Am I allowed to say we're going to get boat raced?

It'll be interesting to see how Ohio matches up with Kent's big 2 - Rob Whaley and Delrecco Gillespie. Whaley is a load at around 290 lbs. and single-handily (27 pts, 14 reb) brought Kent back against Miami before they lost in OT. He was a big h.s. recruit who went to UNLV for 2 years before leaving for Kent. Gillespie has progressed from a little-used player who averaged about 3 pts a game his first two years at Kent, to 8 pts last year to 20 pts and a nation-leading 12 rebounds this year. Simmons can match up physically with either one of them but I'm not sure about Hadaway. And we know Boals' aversion to playing Simmons and Breath at the same time.

That Miami OT loss must have really taken a toll on the high scoring Flashes as they struggled mightly in their next game in double OT to score 75 in their narrow win at Eastern. Wonder how the Yipsilanti bunch held them in check; warn out, just cold or special defense?

With Jeff Boals at the helm, Kent has nothing to worry about. Boat races all around people.

What are the chances this game is even played tomorrow? And Saturday is AT Buffalo.

Boals has to finish 5-5 to stay above .500

Which would give us 16 wins in back-to-back seasons. Not great.

I don't think they're gonna fire an alum who has never had a below .500 season, but he's on the hot seat, and it's getting warmer. Next year if they start slow...

That said - we're still playing for three days in Cleveland. Currently we're sitting at 5 vs 4 Toledo. Same as last season. Get hot and make a run. Or we're looking for trouble in 2027.

Shouldn't be any problem, will be a full 48 hours after it stopped snowing. I would expect highways to be mostly back to normal by this evening.

University announced we are not reopening again until Wednesday. At my house we just had a fresh inch or two of new snow in the last few hours.
