Zero coverage. That's brutal when you're the only D-I basketball team in town. All the coverage was UM or MSU.

1) Generally, they don't cover hoops games until the morning of the game.
2) On weekends, the Free Press and News alternate covering sports, one on Saturday, the other on Sunday. I forget who covers it tomorrow. You will need to check both sites.
3) I can't belive that the MAC wants you guys to pay to watch internet games. Of course, that is probably the price of being in a "bigger" conference.
Good luck (after tomorrow!)
Thanks for the info and for stopping by. Both papers have a little blurb today focusing on Cotton's reinstatement to the team and not much else.
You could probably give us a real preview of the Titans if you have the time.
GL tonight!
Axeme,
Our strength is at the G as we have Cotton and Goode. Both capable of scoring in bunches. We also have a quick small PG sophomore (Payne) who is exciting to watch.
We graduated the best big man in the conference last year, so we are really hurting at C.
We have a new JUCO transfer at the 4, so I don't know how good he is yet.
Our 3 can be a pretty good mix of speed and athleticism (Stephens), or some guys that shoot from further away (Everingham, Shuma)
Outside of Cotton, Goode and Everingham, we are still a young team.
Supposedly, we are going to an up-tempo style of defense this year, so it will be interesting to watch.
I would expect a close game if we can play defense. Otherwise, could be a blowout by KSU.
Good luck trying to watch it over the internet. I guess some games are better that others.
What is the word on Kent State this year?
