DocCas86 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Update on MAC, NIU beat Akron tonight in Akron, so they are now 9-6 with a road game at Ohio remaining. This makes three losses in a row, two to teams in the bottom third of MAC. Not the time of season to start struggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, the other way around? Just curious, I won’t be cheering for either of them anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also we have the tie break on Kent with a game still left against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird96 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Agree, we’re not catching Ohio. But if they beat Kent tomorrow and UB beats Kent in the final game, then we’d be in good position to grab the 3 seed the way Akron keeps dropping games. Would we rather play a 3/6 matchup with Ball State who’s given us 2 tough games, or a 4/5 matchup with Akron? Tough call. If we dare to dream, maybe Toledo trips up one more time for their 4th loss before we play each other. Then as long as we take care of these next 4 games vs WMU, MOH, and NIU (2x), we’d be playing the Rockets for the 2 seed on March 1st. Two weeks ago, nobody would’ve given the Bulls a chance to even get into the top 3 let alone steal the 2, but as Ball State and now NIU have proven, anything is possible in the MAC! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIU and MOH are bound to be pesky, need to make sure you take care of those games. Toledo / Kent you want to play well and hopefully get win for some confidence heading into Cleveland. Win and the seed will take care of itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, can’t take any of these remaining games for granted. NIU and WMU are both on 2 game win streaks, and we know all too well what Miami is capable of doing. Ironically they’re probably our best hope to hang one more L on Toledo before UB plays the Rockets. Would be a bonus if that game could actually be for the 2 seed. Not saying any of this is likely, but the season has sure gotten a lot more fun these last 5 games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost no chance you can catch them. Its pretty important to try to get the 3 seed as the path is probably way better. I was also going to make a joke that I had to pick between watching UB EMU at noon or getting a root canal. I got a root canal, and I can say watching UB EMU would have been much preferred. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carter is a game time decision. Ohio is already thin bc McDay is out for the year and Wilson is redshirting. They don’t go deep off the bench. Only 7 guys get meaningful minutes. And at times Sears and Van Der Plaas play over 35 minutes. Their last 5 games they have gotten off to a slow first half starts. Kent state at home having won 7 straight. I looked at their last five games…I noticed they play many guys and have had different starting 5 combos. They can shoot the 3 well but struggle from the free throw line. Should be a good game. Ohio is there for the taking tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBulls99 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Can you believe Ken State? Ohio outscored them the entire second half (literally half the game!). Flashes need to do some soul searching… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
