We’re getting TORCHED.

Mighty Broncos 11
Chippewas 29

11:20 left in the first half

Vast majority of teams are a lot better than us in basketball.

Homework assignment…In the past 20 years, how many times have we lost both games in the season to CMU? I’d say it’s 2 or less. Sad, sad state of affairs…..

Halftime
WMU 21
CMU 40

Not sure if we can pull this off.

Chips have some shooters, us not so much. Sizable talent difference is obvious.

JB has 0 points

CMU -5.5 was too easy

Hubbard and Hannah…a combined 2-24 from the field. Ooofff!

Did my own homework assignment. Prior to this season, over the past 20 seasons, we’ve been swept by the Chips in just 2 seasons (2018 - 2019 and 2019 - 2020). Over that same timeframe, we’ve swept them 8 times. Overall record is 27 - 15 over those years (includes 2 MAC Tournament games). Sad state of affairs…with little optimism for the remainder of the season. CMU is solid this year but 2 blowout losses is tough to stomach for this fan! Wish I was more optimistic about the future.

Sure am glad I contributed to last summer’s European trip. Really paying big dividends!

Too many injuries and not enough talent to be competitive.

Well, the formula is almost always the same.

Our bricklayers can't hit the broadside of a barn while the opposition starts out hot. We get down by dbl digits. Then, the other team cools off some but has a huge cushion.

Our guys shot 21% in each half. The most frustrating thing to watch is that we had many open looks, uncontested shots that wouldn't fall.

Simple, they aren’t division I basketball players. Coach might be able to “hide” one or two but not a whole team.

I still want to get one more shot at them, in the tournament.

Are you a glutton for punishment? I don’t like the looks of 0-3. Let’s lose to someone else.
