I went over to YSU for the preseason scrimmage. It is a very nice cozy facility and the sight lines are good. The bleacher seating on the ends is a little goofy but I'd be happy with a similar reno for the JAR.

I think they play in bandboxes, high school level gyms and barns all season then they hit a big time arena that doesn't give them the opportunity to practice in the facility or have a meaningful shoot around, and it takes time to adjust. I think that's a factor in the MAC tourney shooting.

It won't be MAC refs in Dayton!

I didn't start one thinking the tournament thread covered it as it did not the past, but have at it!

I'll be disappointed of he didn't accept the delivery and put it in the oven.

12:40 Friday on TruTv is what I'm hearing.

"I don't know that it's lucky when you do it 4 times in 5 years.". Groce's response to Tod's comments at the selection show party.

5. And his team is burdened by a head coach that gets caught watching the game instead of coaching it when the pressure is on.

Not that there was ever any doubt, but last night was further proof that Groce is without question the best coach in the MAC. The halftime adjustments and productive second half timeouts were outstanding.

Tod fails to realize that teams make their own luck and that composure, which comes in part from team culture, plays a huge role at the end of games.

This is just how the regular season game went.

I get that but it was a special exception. I don't see it happening tonight.

Yes. They're not changing the formula that's worked since mid-December. He may only play two minutes to start the game, but he starts.

Sharron is really important tonight as he's our one guard defender that can really man up on those quick small Toledo guards.

Oh no, it is imperative that he remain at PCCC. I'll even start a Go Fund Me. As for Groce- (covering ears and humming) I'm not listening...I'm not listening... I'm not listening...

Zach had a hamstring therapy wrap Thursday night and a back therapy brace last night. He's obviously hurting and at this point is starting just not to mix up what has worked. He barely gets into the flow before his sub is coming off of the bench and that seems to be happening earlier and earlier over the last month. He'll get in later in games for defense but likely won't see many late minutes. God bless the kid for his effort and attitude. He's the glue type of player all teams need.

These guys have a propensity to do this.

Old Frank should recruit some shooters. Eeegads, what a bunch of bricklayers.

The athletic department has re-upped with Nike and BSN Sports.

Toledo fouls every time down the floor per Aidan Hadaway.

We'll have the same bench. You get to choose by seed and Groce always wants that bench. That's why our school purchased seats were so screwed up in that we got pushed back in those sections by the higher seeded Miami. It was satisfying to move down into some of their seats after they got beat and headed back down I-71. I would have preferred to play PCCC in the final in part because of the PCCC hangover we've all seen and Groce has acknowledged. In event, peel them tonight and play both nights like there's no tomorrow.

What an immature goofball.
