MAC Semifinal: BG vs Akron

[hammb]

I said Denny would need to step up. In 3 minutes, has 5 points, and assist and rebound. Keep it up

Threw up an airball as well, but is looking more like the Denny from games 1-15 than the MAC season version.

Good...I don't think you can beat Akron without making some threes and while Lillard was awesome yesterday his shot is still not his strong suit.

Hanging in there so far...don't look overmatched and don't look like the moment is too big. Good things.

BG section is across from the bench

[hammb]

That's right, makes sense. The tix are for both games, so I figure the two higher seeds get their sections behind the benches.

[gmartin]

I swear, I don't think McAdams ever misses a shot against BG

[kdog27]

Can't give up these runs

[hammb]

They keep making those damned threes, and it doesn't matter if they're guarded or not. Jesus...

[gmartin]

Joseph gets fouled over the back on a rebound no call. Lillard grabs a board with Johnson over his back and Lillard gets caller for the foul.

Akron doesn't need any extra help.

[gmartin]

Falling apart. 3 straight turnovers. Stupid fouls. And giving up 3s.

[hammb]

Stupid turnovers and stupid fouls seen this before.

I'm done with Denny. This team has been better down the stretch with him on the bench and that's where he needs to go. If he won't hit his open 3s he's worthless

[gmartin]

We need to win these next 4 minutes before half and keep it under 9 pt deficit

[hammb]

We need to win these next 4 minutes before half and keep it under 9 pt deficit

Agreed. Need Lillard and alcegaire to attack more. If we're to win this game we may need Matt fox at some point

[gmartin]

We cannot stop Johnson. And he is a 75% foul shooter.

[hammb]

The way this team played at times in Mac season I must give some serious props to huger and the team. They've battles their asses off this week and that wasn't always the case this year. Akron is really good but we're fighting

[gmartin]

Kept it respectable.

Only down by 6. 41-35.

Tisdale has been the liability tonight.

[gmartin]

No matter what happens this second half we should be proud of how this team has competed the past 2 1/2 games.

With that said, now let's go out and shock the MAC
