Should be a great game...CMU had a very tough loss to Kent the other night. I listened to the game on the radio and the Chips led most of the way. CMU is one of the top teams in the MAC and this Kaman is something else. He and Kevin Netter, 6' 10", should have an interesting matchup. If Netter gets in foul trouble, BG is in BIG trouble.

Tough assignment for the Falcons tomorrow. We've had some kids with the flu bug (Netter and Cory Eyink were puking in buckets at Athens Tues night)...and with 7 schollie players and 3 walk ons that makes it even more interesting

But, we have made it to 10-7, 6-3 MAC so thru it all it has been an exciting year so far.
Ill be listening over the net....GO BG!

Halftime: <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>CMU</span></span> 37, BUGS 23. :D

BG now down by 24...54-30 with 15 min left.

Why is it that BG falls behind by such big margins and have to come back? CMU playing well today.

<span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>CMU 67</span></span>, BGSU 46

11 painful minutes and 46 excrutiating seconds remaining. Perhaps I should offer you a ?

Kevin Netter fouls out but Kaman only has one charged foul with 5 min left?
The difference today is CMU couldn't miss....scorching the nets.
We'll pay you back on the gridiron since we don't get you at home in bb.

Congrats Chippewas....

Well, Kaman's had his share of foul trouble, at times (four against Kent, two in the 1st half had him out for awhile), so it's all part-and-parcel.

Get us back? I think perchance you misunderstood. This was our payback for your football team beating us in our house!

Thanks for the congrats! I'll be pulling for you to beat Kent (again) on Thursday! :wave:

Post-game analysis:

With our bench contributing just eleven points (five by freshman <span style='color:red'>Brandon Voorhees</span> in just five minutes of play), <span style='color:red'> Tony Bowne</span> really stepped-up his play, scoring a career-high 18 points. More and more, we see why this guy has taken a spot in the starting rotation. Tough, hard-nosed, and willing to do whatever is necessary for the team. In one game, it was contributing 10 assists; yesterday, it was knocking down 4/5 3-pt shots among 7/9 total. I've seen him sacrifice his body to draw a charge from bigger players (he's 6'3", 210lb) more than once. Tony's now averaging 4.8 ppg, 3.2 rpg, & 3.0 apg and is providing the kind of unselfish, hard-nosed play we need.

CMU once again enjoyed big contributions from leaders <span style='color:red'>Chris Kaman</span> and <span style='color:red'>Mike Manciel</span>, who contributed 21points/14 rebounds/6 blocks and 20 points/7 rebounds, respectively. Although CMU had 17 turnovers, that's a couple less than average, and the Chippewas forced 16.

Your payback? Fair enough...but we do get CMU in Perry Stadium next yr

CMU shot over 50% and over 44% from behind the arc :eek: :eek:

It was the Chips' day for sure....

Go on to the next one....Beat Kent!!!!!!

I just read in the Toledo blade that CMU suited up 17 players yesterday???
Sheese! BG had 10...7 on scholarship and 3 walk ons....not a good matchup! :eek:

Yep, and 13 played, although a couple got in for less than a minute each. Actually, I was suprised Kaman played 36 minutes. With the way things were going, I'd have thought he'd sit out the last five or so. Depth behind him is a concern, though.


Re: Perry Stadium. I may just have to make it down there one of these days. Maybe instead of one of our two home games against I-AA. :rolleyes:

Wow...I was surprised also that Kaman was in there so long. Good for you guys he didn't get injured.

As far as 1-AA games, guess what? BG has TWO home games agaist 1-AA this yr! Problem started when La Monroe (who is practically 1-AA anyway) bought out their game with us this fall so they could play at LSU. We already had one 1-AA home game against Liberty but needed another home game. We originally knew UTAH had an open date but that wishful thinking didn't happen. So the date was filled with Bill Clinton's alma mater Morehead State. Good thing our 2 other OOC games are At Purdue and at Ohio State. Big paydays and who knows? I know BG can beat Purdue but OSU will be difficult. But ya never know...All I do is remember back to 1991 and 1992 when CMU went into E Lansing and beat Mich St twice!
that was great!!!!!!
