The first MAC team showed up today. Bowling Green is listed at #128.

Link to BG Preview

They list BG as #4 in the MAC.

When is the last time a BG team started in the top 144? considering there are like 320 teams...I'm okay with 128. It shows that a little bit of respect is being showed for an up and coming program

All I have to say is , Chris Knight better get his butt in gear , buy into what Orr is doing and lead this team. He has to have a monster season for us to be in contention for anything. With Graves gone, more pressure is on CK to score. He has all the talent , he just needs to get his mind to line up.

Im going to guess Buffalo, Akron, and Miami of Ohio are the other three, Maybe Kent Bump's Miami or Buffalo

23.5 PPG does not make me optimistic in our starting five. Even if you throw 15 PPG to Goins, that's only 38.5 a game. Otis needs to stay out of foul trouble and everyone needs to contribute like they know they can. If Coach Orr gets the guys in gear ealy on, which I think he will, my faith will be restored.

Guess you won't have to worry about this any more as they've announced that he's transferring. That's two projected starters who've now gone elsewhere if I'm calculating correctly... Didn't we use to complain about a former coach losing players? What the heck is happening with Men's basketball at BG? I'm personnally impressed with Orr, but, then again, I also had a friendly relationship with DD too.

The kids that have transferred were Dakich recruits. I think if kids don't want to play in Orr's system he's more than willing to let them go. They didn't sign on to be a part of his team. He and Dakich are two completely different people and expect different things of their players.

BINGO. I don't blame the players or coaches. Sometimes the fit just isn't there.
