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. Really, I don't remember a single post predicting an EMU blowout.

I think we all thought it was possible we could win, we just weren’t sure we’d actually do it. But I wouldn’t say 99.9% said it was not possible. Sherm basically predicted we would win. Most of us figured it would be very BSU to win just to get to Cleveland and lay an egg.

Don't look now, but after starting out 11-2, BG lost 4 of their last 5....including some real embarrassments. Did they lose players?

We can definitely beat bg if we play like we’re capable.

EMU 9-9 in the MAC. A basketball dynasty to be sure. The nation is abuzz with our victory. I stand corrected. Let's give Whit a lifetime extension. and as my ol' friend Earl would say ,''BLAH BLAH BLAH.'' Sorry guys I ain't buyin'it.

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. Well we were picked to be second so Im not sure how much water this argument will hold

Not a blowout, but the feelings were we were done after the way we finished. I didn’t think they would play well enough to win. So now you have 2 teams that finished very poorly that were supposed to be good teams. Will be interesting to see who shows up.

I'm not going to read too much into that game, but it was nice to see the 2nd half go the way it did. Some here are mocking the defensive effort and stating the EMU was the sole cause of their 2nd half woes, but a hidden stat that doesn't show up in the box score but really tells something is the 4 touches that JT4 was limited to in the 2nd half, and the very aggressive double and triple teams he was getting on any touches the entire game . Trey in particular was doing some work down there. He and JT4 were being very physical, and for those that said that Trey need to put big boy pants on or JT4 was going to run him out of the gym... well... I think he did.

The biggest disparities, statistically, between us and BG are turnovers & 3 pt FG%. We have way more TO's and they shoot much better and made almost twice as many three's as us but frankly from here on out that will be true of everyone we play.
I'm happy for Trey & Tayler that they get to go to Cleveland after such a downer of a senior season. Hope they can keep it going.

I hope a great weight is lifted and the guys just play basketball now and take care of some business. Hazen and Ish both need to be really big off the bench.

I would hope we play subs more against BG in order to keep players fresh. It will make a big difference if we play 3 games there. I want him to play 10 people against BG & anyone else we play. BG while 20-11 is 14-2 @ home but only 6-9 away from home. We have a better away record than they do @ 9-9.Definitely a winnable game & BG finished poorly last road win Feb 16 @ NIU.

Whitford has been going with the Sheriff Andy Taylor strategy.

To Sherm really looked at BG & our 1st game Plowden had the game of his career with 19 pts only time he has ever topped 11. He hit 3 threes for season has 16. He hit 8 of 10 foul shots only game he shot more than 4 & season pct was 55%. Their free throw shooting won the game for them & killed us on boards 1st half but we out rebounded them in 2nd. They did not lose any players & play 10 guys a game. Turnovers 1st meeting were almost same they had 1 less.They are 20-11 but only outscored opponents by 35 more pts than us yet we are 16-16. Whit's right we were that close to being good. Hopefully we show effort in Cleveland as BG is very beatable. Recent drop off is hitting 3s most recent games under 30% they hit 40% against us.
