Bigger setback? Ohio football losing at Ball St. this season or a potential loss by the basketball Bobcats at 4-13 Ball St.? Or would a loss Friday night in Muncie be equally depressing as to the football team losing to the 4-8 Cardinals?

That loss cost us the MAC Championship, so no. I won’t lose sleep over a January basketball loss. Unless greenlight Sheldon goes 2-8 again.

Life on the road in the MAC. Speaking of which, UMass travels to Dekalb Saturday to play 5-11 NIU. That would be a funny one

I've seen crazier things happen.

I would expect us to get back on the winning track in this game.

I've got no info. on Elijah Elliot's injury (I believe leg from the Eastern game) but he's our best on-ball defender. He was moving ok out of uniform around the bench area Tuesday night at Toledo. His return certainly will help the defense.

I hope he get better soon, however, I disagree that he's our best on-ball defender. I'm on the opposite end here, I think he's one of our bad on-ball defenders, after the Toledo game you could argue all of our guards are bad defenders and I wouldn't disagree.

I'm worried. Of course, I've been worried every time this year's 'Cats have taken the floor, except the OWU and Miami-Hamilton games.

Seems lower than I would've thought, wouldn't be surprised if this gets up to 5.5 before tip.
