It wouldn't appear so. I don't know that the spread would change more than a couple points if he played but I feel like the O/U would be a little higher.

Is it distributed evenly among the conference or does the team that actually plays get a higher share?

Yeah, I'd prefer to play Buffalo in the 1st round. Even though UMass seems to find ways to lose when they shouldn't. Generally that's bad coaching. 🤷‍♂️

Just a couple of Zips holding down the right side.

Now they're going to overtime so it's even better.

Malik and Richie both starting for Toronto in the season opener. Also, in a separate match, Shookalook is on the bench for Chicago after signing his MLS contract during the winter.

I just want to avoid UMass in the first round so they can either move into 6th or fall down to 8th. Either is fine with me.

I think it would be helping individual players improve their technical ability. According to Google AI, this is the description... An individual development coach in soccer is a specialized staff member dedicated to creating and executing customized improvement plans for players at various levels, from youth academies to professional first teams. They bridge the gap between team-wide tactical goals and a player's personal needs, focusing on technical skills, decision-making, and psychological growth. By analyzing data, video, and performance, they provide targeted mentorship to ensure players thrive within the team's broader system.

30 in my wish world, but fair enough.

Buffalo doesn't play until 6 pm tonight, which gives us a full 24 hours of extra rest. Plus we're at home, so a couple extra advantages over a team we should already handle fairly easily. Especially if Freitag remains out.

It's weird to put it in a promotional video but she's just trying to explain that if you ordered a single custom shirt, you'd pay $100 for it (although that's not true). But by buying in bulk (500 in the case of this giveaway), you can get the per unit price way down. I don't know why there's an economy of scale discussion being used to advertise though. 😂

I guess the good news is we played poorly and are still up 4 on the road.

Great news for both sides!

Yeah, something like that. But then in the box score, it says 4,847.

Yeah, it's definitely worse than before COVID. But also, I'm not sure our reported numbers are always right. Obviously many teams report numbers higher than actual due to tickets sold that no showed, etc. And I'm sure we also do that sometimes. But I also noticed that at the Kent game, they announced in the arena an attendance of 5,100 or so (I couldn't hear the exact number), but the reported attendance in the box score was 4,800 or so.

They might be even worse than NIU, which is saying a lot considering a couple years ago it looked like Ball State was turning into a decent basketball program.

They've been lucky but have created a lot of their own luck. For example, if they didn't make those buzzer beaters against Buffalo, they would have lost but they have excellent shooters and made the shots.

I thought maybe it was an ejection for two technicals? But I'm not sure how it was actually scored.

I think it's a one game suspension if it's a flagrant 2 foul. But I couldn't hear the announcement at the game so I'm not sure how it was classified.

Instead we'll be traveling to California for a lesser known opponent!

Looking at the ticket sales map, it looks pretty normal which is probably not a good thing. I missed giving the line and O/U for this game so here it is...Akron favored by 12.5 with an O/U of 160.5

Four more minutes last night as the Wolves blew out the Blazers. One rebound and one block.
