There is no way we shouldn’t get an invite to cit or cbi if needed. There were plenty of teams with losing records from lesser conferences in these tourneys.

Keep in mind though the CBI is a pay to get in tournament.

Many teams do decline these invites—-we should take any opportunity that comes up.

We should decline the invite. If we don't have the funds to support cheerleading, there's no need to waste money on this tournament.

Move the Rhode Island game to Citibank Field, take the cash from that, and take the CBI

That’s like turning down a bowl game if the basketball team can play in a postseason tourney they will.

Agreed. If Athletics opens their purse and pays to play in a tournament, will the cheerleaders be expected to pay their own money to attend and cheer the Huskies?

NIU is going broke and the AD wants to spend money on one extra game. Please give me a reason? Nuts.

This loss is on Montgomery. $400K vs. hardest working guy on the team!!
FO! Fire that SOB. A good high school coach could do better.

Toledo ain't gonna be cake walk. They got 4 guys 6'10" or taller!
Yeah, we may back into a bye. Even with 3 straight loses.
If you can't beat the worst teams in the MAC why bother with a trip to Cleveland?

The violation of team rules is Montgomery's fault? I am confused on that. You think the rules are too strict or unyielding? I can't blame Montgomery for enforcing a team rule

I get the point about not being able to beat the worst teams so why the tournament, but BGSU, the likely 1 or 2 seed just got absolutely man handled by co-worst team in conference Miami-OH

Speaking for myself , I support discipline and assume MM had reason for German first half on the bench.

I heartily agree with Duderino on MM not being good at his job.

That might be true of a long haul, but if its based on solely this season, Id give Montgomery Coach of the Year in the MAC in a not even close race. He is taking the 7th, 8th, or 9th best team in the MAC to a likely 3 or 4 seed position. If you are grading on this season alone, he deserves a SOLID A

I’m all for them going to a post season game, but it’s not apples to apples with a bowl game to bball post season game. Football basically funds part of athletics now with the pay games. Don’t think that b-ball gets that type of cash.

THIS season is about having the MAC POY / NIU all time leading scorer in his SENIOR year.

An A for the recruitment of German, but MM hasn’t “coached” any better than previous years.

I totally disagree with that. Montgomery has utilized players in optimal situations this year. He just has a much better feel for the game and an ability to adjust to specific opponents on whats needed different nights. Take that point 7 made also about that end of EMU game where Montgomery spread out the EMU defense to get Hankerson an open shot to get NIU back into the game. That was all coaching. You can hate the basketball program and hate Montgomery, but you cannot say Coach Montgomery is not having one hell of a season this year. He has been the difference for NIU, along with German. His long term grade is probably a C- or a D+, his short term grade this year is an A. He deserves Coach of the Year honors

I agree MD--much better job this year and seems to have a "little" more control...or just realizes Geno is leaving.

I'm mean we are two days past and a loss more in the column and I see no outrage or real questioning of German being benched for an entire half in a critical game.

Maybe I missed it---but was it a team mandated suspension? Conference mandated?

The fact that the masses aren't stringing either them up is a pretty good barometer that things have stabilized this year.

Please. I don’t hate MM. Not even close.
Ricardo? Guilty.
Yes, I’m aware of the EMU play he called. Well done.

Sadly, where was the coaching as we blew the lead at CMU or last week vs a depleted Miami-O team.

We agree to disagree.

I'm not sure of the mins distribution but Miami just pummeled BG, wasnt as bad of a loss as thought. Heck NIU was only favored by a few points I think

Miami had there two best players back against BGSU. Nike Sobanski has a big game against BGSU.
