Not a fluke. But we can't be a flake either.
That win isn't going away.
But I agree this and every game we have to be ready. Establish home court important here too.
Consistent, disciplined, tough, we can be better than our talent level and depth predict.

Not sure but I heard Hazen would be back by February. My source is credible.

Consistent, disciplined, tough, we can be better than our talent level and depth predict. Not a fluke in our eyes but a fluke in the eyes of casual Ncaa followers. They only see final score and the teams records. They had heard Toledo was great and then we throttled them. We now get some of hype we lose our next one and all of a sudden the thought is well ball state is not that good Toledo just had an off night

Given the history of this coach and his teams, a giant turd will be laid in the MAC tournament. Don't get your hopes up.

Given the history of this coach and his teams, a giant turd will be laid in the MAC tournament. Don't get your hopes up. There isn't history with a team that has the top end potential of this one. I agree hope can't be terribly high getting through the MAC tourney, but it has little to do with history.
The early Whitford teams did not have near enough talent to win a MAC tourney or get to the Final. 2 dismal teams without any hope at all.
Last year's team which started the season with some potential to make noise was not the same team at the end and had worn down through games ending the regular season.
The only other team with enough talent to even have a dream of a Final game pushed Akron to the limit losing by a basket in the semi. That's history to look at since this team even short handed is better.
The other issue with history is Whitford and the rest of the MAC have not faced as good a MAC team as we probably have to beat this year in Buffalo.
Even a great team is rarely an actual favorite to win a tourney, 3 games in 3 days makes upsets easy. I would gueses simulations make Buffalo, a prohibitive favorite, perhaps 60%+ odds of winning the MAC tourney, we may have 15-20%, along with Toledo. The rest of the field maybe 10 percent total remaining. Bottom feeders a fraction of a percent, 2 or 3 middling teams maybe a couple percent. It's hard!

Reading other MAC team blogs Toledo saying BSU will probably lose by 20 to somebody middle of the pack & (BSU) just has our number. WMU site Don't give it to the Cardinals yet they are a passive team. BSU should have won last yr they will flop is it the coach?

What? Other schools fans have figured out we’re passive? And that we tend to stumble against bad teams? The hell you say.
