MBB: Ohio Athletic Conference

[Dr. Acula]

Up 24 midway through the 2nd half to up 5 in the final minute.  Freaking Wilmington, man.  It seems like every time they play them at some point Wilm has some avalanche run where they're pressing, Mount is turning it over and Wilm is making everything.  It just feeds on itself until Mount snaps out it and regains their footing (the Farrington and 1 today).

ONU took down Muskie 73-65 in Ada.  Fish were 3-19 from 3 and 12-21 on FT.  Ouch.

[Dr. Acula]

This is a big week for sorting out the top of the conference.  Muskie has Wilm and Ott at home this week.  ONU is at Ott on Tuesday.  That's a big game for who can lay claim to #2 in the conference right now.  If ONU wins they will have beaten both Muskie and Ott and lost to Mount by 2* in Alliance.  If Ott wins they will be 5-1 with their only loss being at Mount, but then they go right on the road to Muskie on Saturday.


* ONU hit an uncontested 3 at the buzzer so it was technically a 2 point game.

The dust is starting to settle a little in the top 25 poll.  The ORV is slimming down.  Mount moved up a spot to #4 and got a 1st place vote this week.  Calvin stayed put at #16.  No other region 7 team is even receiving a vote.

Who do you call about the Flosports feeds?  These commercial runs in the middle of action are deplorable. I had at least 7 in the second half of the Mount-Marietta game. A few of the commercials came back to time outs.  It was nuts, and not what we pay for.

[Dr. Acula]

Mount is up 24-5 on Cap right now.  Not starting slow tonight.

Vaden is a difference maker when he's on the court.  Him and Taylor out there at the same time just doesn't seem fair defensively

[Dr. Acula]

Agreed.  They're so long with those two roaming around defensively.  Vaden got the start and I haven't seen Laurich at all tonight.  Hopefully he's okay.  Let's hope Tucker cools down a little at halftime.  20 points on 6-7 from 3 is scary.  Cap needs him to stay hot considering they're still down 16 despite the unconscious shooting from Tucker.
