Yet Mballa gets hammered the refs barely blow the whistle. Anytime Frank Spencer refs, expect the worst. He's by far the worst there is. Thank goodness we haven't had him.this season until today. I remember when we had him a bunch when Hurley was here, lost control of every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch out for them to start fouling Jordan if he’s out there. Gonna come down to execution on offense and making free throws. three 1-1s coming up here too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTH is Williams throwing a back pass threw his legs. He needs to mature. And quickly!

121Merrimac Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 The Blue Collar Award is a good thing, right? (I thought so, and still do, for the most part). It’s just that I started wondering... if having an individual award might be part of the reason some players post individual stats more often than some fans would like...

UB85 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I’ve seen enough. This one is over. Good road win with a lot of positives. Still some less than intense and intelligent play in second half with big halftime lead. Still much to learn and improve on. Onward and upward!!

DooleyBull06 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Great road victory. Hopefully this is as much a mental victory for the teams growth and confidence going forward. We survived the Toledo run and and punched back. Something we’ve not done in games past. Keep playing defense like we did tonight. I really think the foul disparity was a catalyst for Toledo’s second half spurt. Horrible officiating. This was a confidence building gut check win. Go Bulls!

Consider it a positive outcome either way I guess. Bottom line is let’s take care of our house. Ball St at home is huge bc a win would even the head to head against them and improve our seeding.

Let’s say we beat Ball St, lose on the road to Kent and split with either Akron (at home) or BG (on the road) that’s 11-7. The linchpin to all this is Ball St. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire17 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Nice win. Toledo has lost 12 of their last 16 games. Bulls had better gird their loins for next Tuesday at home against Ball St. If Buffalo can win that, then perhaps they can make a run for a bye. Doubtful, but possible.

squire17 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Interesting: UB has completely stymied the top two MAC 3 point shooting teams- Akron and Toledo. Both on the road, no less! Seemed as though (especially in second half) that Toledo was easily able to get to the rim. Bulls are late in switching to pick up the driver.

squire17 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Bulls 7 of 8 from 3 in first half. 1 of 14 in second half. Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde. Edited February 15, 2020 by squire17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought in the second half, especially early on, they settled and took bad 3s. Again points to one of the season bugaboos: poor shot selection. I think Jordan air balled a 3 and Grant shot two bricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire17 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) And N Illinois loses to Miami. If UB wins on Tuesday and Friday, they will be in fourth place. Edited February 15, 2020 by squire17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing 1 or 2 of these next games puts them in a really tough spot. Not really interested in playing EMU, Miami, or Ohio to make it to Cleveland. They’ve all had wins against the top of the conference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Some are speaking like the game against Kent St is a gimme. Every game is a big game and must win. But the game against against Kent wouldn’t shock me if we are underdogs. The game against Ohio is one of two “should” wins games remaining. Miami at home being the other. The other 4 games can go either way. Let’s beat Ball St first and move up a seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocCas86 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I want the same outcome as everyone, namely going (at least) 4-2 the rest of the way. I am not as concerned with seeding, as probabilities of winning MAC will be maybe 7% as 5 seed vs 10% as 4 seed. However, I see how they play down the stretch as an opportunity to build confidence and momentum heading into the tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
