Hard not to like this team. They play hard and play big minutes. They just have no depth and have other lacking attributes as well, but considering it's literally a completely new team other than 1 player, it's a lot better than I anticipated. They will be competitive throughout the season as long as they don't get last night's men's officiating crew, as they can't afford a foul-fest game.

They can't miss

Another great team win. This was never in doubt today. Almost boring, knowing it was in hand the whole way (I'll take a season of boring like this though!). Just love seeing effort and team ball. Knocking down shots helps too. 2-0 today, including the women, 3-1 overall. Not half bad!

All those teams should fire their coaches, even the ones that won, because they didn't win by enough.

This team is playing super right now, leading Kent. They're like night and day from the start of the season. Credit to Coach Burke and her staff, along with the short-handed roster. Hang on!

Guys played well. Were there stretches of less than stellar play, but every team does that at times. The game was extremely entertaining and it was awesome to see the effort and great team play overall on both ends of the floor. Always a good thing to open up MAC play with a win, especially against Ohio. Hopefully they can string a few together to start off. Love the positive vibes this group gives off as a team, seems better overall than the past couple of years. Hoping for another, and a bigger crowd, on Saturday!

I thought this team played hard and is just appears much improved from the start of the season. If Zid is back and playing at his best, the team will definitely pose a challenge in every game in the MAC. The team seems to give off a lot more positive energy overall as a unit than the past couple of years. The previous teams tended to have a few "negative nellies" with a lot of bad body language both on the floor and bench. If Chatman can add to the team, it will only improve their chances. If not, I think this team can still contend in every game. I'd love to see this group catch fire early and rattle off 3 or 4 in a row to build some great momentum as the students return.

Well said. I'm not sure how many waves the women's team will be able to make in the MAC this season, but the men's team will be competitive and have a chance in Cleveland. What % that equates to, no idea, but they will have a better chance than most.

Forever a Bull. Has to be more to this story. If not, then as far into bizarro land that I thought we were in, we are in much deeper of it than I could've imagined.

It's hard to win versus a team that is supposed to be better than you when the whistles are tight in the 1st half putting many guys in foul trouble. Then Zid gets dinged up too, causing another issue. This team will be competitive in the MAC.

They only have 3 fouls in 15 minutes. Clean D all the way for sure

Thanks for pointing it out every time

Toughen up

8 on 5 out there

Probably should fire Boals. Teams aren't allowed to have bad games, especially when they have a 75% new roster. Their players all suck too.

Ohio currently getting stomped on by Florida on espn2.

Happy to see the guys playing up to what their individual talents are, and taking care of things as a group over these past few games, especially the last 2 at home. Also happy for the coaching staff, who put together a team that does have some solid talent, after being depleted by graduation and a couple of transfers out. While this team won't be a top 25 team like a few years ago, this team is more than capable of competing in the MAC for a title. Will they win it? Maybe, maybe not. There's 12 teams in the league and their chances are better than many and likely comparable to the remainder. Let's hope they keep playing team basketball and staying within themselves. The record is now even and will likely move above .500 against a sub-par opponent on Tuesday, before hitting a gauntlet over the rest of the month before MAC play. Fun times recently, let's hope it continues!

I think the Bulls win by 10 today. Time to put this "rivalry" to bed with this new squad.

That team played well together and the coach was big time all-in throughout. They hit a ton of shots, especially down the stretch. Disappointing that this is the team we played even with, especially after the past many years of success, but unfortunately this is our world now, at least for this season.

Steratore called it a 2 on the floor as he came over to review. It looked like a 3 from the one angle, but not conclusive. The out of bounds seemed apparent, but not to their eyes, I guess.

1pm on a Friday afternoon? I guess they want no one attending.

Nice win. Good to see the Adams we hoped for, hopefully we can see this more consistently. The team has had a different guy/guys play decent every game. We can see the talent is there, now they just need to put it together as a group. Other than the stinker vs JMU and a bit of being a little overmatched vs UConn, they've gone 2-2 against teams that are basically toss up games. For the early season, it's just good to see some growth after today's win, especially considering they could've won each of the first two games in paradise, before letting them slip away. It'll be nice to see how they do against Canisius, as they should beat them handily (although likely won't, but hopefully will at least pull out a nice W).

I don't see how MM is an up and comer, no thanks

Powell is the one "strong" guy on this team. Others when going inside make me nervous due to their lean-ness. Jack is close too, but the rest seem to get bounced around. I like this team though. Just wish for 10lbs more each!

It wouldn't be the first time.
