Wonder how that akron kent game will draw on a Thursday night. I would assume pretty well.

I know it has been well attended in the semifinals in the past. We'll have to see how they do in the quarterfinals.

@NickPiotrowicz: Hard to believe David Brown's career is coming to an end. Like they always say, college is the best 11 years of your life.

Hahaha

Are these games on the tube? MAC site shows a link, but not sure if they work. Hoping to see Toledo tonight.

On time warner sports channel if that's your cable provider.

Otherwise they're on espn3

EMU's top three players minutes from Monday and Wednesday tourney games:

Ward 43 of 45 Minutes against Miami, 40 of 40 Minutes against BG
Tally 43 of 45 Minutes against Miami, 39 of 40 Minutes against BG
Lee 34 of 45 Minutes against Miami, 37 of 40 Minutes against BG

Hopefully three games in 4 days plus the amount of minutes these key players have played will take a toll on EMU tonight. But its also about how Toledo comes out and plays. If they are focused and dialed in, they have a excelent chance to move on to the Semi Finals tomorrow nght.

Bosnia will show it as well per the MAC site. OK, autocorrect turned BCSN into Bosnia or given the absurdity of the MAC site's errors, maybe it is being shown by Bosnian TV. Maybe it's on in Sand Diego, too.

Excellent, thanks all.

Rockets are a 4 point favorite tonight. Vegas must not have watched the game last Friday.

Also, akron a 1 point favorite over kent is surprising.

BG has a worse bench than ours. We would have won by double digits. EMU going on third game in four nights...I like our chances tonight. I suspect much practice was devoted to running an offense against the zone.

You've alluded to this a couple times now...but going on PPG, Toledo averages less.

Toledo's next 6 off the bench averaged 13.6 PPG this year. BG's was 16.2...and down the stretch, Denny was coming off the bench which would bump that total up to 21.4 PPG.

Anyway...good luck against the Hurons.

I was considering Clark as more of a starter but I guess he came off the bench quite a bit. Still seems like we got more minutes from our bench as the season wound down. Anyway, neither bench had a lot to offer. Not sure which team gets hurt more by losses. We return Boothe and Williams who are double figure scorers. Not sure BG returns any. Next year looks grim for both.

Akron defeated Kent State 53-51

Semifinals tonight. In addition to Toledo vs. Central Michigan, the Zips will meet Buffalo.

BG is definitely in worse shape...unless Jans recruits are immediate impact guys they should fall off quite a bit next year. Orr left the cupboard desolate.

Gomez?

Rockets are a 1.5 point favorite tonight. Hard to imagine after losing both to CMU this season.

Buffalo a 4 point favorite against akron.

Tough to beat a team 3 straight times and both were close

A couple football studies show that it happens about 65% of the time. Let's be the actual rare exception.

Eh... The last time we played CMU was out of reach most of the second half. The first time we met, neither team shot well so its hard to even use that one for reference. CMU has the potential to score quicker because of their three point shooters, and our porous D. We are more athletic though, and Juice seemed to be back in his element last game. This could determine POY if UB goes down.

If Juice has another 8 assist, one turnover game, I like our chances.
