CMU at home beats Buffalo in OT.

Seriously. WTF? WMU/BG https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore/_/gameId/401473522

Tuesday: Time for Bates to right the ship. 7:00 PM ESPN+ Kent State (14-34-0MAC) Eastern Michigan

Does BG still have those big, mean, country girls?

What a sad state of affairs.

This is like the post of the year! (IMHO).

Groce was ALL ABOUT Tribble on the post-game show. Clearly, the coach's favorite. Tribble and Hankerson. From ABJ: Tribble reaching double figures was of particular note considering his defensive responsibilities. At different points this season, he's learned and then played every position except center, and he's often been tasked with guarding the opponent's best scorer. "The dude is just a stud in terms of intelligence," Groce said. "If you needed him to play center he could do it, probably. … He's just so versatile both defensively and offensively, and is willing to sacrifice for the team. I have great appreciation for Greg."

I don't recall an Akron MAC game that was truly over with 16 minutes left in the 2nd half. absolutely bizarre. I was like geez...there are 12 minutes left of this train wreck.

Benched him awhile ago. Apparently there were a bunch of scouts here.

Bates scores finally. Groce quick time out.

38. Try and keep up.

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.
