Bowling Green

[GuyfromNKY]

7 pm Wednesday night. Looks like the only to watch it is ESPN3. BG is 213 in Kenpom so actually a little worse than Robert Morris but I don't see it being near the blow out of RM. Things I look for:

- continued defensive intensity
- >8 steals
- win the rebounding battle by 10 +
- continue to limit turnovers. The 11 number on Sunday was ideal. I want to see no more than 12 and hopefully going forward we can get around 10 a game.
- more than 15 assists. More than 20 would be real nice, along with more than 75 points.

Most importantly to not get rattled on the first road trip of the year. Good scheduling by Mick to go get this game against an average opponent on the road early in the year. This game will pay dividends in NY next week. I'm drunk on the kool-aid at this point so my prediction is 83-59.

Great post. I'm going with:

UC 91
Bowling Green 55

UC 102-They get exasperated, hand us the keys to their empty gym sometime in the second half, and leave.

Saw us at -11 and 141 o/u.

Damn that's kinda easy money

Yeah I was thinking the same. It's kind of freaking me out actually.

I'll leave it alone. Theymust know something we don't. That's a big difference

If the stroh is sold out which I would think it will be, it may be closer than we think. It's a small gym, fans are on top of the court. Its our first road game so that factors in a bit. We have vets so i am hoping its not a big deal. The big thing for UC will be is to not let BG think they have a chance. Take the few fans out of the game.

I am hoping to see a similar game like the one we played at Tulane last year. Does anyone know if Rallycats are traveling for the game?

If any of you guys are going and it's your first time in BG, do yourself a favor and go to Myles pizza or Campus Pollyeyes. Myles has great pizza (expect to be there a very long time) and campus pollyeyes has amazing chicken stuffed breadsticks.

You're spot on. Myles pizza is amazing. My wife's family is from Perrysburg (Toledo suburb) and I'll stop to get Myles sometimes on my way up to see them.

The stuffed breadsticks at Campus Pollyeyes are great! Good call.

Does anyone know if Rallycats are bring a small group of UC students? In a gym of only 4k they could Def be heard.

The White Out has already begun to take over the Stroh! Rally towels for everyone! #Pack4Frack #TalonsUp https://t.co/605Kx42OlL

White out for tonight's game. Should be similar environment to SMU Moody.

I expect it to be close for the first 10 minutes, but with our style of play I think we tire them out and win by 28.

UC 85
BGF57

 

[jacobkdoyle]

I'm hoping we get out of the gate quickly tonight. We've been around 10+ by the first media timeout a lot more often lately. It'd be great to see that continue on the road.

10+ by first media timeout on road would be dominance

I like the precision in your prediction. Not win by 25 or win by 30. Win by 28. Kudos to you, sir. If this comes true, you should just retire.

I just got a hunch is all. Lol
