BG at OU

Too bad we aren't playing them again in football here. I don't expect us to get destroyed quite as bad as we kicked their ass in football, but I give us about a 3% chance at winning. Ohio is my pick to win the MAC this year (yes, I know Akron's had their number as of late). But I still think they have the most balanced team in the conference, they can be terrific at times from three (Kellogg is one of the best shooters in the MAC and would be "the" guy I want taking a three if I need to hit one), they have very athletic guys in the post who can defend, rebound and block shots in Ndour and Smith (Ndour is my vote for Newcomer of the Year and he is a MAC Player of the Year candidate), and they continue to reload without missing a beat despite losing the MAC Player of the Year in Cooper last year (I would argue they are actually a little better this year without him). Further, there will be no argument whatsoever from anyone in attendance if they decide to break out the "Coach"..."No Coach" chant. Much better and much more fitting than the "Winning Team, Losing Team" one here no doubt, and it'll be their last time to get it in on Orr in his farewell tour.
