Heard Cooper went down with an injury tonight. Anybody know how bad it is?
Wrist, all indications are he's fine.

East swept yet again this weekend, making the crossover tally 21-3 in favor of the East this year. 12 crossovers left (6 Wednesday, and 6 Saturday)

Kent won again tonight. I'm looking forward to watching them play Saturday morning on ESPNU.

Nice program win for Toledo last night over OU, 77-73, after being down 15-0 early on. UT is now 11-13 and OU 19-5.

The MAC is definitely going to be a one-bid conference this year. I just wonder who will get hot in the tournament.

Embarrassing loss to Toledo. Can't lose games to any team on that level...

Rough loss last night..

Not that there was any consideration for an at-large, but if there were, that just crushed it. Gotta win the MAC tourney now.

When is the last time the MAC has had multi-bids?? I'd guess about 10 years. Not something you would usually expect.

Yeah, losing to teams with an RPI of infinity will do that every time.

Let's face it, the MAC isn't very good this year. Akron is probably the best team, but the only name team they beat was Mississippi State. Kent won at WVU and both Buffalo and Miami beat Dayton. Other than that, nobody beat anybody. I just hope we do better in the BracketBuster games.

Akron actually has the best win out of the Ohio schools not named Ohio State. RPI of 50 (better than Murray State) and they are still wouldnt be an at-large.

That was a crazy game to be sure. Not often one team comes down from 15, blows a 12 point lead then hangs on to win. Although if we would have lost because Reese traveled that might have topped losing because we hit the scoreboard on the inbounds pass.

Kent just won its sixth straight game. True, their victory was over Ball State, but a win is a win.

Ohio appears to still be suffering from the Toledo hangover, going 10+ minutes to open the game scoring ZERO points against EMU.

Currently EMU is leading 33-22 with 13 minutes left in the game.
