DocCas86 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Tonight is MAC opener for UB / Halcovage. Rankings on Kenpom and Bartorvik have CMU ranked slightly better, with CMU favored between 4 and 7 points. However, current spread is only 1.5 points per ESPN. CMU looks to be without one of their better offensive players 6'10" Markus Harding which may explain the small overall spread. Both teams have struggled offensively, and turn the ball over often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuchMany Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I'm not sure we get to call this a "must win" days after losing our last "must win." But it really feels like we need to take one of the directional Michigan games this week just for morale purposes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per rankings CMU is the second worst MAC team - and UB only gets one shot at them this season - hopefully they get the 'w'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DooleyBull06 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) How about a just win. Just win a game. I don’t care how pretty. I don’t care how ugly. Just win. Edited January 2 by DooleyBull06 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyjee Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Not a huge sample size but so far this season CMU has shot well from three at McGuirk. 42% if my math is right. Could be a problem for us. 10-20 v Detroit Mercy 9-21 v Valparaiso 10-28 v UL Monroe Go Bulls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def something to watch. Defending the perimeter and rebounding will be key in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am always right LOL. https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/ncaab/teams/main/central-michigan-chippewas/injuries You are correct rebounding and defending the 3 could be a factor...but it may be about who turns it over less.

Haha. Agree about turnovers. If we want any chance of making it to Cleveland, these are the games we gotta win. Soft landing to start conference as opposed to seeing Ohio vs Toledo.

They just said on pregame, they expect Harding to play, so I may have been ....wrong. Supposedly some personnel news coming from GH after commercial break.

MuchMany Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Keep getting our best players the right looks - open threes for Adams and Sabol, dump downs and ORebs for Chatman and Jo. No one else should shoot except for open layups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
