They're not losing due to the refs. They're getting beat on both ends of the floor. As I feared, their bench is playing well while the Zips are getting little if anything from the subs.

Banks with a stupid dead ball foul there. Just get out of there.

Limu emu.

Tribble has great hops, but can he ever just execute a simple layup?

They shouldn't have Cheese on Turner with 2 fouls. Shocked they haven't gone after him.

Gillette Skinguard will haunt me tonight. Could we please get back the Jennifer Garner ads?

0-7 from 3 to start the game.

BS call on Cheese.

Amen. No disrespect to the kid but there have been more posts about him than kids who actually committed to and came to Akron. He'd be a nice get but I suspect he has "bigger" offers coming.

I saw BG -1.5.

The bench needs to come through tonight. BG's primary advantage is their depth so it's important that the bench guys offset some of BG's bench performance.

Agreed. The EMU zone was really working around that time. They'd won two in a row coming in, lost to the Zips by 1, then won their next three. As painful as that game was for us to watch, EMU's effort had something to do with it.

In the first game, they started off by having Fields deny LCJ the ball all over the court, then they went away from it and defended him straight up. I suspect they'll do it Tuesday and stick with it longer.

BG was ripe for the picking during the Louis Orr era. These are not Louis Orr's Falcons. I'm not getting a good feeling about this one.

Looks like Trey Diggs got the start against OU in place of an injured Caleb Fields. Not sure the extent of Fields' injury. Diggs looked good against OU. 22 points and high energy. Frye came off of the bench.

Would you please stop being so subtle and just say what you think? This sugarcoating everything has to stop!

Yep, having the tournament in our backyard with a chance to win it is fantastic.

Way too many positives for Bob's professional whining.

To the women's credit, they pulled an upset and played one of their best games of the year. The men just did as expected, unspectacularly. GT's last article, the one about Banks, was good. It was crazy of us to expect two in a row.

The Zips head into the Stroh Center Tuesday night to determine 1st place in the MAC East. The Falcons narrowly escaped the Kittens on Saturday being a last second shot by Justin Turner. They outscored the Kittens by 16 in the second half to stage the comeback. Dylan Frye returned to the Falcons last week after a 2-3 week personal reasons hiatus. Turner continues to lead the Falcons at 19+ ppg. Frye's scoring nearly 14 a game while leading the team in assists. Daeqwon Plowdden scores 13 while adding 8.2 rpg. The Falcons are 12-1 in Stroh Center this season, with their only loss early in the MAC season to PCCC when Turner was settling back in. Stroh Center is named for Kermit F. and Mary Lu Stroh of Wapakoneta in Auglaize County, Ohio. Mr. Stroh is a former member (1993-2002) and twice chairman of the BGSU Board of Trustees and an honorary alumnus. The Stroh Family provided the lead gift of $8 million. It would have been more fun if it were named after the owners of Stroh's beer.

Gotcha. I sure wish they'd close stronger.

Maybe, but who's going to rebound. He just got a double double. Also, even an "off" X is better than any sub for him.

Do you think the Zips could raise more money for the cause by auctioning those uniforms or by getting us all to kick into a fund for them to never use them again?

Number 20 (X) may be the second best player on the team. He's in a slump. The only way out of it is to play his way out. He's also the best rebounder on the team by far. Two bigs would kill the offense by killing the spacing and shutting down LCJ driving.

The Big Dog off-season training program is working well for Bam Bowman.
