2 pm ESPN+. Let’s hope we take this one seriously.
Eastern 1-10 on the road this season. They are in midst of 3 game stretch Thursday/Sat/Tue all on road vs OU, KSU, Buffalo

Let’s keep our winning streak moving….

Outstanding 2nd half for Kent.

Santiago and Jacobs superb !!

Well done Flashes.

In two games vs EMU, the Flashes scored 58 and 55 in the second halves.

Odd. This was a team that couldn't shoot the ball or score much, then all of a sudden over the last four wins they are averaging 83.5 ppg and shooting well. I've played the game, coached the game and followed the game for close to 70 years and most of the time I still don't understand why what happens, happens. BTW, is Jarred Logan still on the team? I didn't see the game but noticed he was the only player not to get in the game.

You meant ,
First game vs EMU in Jan they scored 56 the ENTIRE game.
Today 55 in just second half. 90 for game.
Crazy game. First game tough to watch. Today they looked way better

Gio got his shot back and it's so enjoyable to watch. Not being able to see in person last year it's tough to really gauge but i think his release has gotten faster this year. He looked really confident and had a very fast release today. 5-8 plus another make with his foot on the arc. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come. The game was only close in the first half because EMU was on fire from three. We gave up some wide open looks but they also knocked down a couple in the first half that were very well contested.

Logan is still on the team and was dressed. I think he didn't get in because, with Johnson back, they had enough guys that don't play much to fill out the garbage time lineup.

Correct, duh. I was thinking of the 2nd half of the BG game when we scored 58.

Great to see things coming together.

Thanks, anti-zip. I imagine he will be a candidate for the portal. Lots of players on lots of teams will.

There is always room for one more here in the transfer portal. Just remember the motto…

If things don’t work out for you right away…just quit baby!!

The women outscored EMU in the second half 45-29 Saturday and 42-18 in their first game with the Eagles.

The liberalizing of transfer rules is definitely a benefit for certain players. One example would be a player who sees that he just isn't good enough to compete at a certain level. What I hate is when a player who is playing a lot thinks he is worthy of moving up. Often, they aren't, and the grass isn't always greener elsewhere.

He had 21 points in only 15 minutes!

They started emptying the bench with intention with about 2 minutes left. Even Mike Digiulio came in with 15 seconds left (Jeremiah Hernandez saw him at the scorers table and committed a foul to allow him to sub in).
Logan must be ineligible, hurt, or otherwise unable to play.

I assume you're right anti-zip. Under the weather, in the "dog house"...plenty of possible reasons.

That’s a really nice gesture, only 15 seconds but probably meant the world to Mike,

You got that right, Polish Hammer. Unless a coach happened to have been in that situation as player, they probably don't realize how even a few seconds matters to someone at the end of the bench.
