While we are, for all intents and purposes, out of the running for a top 4 seed, today’s game is huge. Win and we have a chance at a 5 seed and our chances of facing RMU in the first round as an 8 seed is all but gone. Lose, and we are more likely than not falling to the 8 seed in the tournament, with Cleveland State’s weak remaining schedule and PFW snagging the tiebreaker from us (barring Wright State surpassing both Green Bay and YSU in the standings). I’d like that first round bye, but if we can’t get it, I’d much rather face IUPUI or Mercy in the first round over Robert Morris (along with a potential second round matchup against someone other than Oakland). Whoa! This is stuff that you don't find anywhere else! Haha well I am cool being the resident nerd

Once again, such a heavy reliance on the 3-point shot leads to a boom-or-bust offense. Pray that we can stay hot and hit 15.

Have to start attacking the rim more. Way too many 3 point attempts

Langston is killing us. Not sure why BL pulled Fields so quick. He was pissed after Fields let a shooter wide open in his area of the zone.

Langston is killing us. Not sure why BL pulled Fields so quick. He missed an alley oop. I don’t think he’s killing us. FF is the better player, but can’t be out there all the time. I like Learic and Franklin on the floor at the same time. That’s going to give us defense and hustle.

These guys are making it real tough to keep being optimistic.

It’s night and day difference on the bench. Our bench just sitting there and PFW going crazy the whole game.

Down5 at the under 12 TO. Too many jacks, not enough getting to the rim.

I don't know if the philosophy is sound or not, but we must accept at this point that Bart wants his teams to take 35 or more 3s.

So Purdue Fort Wayne’s Morton-Roninson (who’s “5,8”) already has 4 rebounds. Gotta box out better.

Oh man, if Fields could have corralled that BJ pass it would have been a thing of beauty. Instead 5 point swing. I like the hustle the team is showing. Matching the intensity of PFW

BJ is playing a hell of a game so far.
