Ugly Ugly Ugly game.. But a win is a win and we got it. That's about all that can be said about that. Whole game was a rock fight and Akron was definitely the aggressor on defense. I guess the much-maligned positive takeaway is we didn't fold after a lousy half. BSU definitely stole one. That said, there has GOT to be something done about the quality of officiating in this league. Wildly inconsistent and atrocious calls on both ends. I counted three travels on what was nearly the winning play for Akron; we came back after Tayler got his pocket picked and got a stop on the final play. Letting them play is one thing, but letting a coach intimidate the refs to favor his style of play is a danger. As you say maybe we overcame bad play. Maybe won by toughness? Trey played agressively to get a tip in, and we were playing hard on both ends. Not pretty. Credit Akron for their D, it produces ugly games, that was part of it. We did not fold to our credit.

We found a way to win despite not playing well. We absolutely need to play better to have any hope of truly doing anything, but in the meantime I’ll take the W. But, it’d be fine with me if we’d start playing better while still winning.

Miami can suck an egg with that kind of thinking. Maybe try drawing more than 2K to that funeral home they play in and not buying their way into a tournament. It should be said they've fallen farther and more swiftly than we have. Ouch. That said, they do have Whit's number. Re: your comment on officiating: damn straight! What the hell is going on? Apparently charges and traveling are no longer a thing? Was not going to even bring it up but it was so bad on both ends. Ill give credit to Whit this time he was on them the entire game. Akrons coach was a just as confused about what they were calling. Fans had no idea, Multiple missed and blown calls everywhere. Same crew that needed a police escort out after the Kent game.

It seems as though there are just "X" number of MAC officials for men's and women's basketball, both, and I wonder just how often teams end-up seeing the same officials over the course of the year. There is no way we should have seen that same crew that quickly, especially with all the animosity that brewed at the previous game they worked.
