Turner is just fantastic to watch - unless he's playing OUr team and doing that.

The student section has been an embarrassment for a while now. I'd love to see it return to apex of the Ozone days so they can get rid of that ridiculous scorer's table that sits there. I know it runs ads on it ... but I'd rather have the students right up against the court, especially if they are rowdy and into the game. • The comments on Preston's lull these last four games is spot on. He has been a shell of what he looked like early in the season. Not sure if it's illness or what? My theory coincides with my next point ... • I think this team is already hitting a wall in terms of how much gas they have in the tank. Boals had such a short bench to work with early, that guys were pulling in big minutes. I think they're wearing down. I think that is why you see these games that are relatively close down the stretch only to turn into 8-10 point losses. I think they're running out of gas down the stretch. Preston just looks tired. Maybe it's illness? Or maybe playing 35+ hard minutes a night is catching up to him. A lot of these young and/or inexperienced guys have never had to play this many minutes ... not to mention a lot of them are still getting their legs back after long injuries (Murrell, Brown, Roderick) so they're not quite in playing shape. This was one of my biggest concerns going into the MAC season and the reason I wasn't sold they could go more than 6-12 or 7-11 in the league. Still a lot of hoops left ... and UB is another challenge as they head into a stretch of at EMU, Toledo, Akron, at NIU, at Ball. That could easily turn into an 0-6 stretch. Would not stun me in the least.

He didn't give any details. Maybe he's been battling a low-grade flu or something. So, your comments seem spot on.

He knew it was his night after banking in a 3 from the top of key late in the first half, then running down the court with out-stretched arms. BG had an ESPN top 10-worthy ally-oop dunk by Plowden. However, I was equally impressed with BVP's 2nd-half dunk on a baseline drive because his was contested by a BG big. They were both great dunks. BVP with only one dribble beat his man from the arc and went two hands over their 6'11'' guy. That dunk by BG was sick! Loved the lob back towards him coming down the lane and he threw it down. Damn nice dunk!

It just seemed like the timing was perfect for them to light it up and that's exactly what they did in the second half. There was a combination of us losing track of one man on D and them were chucking up 3s with hands in face in half 2 and seemed to hit them all after missing a bunch in half 1. We have our own problems. We're not going to win the MAC regular season and we may well be headed for last in the East (just as the experts predicted) but we have no choice but to get healthy and get better and see what happens in March.

A younger Ohio team did and the veteran, league favorite didn't. That was simply a matter of the tougher team making the winning plays. I think a double-double threat is the missing piece for this group. I don't thinl that player exists on this roster this year, but maybe someone grows into that for next year or maybe it will be a newcomer. It would have been nice to have someone to gobble up some of those offensive rebounds BG pulled away late. Credit to the two students who stood in the front row. They withstood some other student throwing sandals at them trying to get them to sit. Thank you for the appreciation. It was upsetting that we were given numerous F-Bombs and even had a parent come up to us and call us jerks for doing all we can to keep any bit of DLo and the Ozone inside the Convo. We’re not sitting down anytime soon and we won’t stop cheering either! Go Cats! Sorry you have to deal with that BS, everyone in student section should be standing, hold your ground! I don't get the whole standing thing. If you are the only guy in section standing, sit down. Stand for great plays and when the energy is high in the arena but not like that old guy or the guy with the virginity shirt the other night. They looked like fools.

Very happy to hear your determination, Bobcat2019. Hopefully you have some friends that are willing to be pulled in. All it takes is a small tribe of 4-5 passionate fans to move the others to action.
