With Abreu in trouble i'm liking Ohio's chances. I'm hoping the Bobcats will finally turn on the afterburners after a lackluster performance against quality competition this season and make another run in the Big Dance like last season.

Wishful thinking?

Hell, Miami has a decent shot at winning tonight, and even an outside shot tomorrow. They may have won 3 MAC games, but they play the East twice in season, and play West schools this week. Since the West is pretty much glorified D2 except for Toledo and WMU sometimes, they have a chance.

Second round in the books, epic battle of directional Michigan's tomorrow night should be just dreadful.

Buffalo and Kent should be good, both came on at the end of the year.

I feel good about Ohio in the finals. Since they're going against a West team in the semis, they should be in good shape!

Zeke just got posterized by Evans. Akron up 3 at the half. Have been played 6'7" SF Nick Harney at the point most of the time. I think that is their best option.

Well one of those blocks was a no-call goaltend, so we'll say he's owed one more :thumbup:

Haha. Fair enough. Still a great game by him.

To have a chance to beat OU tomorrow. Harney needs to start at PG. Betancourt needs to have ~10 minutes.


Oh yeah, and we need to make at least 50% of our FTs smh.


Still holding out hope WMU upsets OU :D

OU only beat WMU by 2 in Kalamazoo, and WMU is playing better than they were then (so is OU)

I don't think Christian is a very good coach. Seems like OU hired him knowing that he would be there as long as they would keep him. Looks like they are going to win this one, but they lost quite a few games they shouldn't have this year. This is the same exact team who had a deep run in the NCAA tourney last year
