I think EMU shooting 4-27 in the second half had a little to do with it. I thinks the Cards had a lot to do with their poor second half shooting! Yeah our smothering defense that totaled one steal in that half. Dude......Really

I thought we were pretty scrappy trying to rebound tonight. A lot of second chance rebounds that went EMU’s way last week didn’t go their way tonight. Did they have any dunks at all?

MAC Tourney comment off the Kent Blog the distance between 1 & 2 seeds & the distance between 11 & 12 seeds, are both greater than the distance between 2 & 11. Quite a comment hope we can prove it's true. That is a good comment, although maybe not literally true. It depends on what you think of Toledo. I've been surprised all year how high Toledo is in the KenPom rankings. Although the win does not really surprise me, I was wrong in that I thought a win over would require some of BSU's cold three point shooters to get at least a little hot. That did not happen. I'm tempted to say this was just the implosion of a poorly coached, bad team with an immature star player. But it's a dick move to always claim a team's wins are the result of opponent implosions and never give them any credit. The name "Jimmy One Win" is now officially retired. I'm sure, however, that the Eastern board(s) are in full meltdown, with plenty of lamentations about Thompson and the waste of talent he turned out to be. I would go check out their board for amusement, but I see plenty of meltdown and lamentations around here, not excepting my own posts.

It certainly helped that EMU had BSUish shot selections tonight as well. We might not be the defensive juggernaut, but holding them to like 4 points through the first 10 minutes of the second half was huge for us....regardless of the true reasoning for their poor shooting.

Why is a O’Gara calling this win the “upset of the MAC tournament.” We were THAT bad? Thought we were a great team other than the record.

EMU board looking for donations to raise the $300,000 to get rid of Murphy. That seems to be a major problem for MAC programs how to afford to pay off the coach so you can fire him.

Nice job Cards. Winning when 99.9 said not possible, including me.
Enjoy it. I know that’s not the norm here. Hopefully can move on.

Cardfan correct, BGSU beat us by 1 on their court!
Really not sure what that means as normally you’d expect to play better against the same team at home although we were an absolute bust at home all year.
I do think we match up well and we should play loose!
I’d say we are definitely dangerous for a # 2 seed!
Could this team still march to the Final game?!

While I am not optimistic about the future.. I am not going to just doo doo on this one. Im just going to take a win and hope for another. It changes nothing for me nor will a win against BG but its a tourney win and at least for tonight I am enjoying it

I totally agree with Rob, but at least take a road win as a good win if for no other reason than supporting our kids!
I wouldn’t be surprised either way against BGSU but even if we win a few will still paint it as negative!
We beat BGSU and we might very well make it to the final though

The main thing is are the guys excited to play on? Are the shackles of the disappointing season off now after that dominating second half? Are they loose and ready to roll? Are they together now? If the answer is yes then they can get a run going. Bg won’t be playing at home now. We can get them. But it’s going to take Moses and Teague negating the big Bg kid who kills us. And it’s going to take Persons finding g his mojo again. (No turnovers and steady play last night was a good start).
If we are aggressive and have energy and hit our FTs we can beat BG. One step at a time. No talk of anything else.

Full of ourselves after beating a bottom feeder in the MAC...My my my how far have we fallen Eastern was a six seed and 9-9 in the conference, hard to say they were the bottom feeder. They were picked to won the west and us second. This team needs to play up to its potential the remainder of the way, haven’t don’t much of this lately, but it is not to late.

That sly Whitford, secretly working on a super dooper game plan for EMU while we were all watching the last few conference games and thinking he was inept.
Go Cards in Cleveland!
