Luckily Buffalo doesn't have the inside presence that it did last year. Hopefully Brandon and Tim can hold their own until Thompson can get minutes in the 2nd half.

The student section looks good but my understanding is that it was mandatory attendance they are just sitting there for the most part.

How do we travel so often?? It's one of the most basic concepts in basketball. It also seems to happen in very unnecessary and stress free one on one situations.

We've got absolutely nothing going on offensively. Where were the double screens we were running? Falling into the trap we set ourselves of only shooting deep/contested 3s.

Murphy rewarding Perry and Nobles with some minutes tonight. Foul trouble playing a part in that but both are playing solid D and making the most of it.

Trent Perry is out-scoring Raven.

OMG. I cannot stand Steiner's voice! he is killing me.

Hey team - what's the score and time?

31-30 UB 39 seconds left in half.

crazy game. Not pretty. I hate all of the fouls and traveling. Seems the officials are calling everything as traveling.

UB turnovers. We are not rebounding and hence few fast break points.

Being out rebounded by more than 2 to 1. The team is going back on defense as soon as the shot is released.

Hope everyone is listening to Chad's interview with Christian Spears. Christian is a very good dep AD.

Halftime scores:

BG 33 Ohio 38
Akron 40 CMU 40
BSU 33 WMU 25
Miami 27 Kent 34
NIU 34 Toledo 32

Yep. Rule #1 in basketball:

Need missed shots and defensive rebounds for runout, fast break style basketball.

And, of course, with JT4 in foul trouble for 17 minutes of the game made things ugh.

I think Thompson got his first foul in what 60 or 90 seconds.

O/T: WMU (0 - 2) is getting beaten handily by BSU.

That team is really struggling.

They aren't even trying for an offensive rebound.

The only reason I picked us to go 8-10 in conference is that I think the MAC knows how to play a Rob Murphy zone, and our offense never has been impressive in his tenure. Obviously, our talent is much better than 8-10...

Murphy has to do something about Mangum. He is the weak link.

Nice bounce back game for Toney. He is smoking Bearden off the dribble.

We are not playinga true 2 - 3 zone more like a 2-2-1 or 4- 1.
