Wonder if that is close to a record. No mention whether it is or isn't in the write-up I saw. Both teams combined to go 53-57 (93%).

I saw on Twitter it was at least the MAC record for FTs made without a miss.

I like the fact that ours was over in 1:45 or less.

But as was mentioned elsewhere, this is a MAC record. Follow Ohio Football recruiting on the BobcatAttack.com football recruiting database.

Didn't see that one coming. I was surprised by how badly Buffalo lost. I heard a bit of that game on the radio. It seemed liked Toledo couldn't miss early. Buffalo's starters combined to shoot 8-39, including 0-14 on 3s. No starters scored in double figures.

They played decent schedule and majority of their losses were really close. Jonathan Williams might be best scorer in the league along with that CMU kid. 7 straight 20-point games. I think they're sleeper in this league.

I remember a game -- years ago -- against KSU in which OHIO set a MAC record with something close to 30 made free throws. I don't believe we missed any, either. This was back in the Snyder Era -- probably late '60s or early '70s.

I'm about to drop some math on you... Kent was shooting 71.3% from the line going into the game. Which of course means they have about a 7 in 10 chance of making just 1 single throw. The odds of them making 2 in a row is a mere 50%. The odds of them making 10 in a row is just 3%. The odds of them making 31 in a row... .0028% or 1 in 36,000. Also interesting to note that the last free throw they missed was...the last free throw of their previous game. Now watch them miss the very first free throw in their next game Friday night (in the Convo). The odds of making 31 free throws in a row, and all 31 of them being in the same game and the misses on each end of the streak being in different games... .00023% or about 1 in 430,000.

These stats do not, and cannot, take into account the variability in human motivation. If no one on your team has missed, you don't want to be the first, so you concentrate much harder -- each successive free-throw becomes like one you'd hit to win an NCAA tournament game. Thus probability statistics based on past team performance while instructive are not definitive. Bobcat Squared: Yes, I was there in 1866, before basketball was invented and before I was born, to witness the first OHIO basketball game against Marietta College. I was in-charge of taking the ball out of the peach basket after each goal. OHIO won 7-5.
