Bluebird96 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 So, Ohio lost. If UB hits 2 more 3’s tonight (Brewton? Jack?) we’d be the 2 seed, correct?  As up and down and disappointing as this season has been at times, it’s amazing that after all of that, we were that close to stealing the 2. Ohio practically tried handing it to us this last week but we just couldn’t take advantage. Brand new season in Cleveland… now let’s go steal the MAC title, Bulls!

Bluebird96 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Unreal that CMU lost 8 of their last 9 but still made it to Cleveland. But in all fairness, even if they had played those 2 cancelled games vs UB and Ball State and lost, they would be 6-14 and I believe would still have the tiebreaker over BGSU and NIU as CMU was 1-0 vs both of them.

Maybe it is foolish optimism on my part, but still pulling for these guys to succeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind he didn’t play against them earlier this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is foolish optimism on my part, but still pulling for these guys to succeed. If Mballa returns to form, I think UB will beat Akron. I think the biggest key to a run will be how Toledo performs in a different atmosphere. If the Rockets play like they’ve been all season, I don’t think Buffalo can upset them but if the Rockets start missing looks they normally hit, they’ll be vulnerable and anything could happen.

Maybe it is foolish optimism on my part, but still pulling for these guys to succeed. Agree, UB needs the Mballa of old to have a realistic shot in Cleveland. He’s just been a different player most of this season, has looked clumsy with the ball and tentative at times.  We need a consistent 3rd scoring threat behind Jeenathan and Segu, two remarkably consistent players this year with JW scoring in double figures in every game he’s played and Rondo in all but 3 (with 9, 9 and 7 pts in those 3 games). Jack has been disappointing for the most part, plays hard and grabs more rebounds than I would’ve expected, but 30% shooting from 3 was not expected. Hopefully he’s saving the best for last. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuchMany Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Did Akron play all-out vs CMU? Did they have anything to play for? If so, not exactly a performance that should strike fear in our hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we need a good rebounding effort bc Freeman can rebound despite his height. Very winnable game. It’s not about fear, it’s about our confidence in this team 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
