  1. Watched the Eastern / Pitt game and came away extremely impressed with Eastern. A couple of times they looked like they may be headed for a DD loss but they stay composed and battled until the end of 2 OTs with less than their starting 5 on the floor as you mentioned. Everybody is back and have length and depth. Thompson has potential NBA talent and will only get better if his attitude allows for it. They will be a very tough out for anybody in our conference.
  2. I can only hope that Grand Rapids has their own fan forum. Good luck Pat
  3. Wonder when, or if at all, we may get a report from the "secret" Michigan scrimmage ??
  4. After the debacle in Canada last night I am now officially ready for hoops. I am excited by the solid character of this team and especially the headiness of our guards. Expecting a big, big, big season.
  5. Just in Ohio and bordering States OH- Cincy, Dayton, OSU Even Wright freaking St Pa. - Pitt, Temple, St Joes Penn St Mich- Michigan, Oakland, Sparty Ind- Purdue, ND, Valpo, Indiana,, Butler Ky- 'Ville , Kentucky I'd kill for just 3 games a season with any of them anywhere but acknowledge the fact that they have to want to play us too. That is the caveat,
  6. The refs really let them play last night. I am a fan of officials that allow the game to be won or lost by the players and not the whistle. In this case it favored the more physical team.
  7. By all means, lets all point fingers and assess blame. I'll pass however.
  8. Great shots, almost like a 3D effect to them. Always end up saving a few of your photos on my hard drive.
  9. As hard as it was, I was really rooting for the Kittens last night.
  10. What I'm worried about is rebounding. We have to give Big Dog some help on the glass. From the few times I've seen SUNY, they were pretty aggressive on the O glass. If we can negate that and shoot it to our normal standards we'll be OK. If not, it's going to be an extremely challenging dogfight.
  11. Thirty lashes to the first guy that says it's tough to beat a team 3 times in a season. It's one of the biggest myths in sports.
  12. Never for a moment did i think that the called timeout was a ploy to inbound the basketball. The thought of Eastern thinking that one out was improbable at best.
  13. Thanks for posting the presser. Z ball.... I like that.
  14. The fighting John Groce's take down Iowa. Who saw that one coming?
  15. This is setting up nicely. I give Miami a hell of a shot at taking down Buffalo as well. Wonder if Maric will play for NIU tonight?
  16. As Ace rightfully noted, many improbable wins. I remember the Humpty finish like it was yesterday, Also recall McNees and Chris McKnight having huge games to bail us out.
  17. I did my part, crossing the right leg then crossing the left. Finally found the winning formula by rubbing my dog's ear.
  18. Man for man, this was the toughest physical match up we'll face. Had Eastern played a little smarter in the first half I have doubts we get by them. Need to get our shooters back on track......... Bid Dog was the difference today
  19. And now the high elbows..... Eastern's basketball IQ is in the negative numbers
  20. May not of been a flagrant 1 but it was a bit of a cheap shot
  21. EMU thuggery starting to make an appearance. Stay tuned for more the minute things start going south for them
