MAC play continues. EMU needs to get past their disappointing loss to UB.
The BG game is close to a 'must win' so that the team does not fall below .500 if they lose to Ohio Saturday.
My prediction:
We find a way to beat BG
EMU 79 BG 71
We find a way to lose to Ohio
Ohio 81 EMU 72
I hope that I'm wrong and we're 3-1 we have a must win BG game.
Finally, EMU wears a warm up shirt that reads "Cut down the nets - no doubt about it" indicating EMU wins the MAC Basketball Championship...This will inspire the opposing team. If Murphy is smart, he'll never wear those shirts again. We have not even come close to winning the MAC Championship under Murphy so maybe we should play hard one game at a time.
I've seen Bowling Green in person twice. Once against Detroit and once against Norfolk State. They like to run and can be dangerous when the threes are falling. Wiggins for them is a moose inside and I fear could trouble Thompson like Buffalo did.
They have been hot at home at the Stroh despite only a few fans.
I'll be making the trip down after work.
If we have any dreams of a first round bye, I think the BG game is a must-win. Can't see us going to Athens and winning, so we need to be 2-2 at week's end.
EMU 2 point favorite tonight.
Agree it is a 'must' win game.
Arena is 95% empty down here in BG
But we only ever hear stuff about EMU when it comes to attendance problems. Save for a couple schools, it's a conference-wide issue.
Lee suspended indefinitely.
Ray Lee suspended indefinitely. WTF come onnnnnnn
With Lee out and Toney hobbled, I'd go with Bond at PG and Mangum at SG. Let Toney come off the bench.
I'd go Nobles, Steele, and JT4.
Need to see the depth tonight: Madray, Jones, LWH, etc.
Story of that kid's career. Just never grew up.
Going to be A LOT of pressure on Willie and Timmy tonight with Lee out and Toney still hurting. We literally don't have any other scholarship guards.
Probably going to see Nobles at the two a little bit.
Is ESPN3 not working for anyone else?
Same. Must be delayed. Was there a women's game beforehand?
No, no woman's game beforehand
I don't even see Lee on the bench
It's not delayed, WEMU has it going.
really, really fun game to watch. EMU is running like crazy now...
Magnum and coach with a heated exchange during the huddle. Kicked Magnum out of the huddle and separated by coach Brown.
