Opponent speculation

[Globetrotter]

We play someone close geographically. Who do you think it will be.

[gmartin]

I am going to say BG will host a game Saturday at noon and will host the winner of the IPFW - Evansville game.

[OptionQB]

This is how I would personally group it which means this has NO CHANCE of happening . . .

UNH v NJIT (EAST)
James Madison v South Carolina Upstate (EAST)
BGSU v St Francis (Pa) (MIDWEST)
Norfolk St. Eastern KY (EAST)
Eastern Illinois v Oakland (MIDWEST)
La Lafayette v Incarnate Word (SOUTH)
Dartmouth v Canisius (EAST)
TX A/M Corpus-Christi v Florida Gulf Coast (WEST) somebody had to get shipped out
Sacramento St v Portland St (WEST)
Cleveland St v Western Mich (MIDWEST)
IPFW v Evansville (MIDWEST)
UMES v High Point (SOUTH)
Kent v MTSU (SOUTH)
UNCW v Sam Houston St (WEST)
Northern Arizona v Grand Canyon (WEST)
Tenn Martin v Northwestern State (SOUTH)

Also take in consideration when the games are played to give both teams in the next round the same rest . . .

BG and Eastern Illinois both won last night . . . Clev St/WMU and IPFW/Evansville play tonight and could be easily grouped using the above (or similar) format.

My guess is we get Eastern Illinois on Saturday in the Stroh . . .

For those keeping score at home . . .
NJIT won Tues
Upstate won
Eastern KY won
Eastern Ill won
La Lafayette won

Most other games are tonight

Tenn-Martin and NW State play tmrw

You are right. You are wrong. And I do not know on the other.

BG will host a game on Saturday.

Tip-off is 1:00 PM (close though)

Opponent is TBA right now.

[Flipper]

TBA? I hope not...they have a really good backcourt

[Rollo83]

Our next opponent should come from this group...

Eastern Illinois
Eastern Kentucky
Cleveland State/Western Michigan winner
Kent State/Middle Tennessee winner
IPFW/Evansville winner
UT Martin (if they advance)

I doubt they would put us against Western Michigan or Kent State this early.

So much for the regionalism theory if that's true. They did announce that we'll host the game on Saturday at 1 p.m.

[Schadenfreude]

Has an Ivy League school ever played in Bowling Green?

Well it definitely will be the winner of Dartmouth and Canisius, who plays tonight at 7 p.m. ET.

I am not sure if an Ivy League school has ever played in BG. But, I regularly refer to BGSU as the Harvard of the Midwest to my friends who didn't go to BG.

[BGFan]

Has an Ivy League school ever played in Bowling Green?

I don't know about bouncy ball, but they have in hockey.

[BGSU33]

I hope we play Dartmouth

[BGSU33]

Has an Ivy League school ever played in Bowling Green?

Dartmouth did in 1968, Cornell did in 1980, Princeton did in 1984.

[BGSU33]

Canisius it is. Also, WMU was destroyed at home by Cleveland State. If BG can beat Canisius and CSU wins again, that could be a possible opponent because of proximity. We played CSU in the non-conference portion of our schedule but sooner or later overlap with common foes or conference opponents could happen. But first thing's first - Beat Canisius!
