Ohio suffers a road defeat to Robert Morris, 84-76. My guess is they were looking ahead to playing us. They will be a mad clowder of Bobcats we will see next week.

The Colonials hit 66.7% of their threes and 56.4% overall and outrebounded Ohio by two. The Bobcats continued their outstanding 3 point shooting (41.9%) but it was not enough.

We will smoke Ohio

We will destroy poor defensive teams...Not sure if Ohio is one of those teams

But it looks like they got beat by 1 man 8-8 from 3 and 10-10 overall...That dude was hot.

After this past weeks festivities, I feel the Tigers will have a very focused effort against Ohio.

We will be lucky to get the win if they continue to play as they have and we as we have. Very sound fundamentally and we will have to shoot much better than we have if we are to win. Type of team that gives us fits.

Awesome. A #7 seed is getting harder to reach all the time.

Don't think Ohio will be easy. They got to the Sweet 16 last season, and they returned their entire team this season. NOT just their starting lineup. The entire team, every player but one guy who played in 3 games. RMU got blazing hot from 3 last night.

Wow, Mr Glass half empty guy here. We could still lose 5 more games and get a 7 seed.

Damn

Based on review of the stats, Ohio is a very good three point shooting team (40.3%). The key (just as a fan - I am no expert) is challenging their shots, make them miss, grab long rebounds, and race to score. We can turn their strength into a weakness.

Bobcat Season Stats

If we don't defend the 3 ball well it will be a difficult nite. However, if the Tigers defend and score from the arc they are almost unbeatable. We know how well Adonis and Geron were shooting 3's during the pre season. Their current stats of 11% and 14% from the arc tells me the best is yet to come.

Just put, Geron "Bulldog" Johnson on their best scorer, we get the win.

Free throws. Ohio is in the bottom 5 of putting their opponents on the FT line.

Make em count.

And protecting the ball.... Ohio is second in the nation in forcing turnovers.

We're looking at you, Joseph.

It happens.

We lost when kids went 5/5 from three- some poor rotations, sometimes just hot shooting.

I don't think Adonis should ever shoot another 3
