Big game moved to Friday 2/3 @ 9pm. ESPNU.

and LCJ's flop. Was that legal in basketball world? LCJ deliberately fell in order to give space to X. Notice the people standing by the door.

It's a pretty slow, rainy day when we are reliving an EMU game from 3 years ago. But that game is seared into my memory. A friend from work was at that game and I mentioned that to her (when I asked if she was going this Friday) and she's like "how do you remember that?" Channel crashed hard on the floor fighting off the last shot. Rob Murphy stormed onto the floor. A number of people around me had left. Of course, if we are really desperate we can discuss the Guard with Braids and the 2018 MAC quarterfinal v EMU.

I picked it up during overtime...which took FOREVER. the women's game is so odd, especially with the gamesmanship on the timeouts. I'm tempted to watch a replay of the Toledo/NIU game (well, just the 4th quarter) just to watch the Toledo coach's head explode as they blow a 17 point lead.

With Kent's OT loss to Miami tonight, Zips are only unbeaten team in MAC.

Didn't the Zips have fouls to give?

replay in the sense of a nail-biter.

As long as it isn't a replay of February 8, 2020, at the JAR. "Spottsville missed them both!" One of the craziest, heart-pounding endings at the JAR. I swear a decent contingent of fans left before X (Part 1) hit the 3. Right up there with Western Michigan game last year.

BG was in first place that year by a few games going into the final weeks and then collapsed. Zips had OU in that first game in Cleveland...that wasn't a gimme. Right, after Cheese incident, Zips went to Buffalo and won easily. I also remember Groce being ejected in Buffalo his first season?

Nationally televised: ESPNU. What was espn thinking? Emoni Bates?

Haven't there been a number of close games at BG over the years. Gladden had a tip in to win and didn't Harney do the same. 2 total bricks from that BG player.. Re: AKRON Quote Post by BGSU33 » Tue Jan 10, 2023 9:36 pm F'in Akron....I get so, so tired of losing to them. They have simply owned BG for two decades now. BG is just 5-34 since 2005 vs Akron! That is mind blowing! I never thought we'd see a conference foe dominate us like that. That kind of record is what you'd expect to be vs teams in the Top-25, not vs a fellow MAC member. SMH...

Miami, yes, but I didn't think Ohio would lose 3 in a row, especially first game home after two road losses. Really, really happy Zips are 2-1, going into Friday's game.

I wasn't joking when I wrote that in crunch time you want Groce coaching your team and not Huger.

As the game wound down, Zips had one advantage...they weren't being coached by Huger.

and PCCC blowing out Toledo. Dambrot had better teams on odd years. Groce has the better team on even years.

i can guess the score without watching the game. was 45 to 43. and I just knew it would be 49-43 a few minutes later. Disappointing and distressing.

Yes, a few on here are (as I like to say) whistling past the graveyard: "To attempt to stay cheerful in a dire situation; to proceed with a task, ignoring an upcoming hazard, hoping for a good outcome."

Toledo went 17-3 last year..

That's also nice. Thanks for sharing.

That's nice.

I hate a Friday night loss. Ruins the weekend.

X, Clarke, and Dawson. I thought, even full strength, this was going to be a tough one. Ugh this one burns.

Boy, I was right. UCLA redux.

Tacky Toledo ran up the score on Western. IDK but this feels like the UCLA game and not because of BSU's coach. Feels like Zips are treading water.

So I guess Tavaris turnover led to a score as time ran out?
