No webcast is either terrible for me or a blessing (cut the cord a couple of years ago). In the middle of selling and buying another house so the wife and I were sadly missing the tournament to save money. The blessing is that maybe I'll try and get the single ticket left in my companies box (wife is an OU alum as well and understands my passion for Bobacat Basketball). It looks like I have to figure out how I'm going to get down to the Q tomorrow.

I'll be putting pedal to metal from Cincinnati to try and make the tip for this one. So glad we got Kent instead of Buffalo. Not gonna be easy by any means because the Flashes have been playing great lately, but it's a tiny bit easier than having to match up with the likes of Massinburg, Hamilton and Connor.

Yeah if anyone knows what the Ohio section # will be it would be greatly appreciated.

And Perkins...and Kadiri killed us the last game.

Hall has been beastly and Edwin dominated last time we played. I am hoping we can contain one of those. Laster played great at the MAC Center so hopefully he continues to fill it up. So pumped for this and rooting for Balls in the early game!

I wasn't able to make that trip last night. This work thing is really getting in the way of my life plans.

Today, however, packing up and heading to The Q from Cinci!

The stress level last night was just at an all time high. Not sure why I do this to myself. Oh wait....I'm actually very sure - I Love My Bobcats!

Line up the shots on the bar of the Winking Lizard!

My guess is the designated Ohio section tonight will be 124. Akron 127, Ball State 110 and Kent State 107.

Northbound and down in t-minus 4 hours. Wife got the day off work, meeting friends at the Lizard. It's the way a Friday in March is supposed to be! Go Cats!

We are 2 point favorites. Don't think an Akron/BSU line has been posted yet for some reason.

These are arguably the 4 of the 5 most engaged fan bases in the conference, with Toledo being the other. Should be a fun evening.

I said the same thing last night. These are the 4 programs that actually give a damn about basketball, so it is a best case scenario for the MAC.

In terms of attendance MAC got its wish. Ohio had BY FAR the largest crowd during the 2nd session! Kents was actually very disappointing but my guess is it will be much better tonight. The early start by Akron may hold its crowd down and I have no idea how many Ball State fans will show. I haven't seen many walking around.

I absolutely wanted to face Kent and not ashamed of it. Buffalo is just a horrible match up! Ohio will have its hands full with Kent especially on the boards! My goodness they battled! We have got to figure out a way to get Dartis more involved tonight.

We should have a bit of an edge because this will be Kent's third game in five days. They might start to wear out in the second half.
We will get by.

I was thinking the same thing watching the game last night. They worked their butts off in that game and the whole thing was played at a frenetic pace. But they also play more players than we do. They had 8 guys get double digit minutes last night, we had 6.

In the same vein, I'm hoping that the Cats have shook all of the rust off from having not played in nearly a week as the first half last night was forgettable. The second half last night game me the impression that they are ready to go from an energy and interest standpoint.

I would love to knock off the Flashes and see the Zips have their auto ticket to the NIT punched tonight!

I hope these young Bobcats are hydrating, stretching, and massaging that lactic acid build up out of their muscles, while putting some quality protein and clean carbohydrates into their bodies, so that they can attack the Flashes with a wicked pace and then turn around and do the same to their next opponent on Saturday! Go Cats!!
