On Saturday, December 20, our Falcons (8-3) will head to Athens to take on the Ohio Bobcats (5-6) in the MAC opener. The game will begin at 4:00pm and stream on ESPN+.
Ohio enters this one on a 4-game win streak after a slow start against pretty strong competition to start the year. They were picked ahead of us in the MAC preseason poll, so it should be a nice test on the road to start conference play. We haven’t won at OU since December 30, 2020, so a chance to break a long streak here.
Go Falcons!

First game I've gotten to watch this year. We're actually active on defense. And for the first time I can remember in a while, we have a decent/good MAC team in deeper foul trouble than we are!

"Pretty clean I don't know" on a foul where Kuanny bodied Wol pretty thoroughly on a dunk attempt. Even on review they announcers are denying objective reality. What are they looking at?

Who the heck is Camden Karel and why is he getting playing time now but not earlier in the season?

OUTSTANDING minutes from the freshmen Leach and Karel to close out the first half after we got in foul trouble. Love the depth of this team!

He's a freshman. He's developing. Love to see this progress this early in the season!

He’s probably an Akron fan for men’s basketball

Brutal stretch there. Makhi has to be smarter but man that's a cheapy.
This BG group is competing as well as we've ever completed in Athens. Love to see it.

Doubletech to just wipe it all feels like quality reffing

He's a worthwhile young player. Not worth major minutes but does some things.
Goins I don't like at all but using him for some minutes to have him use his fouls looks wise today

We went into kill the clock offense way too damned early in this one.

Happy that we got a road win in conference play. Those can be hard to come by sometimes.
33, any comment?
