Go Rockets!

Thanks east.

Let's have a little fun before this great season is done. Let's not forget what they have accomplished this year.

Win this one for the seniors - JT and Seth. Great guys, great ballplayers, and thank you for all you have given us.

CMU beat them, EMU should have. I like your chances.

Hope you're right. I can't see enough of this team. I'm ready to cuss out the refs.

Keys to the game according to Jay - move the ball. Agree. and I would run the snot out of Dickerson. Wear his butt out.

Edu needs to learn there's no business vacating the space between the shooter and the basket, regardless you might on the ball fake. He gave UM a free step to the basket.

Maddox and Milner having very uncharacteristic shooting nights. Everyone else looks on game.

Now everyone's shooting has gone into the crapper. They're getting or making open shots, just not landing them. Crqzy.

Now that I found my way home (giggle). They missed 12-13 shots over 4 minutes - and most were not bad shots. Still up at the half.

Michigan's figured out we overplay the ball. It's the Kent game all over again. Open shots in the paint. Open shots on the perimeter. But the rest of the floor where there are no shooters is well guarded. Edu isn't over his head physically. He just hasn't had enough court time to learn the game. If our shooters get going, we'll be in this.

As usual, an opponent shooting 250% from 3 against us. Even the contested ones go through without touching rim.

Williams is really UM's only good on-ball defender and Milner gets the priviledge. Williams made an excellent defense early in the game on the step back. He presumed it and moved with the shooter, getting the block. A shooter has to mix it up against him, get Williams to jump into him as he moves to defend the step back.

Ray J missed a bunny

This is looking like the Richmond NIT game all over again, unfortunately.

Dennis is not sharp shooting the ball tonight.

Nobody is playing defense.

Interesting to hear the PA voice in the background. Bellino is both the PA for Toledo and Michigan.

It was JT who held us back offensively in the MAC title game, tonight it's even more surprisingly RayJ. He seemingly can't buy a bucket tonight.

We're trying to play ground this instead of pass the ball into set shots. This is on Dennis mostly.

JT didn't hold us back in that game. He was placed into a mismatch instead of using his advantage on the perimeter. K held us back. Today's he's been able to play on the perimter. Edu has made that last two buckets in the post. This is how a team should play. A true post in the post and a wing on the wing.

That’s how we were the prior two games. Assists way down.
