Can I erase my last dozen posts. Never suspected this!!!

Taking the under was a good decision. Both of them are at least sitting on the bench. I don't see a bucket near them.

Emoni and Noah seem to be feeling better.

Our non-existent help defense in the post is rearing its ugly head again. Layup line for BGSU.

This game is a slog (is that a word?). Neither team showing a lot.

A grind. half court grind.

My PC has been buffering all night. I thought it was EMU 28, BG 27 and I looked at ESPN and it said BG 33 EMU 28.

I think that’s like 4 offensive fouls in a row.

Why so many BG lay-ups?

Ladies and gentlemen:

The game, according to Vegas, is tied (with BG -4) and the under looks like an easy winner...

At the half, looking like WMU and esp. CMU going down.

Doesn't effect us, but BSU is really bouncing back vs. Akron.

Not watching game. EMU held BG to 35-points but trails by 4-points even though BG made only 2-three's. and 1-foul sho. to see EMU doing that in the second-half. EMU gave up a ton of lay-ups as it's not guarding the rim. EMU has scored but a few lay-ups.

Emu scoried but 31-points. Didn't take enough advantage of BG's early mistakes. EMU needs someone to get hot in the second half and once again play good defense.

How many fast break points in the game? Not many.

Lovejoy is the best player on the court for us tonight.

Edit: then he gets two quick turnovers. I’m gonna shut up now.

Wrong game for Acuff to be ice cold.

Need Acuff to start hitting shots.

I think EMU left it all on the court SATURDAY. Team looks flat, slow, etc.

EMU got killed in the paint. Got to play five defenders stopping the offense from scoring. Our defense is the worst mid major D which is why we have a lousy record.

BG won 88-60, a 28 point scoring margin. BG scored 53 points in the second half. When the two teams previously played, BG shot 58 percent on two's. Tonight an incredible 77 percent (34-43). EMU had hardly any stops in the second half.

EMU's s defense was not aggressive as EMU had but 2-steals.

25 YEARS and counting! 1998! Incredibly disappointing season! 8-9 wins just simply isn't acceptable! Getting blown out by 18 once again!

Huge game and the team is not prepared. That's on the coaches.

I am eating crow tonight. We laid a big egg.

Shame CMU is getting killed. WMU is losing.

Looks like Miami will be in the driver's seat for #8.
