Awesome. Thank you for posting

100% agree. We are lower level season ticket holders for 20+ years with very strong connection to the university. Each year at the Q we our seats are embarrassingly bad. First two games at Q used travel zoo and were basically courtside. Tickets for tomorrow not as good but still much better than what Van Horn would give us. As for my awesome seats last night, they were less awesome when 3 "robust" inbred Kent fans sat in front of me. And three more of them to my left. Those people are strange.

I looked at box scores and minutes played last night for both teams. Our guards should be fresher. Big Dog and Hall about even in minutes. Kent is a high turnover team. And a tired Kent...Will suck even more Kwan has to be really well-rested. They need to keep their cool.

There are some eerie parallels to that game. We were 6th seed. Kent was #1. Kent beat Ball State to get into final. We beat the #2 and #3 seeds to get to final.

Dueling threads. They will be caravaning from Ravenna tomorrow night

What can be said?

Turned off the radio. I think I will wait and see who we are playing when I arrive at the Q Tomorrow. Oh, wait,. I have to start the thread...I'm undefeated

Had trouble with travelzoo. I went to box office here. Lady was helpful. Akron same place but opposing team on same side at other end...For cameras.

Same side and sections. But the other team will be on same side, too just at other end. Be careful not to buy in their section

The MAC Final 4 certainly has an "old school" feel to it. On the + for Kent tonight, Edwin and Avery should be well-rested having fouled out early in their game.

So long Nate, Blake, and the interloping Canadians. And it's 11:30pm on a Thursday night and...

I dread seeing the Athens hill people milling around the Q tomorrow night. However, Toledo was never going to make it to the final and would likely have been easily beaten by Kent or Buffalo. OU should put up a better fight against one of those two. And since chalk is prevailing, looks like a cold, dark drive back to Ravenna for the Kent faithful. I really, really dislike Buffalo and Nate Oats. I thought i would never say this, but i'm going for Kent in this one.

Isn't this typical Toledo in the MAC tournament? Not surprising.

Surprising. They all seem so nice

You would have thought from the Zips fans that the EMU player made a full tackle and a right upper cut to Noah. It did look like the EMU player couldn't stop and maybe thought the two-handed push was better than a fill-in body blow. But that would be giving an EMU player way too much credit. Read somewhere their player "Mangum? was suspended for this game.

Zips after gritty win face the Ball State Cardinals who took out WMU after two of their starters had a mid-court collision. Only meeting at the JAR had Big Dog winning the game in closing seconds followed by Cardinal coach Whitford running to mid court screaming claiming the Zips goal-tended their final desperation shot. Dambrot is not going to lose to Whitford. Period.

Leaving now this riveting game

Ball St may be minus a point guard. Guy with knee injury came back. I played Hardy Boys and found out Taylor Persons(?) Has concussion and stitches up the side of his head. (Top that George Thomas)

Scrambling for a loose ball. One knee to one head. Lots of writhing and blood. Hobbled off floor. Felt really bad for them. But Cardinals leading...Inspired them.

Omg. Ball State players. Hope they are ok. Head on collision at center court.

Ball State dance team can top that 5:30 Friday.

The Zips fans around me were ready to remove the refs personally. At the end of chippy games is when we need Noah like he was today. Good laugh when near end ball thrown to Big Dog and left his hands in a split second before the foul.
