This is when the real season starts. Who is going to step up and be that #2 and #3 scorer? And please.... somebody guard Metheny so he doesn't hit a bunch of 3s.
OU is playing well, but it is no Pippen and no Nuga. Tough to beat a good team in the tourney without your top two players. I'm thinking it will be a close one tomorrow.
As @NWAkron pointed out in another thread Akron is the 3 seed with a win. The loser of Kent vs. Buffalo falls to the 4 seed.
Just win Friday and all is well.
Assuming that the OU vs Kent game will not be made up, a win on Friday should get us no worse than the 4 seed. A win and a Kent loss would get us the 3 seed - if my math is correct.
For those hoping to be the regular season champs and be at least guaranteed a spot in the NIT, that isn't going to happen (for whoever is the champ). It is now a 16 team field - all by invitiation.

It goes back to what was talked about early in the season. Who is the #2 scorer on this team? Right now, we don't really know. And in the games where we haven't had one, we've struggled to score (and win).
They are not getting the ball because they are not hitting any shots. LCJ is averaging 6-7 assists per game. He knows how to pass the ball to open teammates.
