This is our 2nd toughest remaining away contest. Favored by 15 in Kenpom and 8.5 in Vegas.

They will run it thru their big man for sure.

Muncie has always been a tough place for the Rockets football/basketball !!
I might have done the trip but a late game start sort of changed my mind... EMU, earlier in the week, was a much more doable drive on a winter night ...

I started one at the same time - sorry! Don't know how to delete?

I think we play well tonight. Team knows Ohio is next and that they got a little sloppy vs EMU and need to be ready. Plus, 2 and a half days in Muncie to prep. I'd think they will be focused. BSU is one of the few lower half of the MAC teams that can beat someone good on the right night, but their guard play is mediocre and ours is not.

Any chance we see Edu tonight on a limited basis ??
I think as tough as BSU will be with a legit big man, it would present K with an opportunity to se how Edu sizes up against a formidable center ...
This will be a tough game to come out with a W... Everyone needs to bring their A game as opponents of the Rockets have been bringing up to this point, with the exception of Kent !!

I wondered that too. We might have a bad mismatch with Sparks, but I still think we win this game if we play "our game." If we see AJ, good, all the better. Our guard play should keep us in most games. Take care of the ball, make a few plays.

It took me 5 minutes because I was looking up stats, so I'll bet we were within a minute clicking the new thread button. Doesn't matter, as long as we have a game thread - because - we are all pumped!

Go Rockets!

Very tough game, let Sparks get his average in scoring and rebounds, shut everybody else down, and UT comes out with a tight victory on the road. It will be a raucous crowd, to say the least.

KwinnyPeecock and St dingdong is going long... Howd this get the Friday 7pm ESPNU slot?

Get this high school game off my TV. Let's get to Muncie!

It's on ESPNews, or on-line.

My bold predictions - Shumate goes 10 - 10 from beyond the arc. Raheim Moss with a triple double. Rockets win 100 - 83

If you have an ESPN subscription, you can find the game there.

Now live

They're hot early from three, they may cool down, but we must defend better.

Rockets do not look good.

This game is over. Toledo terrible on the offensive end. Defense giving up all kinds of open looks. Looks like they didn’t do much practicing in Muncie the past couple days.

This is absurd. Toledo can’t make a layup. They could chuck one up underhanded and it would go in.

9 3-pointers for Ball St. already! Nine!! WTH!
