MAC Semifinal: BG vs Akron

Throw out the past 12 years. Forget about the previous 2 games this year.

BG will beat the Zips 68-64. That was the score in my dream. So far I am 2-0.

Akron will struggle from the field. Lillard will continue his stellar play but Denny lights it up for 16 pts and BG moves into the finals against Ohio

If we play D like we did today, we can win. Keep those dreams perfect my friend. GO BG.

Spencer Parker and Denny or Alcegaire need to step up. We need to get 30 pts from a combination of those three. Worrell and Wiggins 12 total. Joseph and Ali 8. Lillard and Tisdale 16 combined. Play some D and BG will win.

Unfortunately I dreamt we lost to Ohio on a last second shot in the title game.

How fitting would it be to make it to the finals by beating 3 teams that we were a combined 0-6 against only to lose in the finals to a team we beat twice in the regular season?

LMAO...icing on the BG basketball history cake, eh?

I, OTOH, don't think that's gonna happen because KSU hit that last second 3 at the end of the game to pull within 1. That used up our quota of half court buzzer beaters against for the tournament. So I think we're good.

Zips fans not giving us much respect. Which I can understand given our record against them past 12 years.

They think they will win by 20. Can sit their team the second half to rest for the championship game. Calling Lillard lucky and only on a hot streak. All I can say is let's end the streak and shut them up!!

BG will win this game.

Let's do this guys!

I haven't been this excited for a BG game in a LOOONG time. Wish I could have made it to the Q, but it wasn't in the cards tonight.

I'm with ya Hammb. I'll be there tomorrow. 6 hour drive from Indy but well worth it.

We keep McAdams in check we win this game. Also need Parker and Denny/Alcegaire to step up

Lots of empty seats behind the BG bench. Nearly every seat is full behind the Zips bench

Akron always has a good crowd there. As do KSU and Buffalo.

I didn't figure we would draw well considering nobody but the most optimistic fan would have thought we would be playing in this game.

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