Rockets up 60-55, 1:21 to play, BSU ball, BSU timeout.

Problems down the stretch...turnovers and poor free throw shooting

Rockets up 6. BSU at the line, 47.6 to play.

Rockets up 64-58, shooting 2, 33.9 to play.

Rockets win 70-65.

Duece hit at least 6 free throws in a row down the stretch, maybe more.

CMU 61 EMU 45 Final

20 Wins for the Lady Rockets. Disappointing to not win the west, but how many wondered if we could get 20 after Naama went down. It hasn't always been pretty, but the team played hard, and it was a true team effort.

My favorite stat for the year: 10 different players scored in double figures at least once this year. And 4 different players had a 20 point game.

Congratulations Lady Rockets! Good Luck in Cleveland!

probably better that they play a quarterfinal game in cleveland prior to playing EMU. one more chance to get a little more in sync...and if you can't beat whoever they'll play in the qtrs, then you didn't deserve anything more anyways.

We'll be projected to play Akron or Northern in the quarters, I think ... Northern is trailing WMU at the half though. EMU in the semis, and BG in the finals if the seeds hold.

We don't seem to be a good offensive team away from Savage, but our D can still be very good. I like a matchup against NIU, but Akron and EMU put up a lot of points. It would be horrible to loose to EMU 3 times, but they are a much better team than a lot of folks give them credit. And of course against BG anything can happen. We'll see.

By the way, thru Sunday's games RPIs are:

EMU: 58
BGSU: 59
UT: 81
Miami: 93

EMUs will take a hit losing to CMU. So ideally, I think we want BG to win the semi and lose in the final, and they "may" ... I repeat "may" have an outside shot at an at-large. If their SOS wasn't so horrible, I think they would have a good shot, but...

Here's where the new MAC tourney format hurts some, cause BG and EMU can only win 1 more game (if they don't win the championship) and that hurts as opposed to padding their RPI with another win.

I'm proud of this team for doing what they did without Naama. Tied for first in the west and a bye to the qtrs and maybe a chance to face eastern one more time

I said the same exact thing. I thought even worse of it when I remembered about this. http://www.bsu.edu/up/article/0,1370,132...17,00.html

Did BSU really score seven points in 34 seconds?
