MBB: Ohio Athletic Conference

[JK]

UGGGHHHH! 

That's all I have to say....

[Dr. Acula]

Cheer up JK...you guys beat the Otters!!  Yes, I'm sure you're going to tell me that they're 0-6 so that's nothing to be that happy about, but we both know you smile when Cap beats the Otters in ANYTHING.   

[Toph]

Forgot to mention, Sat. against Muskie, JCU led by as many as 24 in the 2nd half...70-46 with 4:06 remaining in the game.  Muskingum ends up losing 76-66!  Talk about a furious comeback!

Wasn't at this one, but from the looks of things both coaches emptied their benches.  JCU once again forces over 20 TO's and shuts down the perimeter shooting, Muskingum was just 4-22 from three.

That's the impression I got from the game recap of this one.  Musky went on an 11-1 run to end the game to make the score look closer than it actually was.

Whoa, Mount Union men sneak up on John Carroll

[Dr. Acula]

Wow, I did NOT see that one coming!  Congrats to the Raiders.  Big, BIG win.

[inthecrease]

big win for the raiders and a nice 4 game home win streak. i guess there is a difference between the old Timken Gym and the new McPhearson Academics and Athletics Center

[Toph]

Yikes.

Shooting 50% from the free throw line is going to kill this team.

I really don't know what to think about Mt Union beating JCU, esp considering Mt Union lost to Marygrove earlier this year.  Marygrove is a pretty weak outfit from Detroit every year.

very confusing.

Incidently, the top 4 teams in the OAC meet this weekend.

Mt Union/Ohio Northern
JCU/Wilmington

I don't expect JCU to shoot that badly very often.  It's tough to win them all...

Considering how badly the Streaks shot from the field in general, three, and the line...and still to only lose by 5 says a lot.

Incidently, they both look like fantastic games! JCU and Wilmington are heading into the third OT, and Mt. Union leads ONU by 2 with just about 2 minutes left.

Wilmington 107 John Carroll 105 3OT

Mt. Union 64 Ohio Northern 58


So the pre-season OAC favorite already has 2 conference losses.

[seventiesraider]

OAC appears to up for grabs

[ScotsFan]

It just wouldn't be the OAC if that weren't the case now would it?

So true, ScotsFan.  At least we can't complain that it's not entertaining!  I said I was confused after week 1...I'm more confused now than I was then.
