Approximately 2pm to 2:30pm Thursday on ESPN+

Do not have much new stats but it could make a difference in a three
games in three days tournament. The two teams with the deepest rosters are NIU and Miami. Shouldn't make a difference Thursday but it should help the winner Friday and Saturday. It may partially explain why we lost with two of the Miami starters out.

This list is the minutes of the first five/and minutes of second five:

Akron 4559-1573
BGSU 4239-2082 *three starters missed eleven games
BSU 4365-1664
Toledo 5112-1246
KSU 4532-1747
Ohio 4960-1952
Miami 3727-2409
NIU 4276-2277

Even though a few teams played 32 games as opposed to 31 games you can see especially the minutes of the second five show more depth. Of course the bottom line is who shoots the best. That's all I got.

GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting stats. This could make a difference as the tournament rolls on. I noticed that Toledo has had a short bench due to injuries this year and they along with Kent also had to play an extra game on Monday. They have been playing well in closing the season but may fade down the stretch. It will be worth watching Kent and Akron too. Both go about 7 deep as do many teams at the end of the year, but the quality of the bench is questionable.
Thanks for bringing an actual basketball post back to the board.

I know others mentioned this, but would not surprise me either if Ohio stunned Akron. Ohio is trending straight up

Huskies open as 2.5 favorites, the only line that surprises me is Toledo -1.5 vs BGSU. Hard to imagine Toledo being favored

It would surprise me if you didn't.

I will take $100 of that.
