Is this for real? WEstern leads the entire second half, ahead by 10 with less than 3 minutes to go...Gives up 3 3 pointers off of turnovers and gives Akron an easy 2 point shot with 5 seconds to go. Final...Akron wins by 1. Western Michigan chokes again.

I mean basketball is an outlier at the moment….

Tough loss tonight. We shot extremely well but TO, missed rebounds down the stretch beat us. Have no idea how we can keep our chins up... Really too bad.

Eh, not much of a surprise.

When a team loses as much as this one has over the past few years, getting a decent win like this one is like finding the Holy Grail. A ton of pressure. Probably just froze up in those final minutes and Akron went to work.

We just aren't a good team right now. That's the reality.

Kathy punted basketball when she hired Bates.

My minimum expectation for all of our programs is to not be embarassing. Our basketball program is an embarassment. I'm sure they are good kids who are trying hard, but its an awful product. Losing to SVSU, the incoherence of the rebrand gear with the court, the absence of any kind of atmosphere in the arena... These are dark days.

This!

I have been a fan for 14 years, never seen the program in such a bad spot like this. Very frustrating

Today might've been the first time in a long while that a game came and went (another double-digit loss) and not one post about it. Even the tussles against Hope and Aquinas had threads.

I've decided that it is easier on my old bod and my blood pressure not to even think about Bronco hoops this year. I haven't watched or followed the last 4 or 5 games at all. Sad it has come to this.
