clarkwgriswold Posted February 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Buffalo perplexes the hell out of me. They have one of the best guard combos in the league (Williams and Segu) along with one of the top big men (Mballa). If they can ever get their heads out of their collective poopers they could be dangerous at MAC tourney time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd get an additional easier game. I suppose I'd rather have tourney run of Round 1: Ball State Round 2: Toledo Round 3: Ohio than Round 1: Buffalo Round 2: Ohio Round 3: Toledo That second option is absolutely brutal. I wasn't a fan of cutting the field down to 12 but that 4th seed 5th seed game is another reason to keep the bottom 4 at home. A win by the 12th seed in the first round essentially turns the 4th seed into the 1st seed. and if you get really bored.

NWAkron Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Line up to -3.5 from -2.5. I thought the game was at 2, apparently it's 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) Tribble playing a very nice aggressive yet controlled game stop far. Freeman is an absolute monster on the boards.

Illini Zip Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) This would be a good place to get Kalle a few minutes with Freeman having 2 bogus fouls.

Let'sGoZips94 Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Groce's motivational speeches have to be something like this... "Y'all ain't nothing, man. Y'all think since you almost beat OSUcks and won a few games since that you're something? Y'all ain't nothing. Y'all actually suck. But... We can out-effort our opponents.

1981 grad Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 As soon as Freeman hit the bench this team started to struggle. A couple of bounce passes to Aziz that he could not handle and a couple of long 3 balls. Once again we are taking a long time to get into an offensive set with a lot of dribbling outside. I agree with running down the shot clock at the end of the half but put the ball in X hands. That mistake cost us 4 points. The refs sure like blowing the whistle in this game. We are going to set a record for moving screens and offensive fouls. AZZis has to challenge guys who are driving in the paint. He backed off twice on the last 2 plays and Groce finally pulled him.
