Kent State's final AP ranking after the tournament was #12. As far as I can see, Buffalo at #14 is the highest ranked MAC team during the season, prior to the tournament.

DooleyBull06 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Are students still on campus this Saturday? I know finals are this week. I hope AA is rocking. This team hasn't had many home games and this is the toughest so far. May even be the toughest home game of the season. Must defend our home court.

MillenniumBull Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) If highest mid season for some reason is more important to you, Bowling Green made it up to #7 during the 62’ season. They finished #8. They stated at #8 in the preseason poll that year as well. Edited December 10, 2018 by MillenniumBull 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enrique14150 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 If the students aren't going to be there - do people still want to meet up in the end zone and make some noise? Return of the alumni? I'm trying not to be the organizer (because I am in most things) but it was my idea, so I stand by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add on top of this, Ohio was ranked #5 in the country for two weeks during the 1969-70 season and were ranked nine out of 15 weeks total.

BullsFan14 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Seems like a trap game but I trust Oats to have the team mentally prepared. I wonder how CJ's knee is doing. He looked in bad shape at the Bonaventure game. Last game against SIU - 35.5% shooting - 28.6% 3 point range Season average - 47.5% shooting - 34.7% from 3 point range If we shoot close to our average, they won't be able to catch up to us due to their slow play.

Not a lot of people remember this season because it was before all the fun started but UB was the last team to beat that Kent team! I think they went (totally being lazy here and not googling it) like 31-5 with UB being their last loss before the Elite 8 run. I was in High school at the time and remember repeating that fact to everyone during the NCAA tournament run. I still remember listening to that game on the radio. Antonio Gates was playing for Kent in that game. I vaguely remember Brown hitting a crucial shot late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was Howie "Butch" Komives, whose biggest claim to fame was being traded by the Knicks to the Pistons for Dave DeBusschere., that led to the great championship Knick teams of the early 70s. The other was future Hall of Famer Nate Thurmond, who played the early part of his career in the shadow of Russell and Chamberlain and the end in the shadow of Abdul-Jabbar. Thurmond was a great center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get 4,400 for LeMoyne we should be able to sell out for SIU. Only hope there will be more media coverage by radio,tv, and UB can put more pressure on the Buffalo News to run some articles during the week.

I understand how important it is to get people out to the game, but increasing regional interest by showing the game on TV...that's good. Unless our region is really interested in Utah State vs North Texas in the New Mexico Bowl... Yes...get the game on TV. If it means 500 less people show up for the game in person, but 50,000 watch it (I am making up numbers here), that's good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the network would be happy with them doing that. Channel 4 will have CBS college basketball coverage on. Channel 7 will have bowl games on. Local channels have very little options to be able to show a local sporting event over their obligations to show network programming. YOu need a perfect storm to be able to have a game on local TV like the football game this year. It does not appear that lightning is going to strike twice this year. The other big thing that could work attendance (which putting ht e game on local TV will hurt walk up ticket buying) is the date. It is the last Saturday before Christmas and it is huge shopping day.

If Alumni can't get sold out with UB being ranked and playing a tough opponent then what are we even doing here? Might as well pack up and go home. Seriously, Alumni isn't big. This game is a sell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
