Also, along that same line, has a freshman ever won MAC Player of the Year? Sears is off to a white-hot start this year. He’s certainly fun to watch.

All the skills. Had to replace an NBA draft pick. Take him away and we would be in a tough spot.

Right now, I think POTY would be a two player race between Mark and Ryan Rollins at Toledo, with Miammi's Dae Dae Grant as a dark horse.

Actually, that isn't always the case and perhaps that is not the most common way they are referred. Just like if you have a redshirt your class doesn't advance on how you are listed on a roster it looks like most schools are listing that way. SC-Upstate has Floyd Rideau listed as a freshman even though he played in nearly every game last year. Ohio's men's roster is NOT listed like that though. Sears is listed as a SO, Brown and Roderick JRs, and BVP as a SR and such. The women's roster is listed the typical way. Johnson is a JR. Mace and Pope are still Freshman even though this is their 3rd year on the roster. I also think the football team did it the more normal way. Rourke played in all of the last three years but I think he was still listed as a FR. It seems to me that the later way is most likely become the standard next year.

Redhsirts are different, you had very limited or no action and therefore you "re-do" that year of eligibility. This is an extra year completely so players should be listed as normal and anyone taking advantage of that 5th year should be listed accordingly. Can't wait until 2025 when we can stop worrying about this oddity that monkeys with everything.

I don't know if BVP or Sears has been the MVP. I think after today I am leaning Sears. I think both have a good chance to be first team all MAC. I am not thinking that Sears is headed for the NBA anytime soon. He has to become a better passing PG for that to happen. I just hope that Boals is back next year along with the whole recruiting class that is lined up, BVP is back, if Wilson can't go that he allowed to come back and chooses to do so.

After today he has to be well over 90% this season. Nick Kellog holds the Ohio season record at 88%. If he doesn't get that this season he could have three more seasons to take a crack at it. For all that has been said I don't know if it has been mentioned that he could be the best free throw shooter in Bobcat history. The career record is Dave Jamerson at 84.6%. He is well ahead of that right now.

With the cancellation of tonight's NIU game, there are no more games this week. Only one other player scored more than 20 points. Ryan Rolling had 23 pts, 6 reb, 3 ast and 3 stl in a beat down of Marshall.

Today we have a Sophomore point guard breaking out as an elite scorer but needs to work on being a ball distributor to show he can play at the next level. It makes me wish we had seen more of them on the court at the same time when we had the chance given how well their skills complement each other.

"Distributing" can be More than assists that are a one "pass/distribute" - Initiating an offensive scheme is just as important even though the final dish that leads to a bucket several passes later may not be an "official" assist.... And if that leads to the PG scoring - who gives an F - It Worked!
