Hawks aren’t very big. We may hold a rare height advantage across the board. Great frosh who is probably front runner for FOY. They had two brothers a couple years ago, one was MAC FPY, IIRC. I know the good one transferred, maybe both did-anyone remember their names or know how they did?

Michael weathers and I guess it was just last year? Wow. Seems like a couple years ago-taking transfer year at Oklahoma State.

We have some decent size 6-9, 6-7, 6-7, 6-4, 6-0 and we can bring in 6'11 from the bench. When we have Knapke in, everyone in the line-up is a solid threat from behind the 3-pt line. Jackson really seems to be stepping up and hitting critical threes and sinking pressure free throws. Was not impressed with how he guarded German in the BSU game. I guess that falls on the entire team. The only area of disappointment for me on Tuesday night. They looked cemeted to the floor at certain points of the game.

Yeah, but there aren’t many German/Wilder types. My impression is Miami shoots a fair number of threes and we defend the perimeter pretty well. Statistically we match up very closely. Should be an interesting game but a Rocket win.

the other weathers twin went to duquense with dambrot. miami's new staff had a great 1st recruiting yr. they add 2 solid big wings and a game ready pass first juco pg.

Dambrodt is still coaching at Akron. I know this because Brent Balbinot mentioned it several times on the first Akron pregame show.

I struggle listening to games with balbinot. Basketball is worse than football. Have a hard time following what’s happening and he doesn’t give the score enough and seems to have to be corrected by jay Lehman quite a bit.

Balbinot has a nice voice but he is no......Jerry Keil

Exactly. He goes off track a lot and by the time he gets back two scores happened.

That's better than how I do when I start a game thread and am trying to keep up with every play (which I won't be doing tonight). When I do that I'm making up 75-80% of the plays.

BTW, it’s 16-16 Toledo. We can’t buy a three and getting tons of open looks. One or the other or both will change.

We can’t hit FTs either. 19-18, oops, 22-18 UT

Navi for 3, 27-20, Rockets. And I’m not making that up!

Feel free to jump in here cny!

Come on, my friend. Get it together.

OK. At least for a few minutes.

Ron Harper was just called for a foul.

Oh, wait ...

Sanford scores to make it 29-20 UT

Miami answers to make it 29-22

Knapke scores and it's 31-22 Rockets

Less than a minute to go in the half

Miami misses and UT rebounds

Fletcher scores and it's 33-22 UT

Miami misses and that ends the half. Rockets lead 33-22
