MAC Basketball Opening Night
Every home team won. Toledo beat Buffalo by 32pts, Ohio beat WMU by 31pts, EMU beat CMU by 22pts, Kent St beat BSU by 10pts, Akron beat BGSU by 5pts and Miami beat NIU by 2pts. Every team that won made more 3pters except EMU made 5 to CMU's 7 thus keeping that stat close and winning the game. Ohio made 16 threes, Miami made 11 threes, Kent St made 9 threes, BSU made 8 threes, Akron made 10 threes, Toledo made 7 threes, CMU made 7 threes. MAC teams can make threes. Buffalo, NIU, WMU and BGSU all only made 4 each and all lost!

NIU cant make threes because there is absolutely no ball movement. The stagnation of this offense is almost unbearable to watch.

That is not true, they are missing open 3 pts shots.

Huskies lost tonight because they turned the ball over too much and gave Miami way way too many open 3 pointers to sink and sink them they did. We hit free throws well, and had a hard time buying a 3.

Sophomore slump: Wilson last year .413% from three this year .280%. Bradley last year .412% from three this year .208%. Pauga last year .452% from three this year .235%. If just one of them can find their 3pt shot it will make a big difference in wins and losses.

I just don't see it, there is way too much stagnation in this offense. Its like when each player has the ball, they are the only ones on the court, it is bizarre. Until the ball actually moves around, the shooting percentage will stay where it is in my opinion.

I'm beginning to wonder if it's more than a sophomore slump. Seems like the older players are taking steps back also. Like they get worn down and are just going through the motions or something.

There are only three guys that are older than sophomores Maric, Armstead and Highsmith. you really can't even count Highsmith but those guys are playing decent.

Yea I suppose that's true. I haven't seen every game, I saw some where they didn't play as well.
