Tuesday's game will be on some channels (ASN). It is a 9:00 p.m. game. (guess I nap first).
Saturday afternoon @Miami.
As some have been pointing out, this is the beginning of the 2nd third of the schedule.
Two games that we need to, and should, win. Ball State always worries me though. They did a great job against our zone last year and have tons of shooters. Franko House, who's been there for 10 years, is a really good passing big man. This will be a tough game.
And we haven't won at Millett Hall in a lonngggg time. Need to break that streak this year...we are way better than Miami.
With Luckeyone's coaching from the sidelines, EMU beats BSU.
My prediction:
EMU 78
BSU 71

W/out Luckey's coaching from the sidelines, Vegas says EMU by 8 or 8 1/2.
Everyone remembers what happened last time Ball State was in our gym. Let's not put ourselves in position for that to happen again and wipe the floor with them. We are way bigger and way faster. If we take care of the ball, close out hard on three point shooters, and not let Franko House control the game like he (and Bo Calhoun, who I am thrilled is gone) did last year, we should be just fine.
Also, James Thompson and Baylee Steele need to dominate tonight. Ball State's "big guys", House and Trey Moses, are 6'6 and 6'9 respectively. No reason for us to not control the paint.

Yikes that was nightmare of a game last year in double overtime.
I don't like this late start.........Makes my long drive home even longer.
I'm sure it is a pain to have a long drive home after a 9:00 pm tip.
As a viewer on TV, I don't mind us tipping at 9 too much. In fact, I'll enjoy being able to keep up with the other MAC games before ours (on the record, I HATE the fact that the MAC plays 6 games on Tuesdays). I see some power conferences start tips at 10:00 PM ET, which would be extreme...

Akron is just killing WMU.
Anyone know if ASN is being syndicated to local TV channels, like the MAC football games on ASN?
Just looked it up. The answer is no.
Anyone else having trouble getting the game on ESPN3?
I think the ASN feed (which is syndicated to ESPN3) is down. I've tried the ASN feed on their website and it's also down.

Thanks Frank.
ESPN3 now says the broadcast is experiencing technical difficulties... Awesome.
Oh well. Someone holler once it starts working. I'll be listening to Chad and Sean.
Willie gets hot.... then takes a tech. Great....
I could live stream it on fb.
Wheels falling off the bus early. Two techs, down by 10. Why on earth does Ball State bring the worst out of this team?
Maybe if the feed goes back down, we'll play better again.
