The closer we get to the game the more I love our chances. Call it blind optimism if you want, but I think if nothing else we will have a good time!

I know what you are talking about. I feel like EMU can win by 20, or UM can win by 20, or it can be a tight game all the way through. I think it’s an even matchup and going to depend on whose shots are falling.

Of course, I am worried about Dickinson dominating (not so much the freshman Reed who got 1 point against Purdue-FortWayne), but as Miggy suggests: If Dickinson gets a bunch of 2s it doesn’t matter if Noah/Acuff/Emoni counter with a bunch of 3s.

So I am more worried about Llewellyn/Howard/Baker dropping lots of 3s themselves. And where Dickinson is of most value is facilitating these guys get 3s. The games I watched, Dickinson is a good passer- not sure if he is known for that or not. Which is why I like having Geeter at center, he is a good passer. But he has 2 less years of experience than Dickinson and 5 less inches.

Nonetheless, I agree with you whoever’s 3s fall is going to win this game.
