DocCas86 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 All was quiet on the ' Western' front, so decided to get things started. The Bulls need to take care of this game tonight. WMU is ranked near the bottom of division l. They have lost at home to Ohio (12 points) and on road to Toledo (27 - adjusted to home game of 19 points). So to be considered peers for either of those two, a double digit win is expected. Looking at stats for WMU, they like to shoot 3s so defending 3 will be a key. Also they hit offensive boards reasonably well, so keeping them off the glass also a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for a strong performance. Is our team back to 100% strength? I haven't heard of injuries or Covid protocols. I'm assuming Hardnett may still be limited? Need to take care of business and not give WMU hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against teams with composite rank below 150, they are 3-2. They need to improve on this starting tonight.

DooleyBull06 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Hopefully the defense picks up with Mballa back. Coming off the bench, wonder if he is on a minutes limit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubbulls84 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 This team is one of the worst in Mac. We are missing chip shots, getting out worked. Tired of hearing excuses, should be blowing this team away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee4three Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I know graves graduated but how did this team completely fall apart from last season The stretch from February to the mac championship game they were a legit tournament caliber team.

DooleyBull06 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 What I don’t get is that we have been off since last Wednesday…are we freaking practicing? There looks like no cohesion and game plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There looks like no cohesion and game plan. You would think chemistry wouldn’t be an issue with guys who have been together for 3 years. And in some cases longer.

clodney Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 WMU is 50 spots or so behind Canisius. Nice to see we're in a dogfight with them thus far. Anyone else notice the correlation between losing to god awful teams and Jeenathan shooting like 2 for a 1,000? Hey, buddy, stop effing shooting!

DooleyBull06 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Terrible first half but only down 1. Tighten up on defense, make a few 3s and keep pounding the ball down low. Maybe we can win. Oh and shoot better FTs Edited January 12, 2022 by DooleyBull06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
