DocCas86 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Ohio @ Toledo tonight at 6:30 on CBSSN. Toledo favored by 3.5. I did some snooping on the Ohio fan board and seems like Preston will be out yet again. Without Preston, it will be tough for Ohio. Tomorrow, night Ball St vs Bulls seems to be best match-up. If the Bulls are to be in top spots of the MAC come the end of the season - this is a game they need to win. I wonder how the team will come out of the long layoff.

RecoveringHillbilly Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Both teams only went 7 players deep most of the game, but Toledo had the energy, shot the hell out of the ball, 95-78. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toledo looked very good last night, and so far this season. They are currently ranked 68 by barttorvik.com and 79 on kenpom.com. Their only losses are Bradley (2 pts), Xavier (3 pts), and a blowout by Michigan. They are a tough team to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocCas86 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Today's MACtion pits the top half teams against the bottom half. Bulls need to take care of WMU on the road. One point of interest for me does Josiah Freeman get pumped for game against Bulls? I hope Mballa picks up where he left off last game, that was fun to watch.

DocCas86 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Here is a table from barttorvik.com showing MAC conference stats by team. Pluses thus far for the Bulls - Defense (Adj Efficiency Defense - 94.6 and 2P% Def - 43.9%); Rebounding (Off - 36.5 and Def 18.7) and 3P% - 39.6%; Areas where the team could improve FT% - 63.2% and 2P% - 47.8%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 BG's loss last night makes Friday's game even bigger. As it is now a battle for 2nd place. I've never been a Toledo believer however this year they are actually playing defense. Yes they've played the weaker half of the conference and Ohio without Preston but still impressive. Knuckle up for a grind of a MAC season. Does anyone think Toledo will run away with it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckle up for a grind of a MAC season. Does anyone think Toledo will run away with it? I agree Friday's game is big - from a lot of different perspectives. Having Mballa and Brewton this time should help, but still will be a challenge. Toledo has been shooting the ball exceptionally well (EFG% is close to 60%). They will be tough to beat, and look to be favorite at this point, but I do not see them running away with it. If Graves can perform closer to last year's numbers and Williams, Mballa and Segu continue to play well - and we keep up defensive intensity - I think the Bulls have a good shot of beating Toledo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDBullsfan89 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Bowling Green falls at home to Western Mich for their 5th straight loss (since completing the sweep of us, of course). Imagine they'll still be dangerous come tourney time but definitely didn't see that coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocCas86 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 A lot of frustration on their fan board including calls for Huger to be fired and criticism of Turner. Things are not looking good for them right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocCas86 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Kent State lost tonight to Akron 72-61. They played without Mike Nuga who is likely out the rest of season. This is a tough loss for Kent as he was their second leading scorer. https://www.record-courier.com/story/sports/college/basketball/2021/02/03/ksu-guard-michael-nugas-season-likely-over-due-knee-injury/4371916001/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was taken out at end of last Saturday's game as 'Hamilton experienced back tightness at the end of the game (CMU) and also had to be substituted.' He has missed two games so far.
