Things were better in Carver Arena last night than they were against Xavier, but they weren't good. BG is struggling to score, and that was especially apparent last night, and then tack 15 turnovers on top of it, and you just are not getting enough quality possessions to...

Ok, with a night to reflect, I'm still feeling pretty good about the win last night. Here's the perspective. I know that Miami and Akron are among the worst teams in FBS football. I know that Buffalo is struggling. Even so, we beat all three....we beat the teams...

What is their body of work?It is not great. They have won only one FBS game, against their arch-rival Kent. This has to be a tough year in Akron. They were set up for an exciting season with a new stadium, and in general it has been a dreadful year. You have to look back and remember...

So, courtesy of statsheet.com, here is the sad tale of the Xavier game, told in its full and foul glory. The effective FG% for Xavier is just sick...(effective FG counts 3-pointers as 1.5x a regular FG), and ours is bad even for our team. The FTs are not good either, but there is no...

Well, Bowling Green and Xavier played in hoops tonight, and it was a pretty serious mismatch, as Xavier shot 65% for the course of the game and beat BGSU 101-57. Their 3-point shooting was almost as good, if you can believe that.The second half was almost as bad as the first...

So, here is the standing and the road home for teams in the East. Essentially with the Temple win over Akron, things get even slimmer. Temple would have to lose out, and then OU would have to lose at NIU and beat Temple, and BG would have to win out, and that would create...
