An eerie sense of calm washed over me as I mentally prepared for my trip to the James A Rhodes Arena this evening. But then I read posts about seedings and win streaks and that calm quickly shifted to dread.
Tomorrow night: really surprised that Ohio is a -3 favorite over NIU at the DeKalb Triangle. And Buffalo, -8.5 over EMU. Although, I'm happy to see EMU keep losing so they are sitting home come March.
Maybe it's the server issue, but Toledo certainly doesn't bring the excitement that Kent does. Hopefully, students will keep up the effort and fun tomorrow and the Zips had some good practices.
I didn't write that well. those seats aren't held by anyone during the season. these guys picked them up at some point for last night. never saw them before but were totally into the game.
Groce would say it comes down to how they practice the next two days. Preparation trumps pressure.
There's going to be a let-down game like the 2020 cluster at Bowling Green. i just hope it's at an away game.
as of tonight. OU would be the same as the cancelled 2020 first round.
1. Akron
2. Kent State
3. Toledo
4. Ball State
5. NIU
6. Buffalo
7. Bowling Green
8. Ohio
I think the seats next to me in the lower bowl are un-sold. Was cool, last night a few Akron guys bought those tickets, had their beers, and were pumped for the game in their Akron gear.
Really happy BG hired and extended Huger. NIU schooling them at the Stroh Center. NIU had 52 points with 16 minutes left. PCCC had a grand total of 55 for the game. BG making a comeback which falls flat.
that's fine. who picks the MAC POY? coaches or media? If it's media, being the cynic that I am, I could imagine som $$ and pressure floating around for a Bates pick.
