2-0 Zips at the 21:27 mark.

Happy to see Butler win!!! Go mid-majors. I was dissappointed in post-game interviews. I was hoping they would interview the bulldog!!!

And another way to look at "guarding" How about slowing them down by making THEM HAVE TO PLAY TOUGH D AGAINST YOUR TEAM BECAUSE YOUR TEAM IS SCORING TOO!!!!!!

Amazing comment from KD: "We should have played in the NCAAs if we guarded" Hey KD, I do not care how good a defense your team plays, there are sometimes games in which one or more of the other team's guys just completely "go off" in scoring. In thoses cases, your team hs to respond with offense enough to at least stem the tide!!!!

What is KD thinking right now???

lilroodude,O.K. now what about our inability to shoot over the Zone? How many times did our bigs come out to set some picks?? Not very many. We just passed the ball around the perimenter. Had we set more high screens, things would probably opened up inside.

again , you as the better team, fight thru some bad calls.

I thought we received more bad calls than they did. But we are the better team. You have to , as a team, find a way to fight though it.

We did not have an inside game tonight , because we could not do a real good job of getting inside their zone.

But my point is , not rooting against them, but their lack of inside scoring will cost them big time. There will be guards in the NCAA that will shut them down. Another thing, we struggle against zone defense. We shot 36% tonight.

Not to take anything away from OU BUT:Last year the Zips were the #5 seed and won the tournament. In the NCAA, the Zips lead Gonzaga by 6 at half, still lead with 9:00 minutes left before The Zags went on a run and ended up winning by 13.This year OU was the #9 entering the MAC tournament. Because they had 2 guards that shot lights out for most of the tournament, they took down the number one seed and went to overtime to beat the Zips. Because they really do not have an inside game, they will probably be destroyed in the NCAA's.If you think the MAC has been looking bad in the eyes of the national sports media for the last 5 years, wait till this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody concerned about Nik's sometimes lack of control his emotions? I love how the guy plays, and his engery but , I believe he was out of control last night and hurt us badly.

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody still up, get on espn2 quick. They are going to show Steve's game tying 3!!!!!!!!!!

Channelsurfing.net does indeed have the Miami - UB game listed.

The game was on channellsurfing.net. Not sure if they will have UB VS Miami

BG leading W. Mich by 2 with under 10:00 to go . BG shooting over 70%!!!!

I agree with Dr Z point on emphasizing defense. Yes Defense is important. But there are games where one or several players on the opposing team are having a great night shooting. Then you must respond with some players on your side stepping it up.

N.Ill Leads W. MIch 35-32 at half at the zoo.

Can't up 36-34 at the half.

Also Ni Ill vs West MIch on FSN.

Bulls still might blow this game???

Happy about the win. BUT A LITTLE CONCERN: On postgame, Frenchie stated that this was the third time Huskies have given up 90+ points this year. That includes 99 given up at home to OU. Maybe our scoring was as good as appears??

Final from Athens: In OT , Ball St 67 Ohio 66. Two wins now for the Cardinals vs East opponents, and both on the road(Buf).

Look at these stats:3's : BSU 9-11 Buf 4-25F.t's Bsu 22-31 Buf 7-13and this!!!! Turnovers: BSU 25 Buf 6
