DocCas86 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Another road game against the second ranked team in the MAC. Toledo is coming off a 5 point win against Ball St. Current spread is 15.5 points. Toledo is once again among the best offensive teams in the MAC. They shot high percentage for both 2-pointers and 3-pointers. UB will need to find a way to slow Toledo down and to find a way to take advantage of a somewhat porous Toledo defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrabukes Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 It should be another game where I'm on the edge of my seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB92 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Akron slept through the first half of the last game against UB and, I strongly suspect, the Toledo coach will use that to fire up his guys against at team more than 200 slots behind them in the NET Rankings. Even on a sort of bad night for Akron where UB showed some hope, they still lost by 17. I am not sure what the number will be tonight, but I expect a little more focus out of Toledo early on and a wider gap at halftime than the Akron game. I'd like to see Boldin get more touches. I mean, the guy played 24 minutes last game and had 0 assists, 0 blocks, 0 turnovers, and 0 fouls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyjee Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 The one thing I see is that Toledo tends to give up more points to guards relative to their competition (that is, if you trust my math... which...). Maybe Sabol, Boldin, and Fulcher find themselves open and if Sabol gets hot... who knows. My expectations are at the floor. In my estimation, Toledo or Akron will be representing the MAC in March, so, another tough one here. I hope we cover. I hope they prove me wrong and win. Go Bulls 🤘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skrabukes Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Good half overall. Some sloppiness, but being tied is great. We'll see whether or not Kowalczak shows GH3 his experience during the 2nd half, or if this can be his coming out party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee4three Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Solid first half, we seen this a few times in Mac play already and the second half has been a different story Let's see what's in store in the second half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocCas86 Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Hey @UBinMD do I say my announcer line about first four minutes of the second half? The team played well for 20 minutes, can they find a way to play solid 40 minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue03 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 If they didn’t have some sloppy turnovers within the last minute we could be holding a lead at half. Time for the customary UB 10 minute stretch where it all falls apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebird96 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 There’s been an Isaiah Adams sighting in Toledo. 2/4 from 3 with rest of the team just 1/9. Let’s get hot in the 2nd half for a change and shock the Rockets! 🤘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyjee Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) Every time I see Graham or McVeigh on the floor it reminds me of the Nickelberry era where I'm just sitting here hoping we survive these minutes. Is there any news on Kanye? Also not sure why Zaakir isn't in the rotation I feel like he's been giving us career best minutes recently e: Zaakir must be hurt(?). I think I see him in civilian clothes on the bench Edited January 17 by eyjee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird96 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) Still waiting for the version of Graham who shot 43% from 3 at MoSt. He’s down to 5.9% at UB (1/17) including tonight’s 0/3 thus far. If we could get anything from him and Adams could return to last year’s form for the rest of this season, we’d be in business Edited January 17 by Bluebird96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally appear to be the part and then offer far far less. Kanye no show. Z in street clothes. McVeigh is just so pedestrian out there.

eyjee Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 This is our best defensive effort of the season so far by a long shot. I hope this is a sign of comfort and familiarity in the system. A sign of things to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
