Okay guys, just two hours before game time. Time to put our game faces on.

Still EMU by 1.5 or 2 points at the books in Vegas. (wish I were there). I'd take EMU and wouldn't think twice.

Lot of times, winning the CIT, etc. are spring boards to the NCAAs. Usually these teams are trending up and want to play the extra games.

Here's hoping we kick the snot out of them. Keep a good thing going. Just play with the intensity they did last week and they'll be fine.

McAdoo starting again.

Low quality feed again... We're spoiled amongst mid-majors in the MAC, I suppose.

Link for the feed anyone?

We are spoiled with the camera work at the Convo. This is brutal.

Watch CIT.com

Can't buy a shot. Not working it inside, either.

We haven't really been able to get set in the zone. Sam Houston is pushing the ball well.

Ugly ass arena too. No stands behind the benches, and no decorations on the white walk, which showcases 3 brown doors.

SHS is pretty active defensively. Their guards are especially physical. Reminds me of Miami.

Terrible charge call.

Even with the ****** feed it was easy to see that was bad. No flow on offense like there was last Wednesday.

Was just about to post that. McAdoo went to the side of him. A clear flop. College refs are the worst with charges.

Getting nothing from Minnie, Jackson, and Thompson right now. Naturally, it's been an ugly game.

Wow, this is bad.

Getting our asses kicked right now worse game since first half against Akron I think she wants it more than we do

Their defense is very effective and our treys are not connecting...

This is what a team that doesn't want to play in the CIT looks like. Worst half of the year. No energy, flow, athleticism equals bad results for this squad.

Jackson dribbling into everyone again. Minnie not shooting anything. No offensive flow. Here we go again. Akron 2.0

Yep, we look like we'd rather be anywhere else. Hopefully they turn it around.

So much dribbling into nowhere, with no purpose.
