fordflash35, the people who wanted to "bury them" had good reason. Those who still had hope that they would turn it around had no objective reason to so hope. I think we are all happy for the way they have played the last 8 or 9 games, whatever it has been after a rotten performance at Toledo, but I fail to see what evidence there was for anyone to foresee the turnaround. That's just sports. You never know.

So that's 8-1 over the last 9 games. I might make the drive to Cleveland.

Just got home from the Q and wanted to pop in and say congratulations. Walker made a heck of a shot. As a fan, you cant get upset when you just get beat. That was a good, fun game. Good luck tomorrow.

The reason to believe they could turn it around was talent. Anyone could see this team has a ton of talent even when they were losing.

anti-zip, if you saw that "this team has a ton of talent even when they were losing", my hat's off to you! You clearly are a better judge of talent than I am. I've been around basketball since the late 1950's, playing it, watching it, even coaching it some, and all I saw, on the whole, was mediocrity. I can't believe I was in the minority. I was wrong. You were right. I'm glad I was wrong and you were right.

Of course, anti-zip, it could just be a matter of semantics. I did see "POTENTIAL" talent. But, it has been my experience that most of the time potential talent doesn't develop into talent. This time it did.

Your both right! I don't think this team is incredibly talented but the league is also not incredibly talented. Jaylin Walker's final basket to me is a microcosm of how the team has evolved. Earlier in the year, he probably would have launched a 3 but last night did the smart thing and drove to the hole.
Anybody ranting "I told you so" is being childish. I think many of us were upset simply because we were losing games we know we could have been winning (not because we thought the players stunk or the coaches couldn't coach). Players were playing out of control and tried to do too much. Finally, they seem to be taking to the coaching and playing their roles. They have drastically cut down on the turnovers and that alone has put them in every game.

It was - I thought both teams played their hearts out - there were points when either team could have quit and didn't. I think Kent made a three with about two minutes left and the guy next to me said dagger! I said don't count on it! I just hope KSU has gas left in the tank for Akron! Phillips did a great job after losing Campbell
