Dabulls Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Should be a great game! Thankfully we will have a healthy lineup going into the game. Turner will be hard to stop but Ball State found ways to neutralize him. If we can slow down Turner I believe we will come away with a win. I don’t believe Swindle will be able to cover Mballa all to well so BGs paint presence shouldn’t be too much of a worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee4three Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 This is a big game, a couple things it should show 1. Lets see if the recent games are UB and its players maturing or if they are the same team as last season - very streaky 2. The Mac is starting to separate into tiers, are we gonna be in the top tier with Toledo and maybe Ohio or will we be in the tier just below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mac is starting to separate into tiers, are we gonna be in the top tier with Toledo and maybe Ohio or will we be in the tier just below I agree with these. Can't help but feel like this is a benchmark game. BG is clearly one of the top teams in the conference - regardless of their loss to Ball State. It's fair to call Toledo the favorite, but can we put UB in the "contenders tier" along with teams like BG and Ohio? For as much as we've beaten a dead horse over the past few months, this team is actually playing fairly well right now, all things considered. We all know the concerns - free throw shooting, bench production - but they've looked like an entirely different team with Mballa back and healthy. Obviously only March will matter in the grand scheme of things, but a win tonight could put the rest of the conference on notice that UB is still a top dog. For what it's worth, Vegas has UB as a 5-point favorite. I expect a close back-and-forth battle between two good teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121Merrimac Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Meaningless in the grand scheme, but I enjoy when the women and men play the same team in back to back games. Especially when they are all near the top of the conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xDerekRx Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Ive generally never been one to get too up or down throughout the season. Its too difficult even in our best years recently the start is not always indicative of the finish. However tonight's performance would go a long way in showing that this group could be legit and more consistent. Even if they lose Ive already loved what Ive seen from most of the big guys compared to last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubbulls84 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Graves has been such a disappointment. Supposed to be a senior leader, more like a senior turnover. Couldn’t have a worse start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BasketBull Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Worst I’ve seen Mballa play. Couple that with a poor outing from Williams and Graves and you’ve got a recipe for a real bad night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
