MuchMany Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Grabbing a win here would be a massive statement. It would establish pretty firm expectations for success in Cleveland. A hard-fought loss would still leave me hopeful that we can make noise in March. A blowout loss would continue the narrative of JW not being able to compete with the big boys. Excited to see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure we could all handle it, but what about Option #4 - a UB blowout win like we pulled off @ BSU?😂 But seriously, another solid and consistent performance to build on would be good to see. As of now ESPN.com has Kent as 10.5pt favorites with the over/under at 150.5, so a score somewhere around 80-70. FWIW, UB’s chance to win has gone up since prior to Tuesday’s games, from 9.5% to 12.7%. I’d like to think we have a little better chance than that but we’ll see how it goes. Go Bulls! 🤘 Edited January 28, 2023 by Bluebird96 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clodney Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Glass half empty guy here. If we had we shot our season averages of 47%/33%/68% (2pt, 3pt, FT) then it would have been a 4pt game against Ball State. I'm not saying it wasn't impressive but it will be very hard to replicate and is likely an outlier. Prove me wrong tonight, boys, and go take down the Flashes. If they win this one I will be much more optimistic about our chances in Cleveland. Edited January 27, 2023 by clodney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee4three Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 Turnovers will be the key tonight in my opinion, UB keeps the turnovers down they could pull the upset and at least keep it close Turnovers get out of control and it's a 20pt loss, Kent st like some of our out of conference opponents will make you pay for mistakes I want to see the assists and team ball on the offensive end and continued effort leading to fast break points on the defensive side Also curious if blocker gets any action guarding carry, he has been impressive defensively at times recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuchMany Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 The bad version has shown up early. Jack's hands have disappeared lately and Adams forces things like few are (in)capable of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuchMany Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Well, we're playing about as poorly as possible and only down 9. Could be worse. We look very rough though. LaQuil looks like covid-year LaQuil, yikes. Edited January 28, 2023 by MuchMany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubbulls84 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) It’s literally a turnover every possession seems like if they actually can hold possession they would have a chance. Edited January 28, 2023 by Ubbulls84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuchMany Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I don't mind the turnovers on passes as much as the sloppy footwork ones. It's a pretty specific point, but I can't believe that the staff hasn't hammered these guys on sharpening up their pivots and jabs. It looks like a high school team in that regard.
