Any win on the road is a good win. Glad we took advantage of the huge size advantage we had. How could you not look to Trey on almost every possession? Nice to see us take advantage of a major mismatch though Person’s needs a foot in his ass more than a few times tonight. Regardless, it is a win we had to have. Love to see us win 4 more to go into the tournament on a roll but will gladly take 3. Persons is an enigma. As important as he is to us, and as many times he’s won us a game, he is also dangerous to his own team. Still glad we have him but man his Oh, no doubt about that. He is the edge we lack at other positions. Still pretty sure we can’t beat buffalo but maybe someone else will knock them off and we play someone else in the finals. We can dream!!

I think Persons has A.D.D.
Is Ridelin (sp?)a NCAA infraction?

Gotta love that we are beating teams we should. Would love to sweep Toledo on Saturday. If we can’t draw a big crowd then when can we? This team deserves a good crowd after the win tonight. Now would be a great time for Whitford and some of the players to storm the dorms over the next three days passing out donuts in the a.m. and pizzas at night. If Mearns went with them the students would go bananas. Just sayin it would put another 500 kids in the Nest at least.

I agree Cardfan but I still want him taking the game winner! Teague is sure not looking like a Sophomore and Moses is just likely to at least be ALL MAC second team...if so, pretty good for a soft center?

Yep Kid, Persons has the flair for the dramatic at the buzzer. No doubt about it. Just wish he’d tone down the drama when we just need solid play.

I’ll take Persons on my team any day. He’s got grit which can will a team to a win. I just think that when we get down a few points or start losing a big lead, he tries to make a big play to instantly put us back up and shift the momentum in our favor instantly. That situation has led to poor shot selection and bad passes. When he’s composed he can be an All-MAC performer.

Uh, Persons gave us 18 points tonight and to read this board, was keeping us in the game before our bigs got going. Yeah, he plays out of control at times, but has put this team on his back quite a bit too. Does he do/say dumb things at times? Yes, like any 21(?) year old kid. He's the classic love-him-on-your-team, hate-him-on-opponents, and that's his edge. I shake my head at us fans sometimes.

I shake my head when reading this board so many times people probably think I have a nervous tick.

“When he’s composed”. Exactly. I already said I’m glad we have him, we need him, all that stuff. But he needs to STAY composed. And quit turning it over. If he’s going to have the ball all the time he’s gotta take care of it. And he’s got to understand what’s edge and grit and what’s stupid and bad for the team if we want to get to the next level. He’s gotta he our rock 100% of that time not 75.

To error is human. This team is pretty f-ing good quit looking for negative this team has been a solid winner.

Eff it. The point guard can have more turnovers than assists and can force things whenever he wants and make dumb selfish plays. Maybe even get a tech from time to time. I mean that’s just really good basketball that’s gonna take us to a championship right? No sense always trying to get better and cut down on that stuff. Cuz who cares! That’s just people being negative pointing that stuff out. If it bites us in the ass, so what!

We still play to our competition, or what we believe it to be. The outright stinkers these guys have laid in the last month all came in games they thought they could mail it in. (Miami, Eastern, BG). Akron and KSU may be struggling, but we've wanted them for years and BSU took advantage when it could get them.

Well wel all you doubting Thomas’ Isn’t that 18 wins ? It is 17. 2 tough home games remaining, one tough road game. We do have Northern twice, but it is really easy to lose any of these games.
