Sagarins would have EMU by 11.
Vegas has EMU by 10.
I say, sure, we'll be loaded for bear today.
EMU 57, NIU 47 (first to 50 wins, NIU won't make it today).
We haven't been much of a revenge team. We play every game almost the same.

Well since we've only played one "revenge" game this year (Akron), I'm not sure how you can quantify that statement.
As for the game, it's sneakily important for seeding purposes. NIU is right on our butts, and a win tonight would create some distance between us and them. Plus there is no way we play as bad as we did in the first game, and no way that Threloff kid has a career game again. I'm looking for KWard to have another big game.
EMU 58
NIU 45

Easy I compare past years not just this one!

I definitely agree about Threloff.
He ate us up with Riley and GB III out. We need at least one in there to neutralize him.
Past year's teams aren't this team.

He ate up Hughley and that kick started a big run for them. If Riley comes out, we'll see lots of Ajayi. I wouldn't expect Mo to play much today.

Yes, he ate up Hughley. If I remember right, it was seconds after Riley took a seat that Threloff went to work. Almost like turning on the faucet and the water gushes.
I think GB III was sitting so he had a good time without Riley and defensive help from GB III.

Revenge games don't have much to do with the current seasons games. It is about games played in the past. And this team hasn't shown any fire for any game being a revenge game. Of course there is always a first time for everything.

You make such little sense. We play several teams multiple times in a season, so there are plenty of "revenge game" opportunities with current season games.
As for this team "not having any fire" for your definition of revenge games (games in the past), we've beat Oakland, Bowling Green, Kent State, Toledo, WMU, and CMU...all teams that beat us last year. So I really don't get your point.

Why am I not surprised? Because we didn't play like they were revenge games! Duh! The only revenge games per say where Toledo and Ohio. Duke should have been, Purdue and Cleveland St. All MAC games should be revenge games!
Ajayi is playing like its a revenge game... :)
Another crappy offensive performance is on tap.
Ohio is losing by a big margin to Kent.
Chance to get one game behind if we win and they lose.
On pace for 44 points at home against NIU. I think Murphy deserves an extension and a raise.
Thank god games are two halves long. That was a terrible 20 minutes. Lucky to be down just 6.
Murphy must be lighting them up! Still now out on the floor with less than 30 seconds left to start the second half! Here they came at 22 seconds!
I've stopped watching the stat site to depressing!
On a + note, Ajayi continue to improve defensively and rebounding.
