Mercyhurst was a good choice for an exhibition opponent. They are a legit team with a decent talent level (e.g., a few Div. I transfers who can play) and they are very well coached by Manchel and staff. They exposed some things Ohio needs to work on...especially toughness inside. That's what you want out of an exhib. opponent. I'd rather be troubled by some things we see in a game like this than have the laughers Kentucky had.

Hey, until one of your pumped up opponents actually comes in and beats us, don't be puffing your chest out like that. Last night really just extended the streak of you over-estimating our non-D1 opponents to about 158.

The kentucky score on radio was 90-22 with like a lot of time left. That is just plain wrong. Bobcats atleast got a game from Mercyhurst and that is what our team needs. We need to learn how to close out games. Groce got the team to turn up the D late and the team responded. Players got a good workout for a full game.

Mercyhurst would blow out Morehouse.

The Jeff McKinney of the UK board would disagree and would not like you talking trash about Morehouse. They're a good ball club.

I think you're underestimating Morehouse. Sure they struggled a little versus Kentucky, but they finished in the upper half of their division a couple years ago. Their point guard is shooting better than 10% from behind the arc, their center reportedly jumped and touched the rim in practice, and the coach is well known as a guy who teaches his players to shoot, rebound, AND pass. Underestimate them at your own risk.
