Usually the day before.

EMU is a 3.5 point underdog and +1.50 to win the game (bet $10 and win $15, returning $25).

Couple of nice Minnie and JT4 dunks early.

Entertaining game. Lot of EMU highlight plays by JT4, Minnie, Bond, etc.

This is a good thing: Most of our offense has been on the run in transition. Converting 4 buckets from 5 steals. Allowing us to keep up offensively.

Yep, a dunk fest. Transition game is looking really good.

First half analysis:

1). Very good defense and transition game.

2). Not good trey and FT shooting.

3). Kent's 3-ball shooting is keeping them in the game.

When we learn to shoot (not score, but shoot, like jumpers, 3-balls, etc.) we will be very difficult to beat in this conference.

Don't hold your breath.

Fast break baskets? This needs to happen as we are just too fleet afoot from the rest of the MAC. If you want to solve our achilles heel of allowing offensive rebounds, just break out for layups and dunks at the other end. Minnie, Nobles, Groce and Bond are just plain too fast for the rest of the league, it's time to exploit that advantage.

IF we win this game and CMU loses to UB, we'll be in the top 8 and hold position for a first round home game.

Still would have a shot at a first round bye as we'd be 5 - 6 competing against 6 - 5 teams for a 1st round bye.

Only UB and Tol are in the driver's seat at the top of their divisions.

I wish we had the discipline to get the points, run up a lead rather than going to the alley oop so often.

Coming out of the half flat, flat, flat...

Ellison is really having trouble with his shot. Our true frosh are not scorers.

Ah yes, here is the 2nd half collapse.

Kent St is VERY versed in the flop and subsequent whine to the refs.

I like that Thompson is finally rolling aggressively to the hoop on pick and rolls, and that Jackson and co are finally throwing him some alley oops. That's there every time.

1:24 away from a win @Kent and that is not sometime we ever, ever do...

Free throw shooting...the bane of this team's existence.
