial. Toledo didn't have time to set up for a Frye-less BG. Groce and company will certainly have a plan for that.
