SERIOUSLY DOUBT this was a thrown game by Kent to get to the Bobcats. Something else must be afoot.

That seems unlikely.

That seems unlikely. Yeah...I do. There is a good chance that Ohio is down 2..maybe 3 players. Heck, at this point, we don't even know if Ohio is playing. Kent State could get a forfeit and a freebie into the semis. Why would this not be in their head? #BleedGreen #TrentIsGOAT Back to Top Pataskala General User Member Since: 7/8/2010 Location: At least six feet away from anybody else Post Count: 9,296 Status: Offline     RE: Did Kent State Just Throw The Buffalo Game To Play Ohio?    Posted: 3/6/2021 1:10:23 PM  I'm not a conspiracy theorist but I wouldn't be surprised. According to Kent's student press, Pippen sat to rest some injuries. (Other press reports just say "coach's decision" or Pippen was "unavailable.") But Kent hadn't played in a week and Pippen played 30, 28 and 34 minutes in the previous three games. He almost had a triple-double vs EMU two weeks ago and had 15 pts & 10 rebs vs Fiami last week. No mention of any injuries in the write-up on the Fiami game. So unless it was something that came up in practice this week any injuries he might have didn't seem to hamper him much lately. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Bobcats have issues w/available personnel. That is no secret. Kent seems to have issues. Sitting Pippen just for a 'maybe' against the Bobcats vs. getting playing for the No. 2 seed doesn't make sense. If you watched the game, Kent put up a fight w/o Pippen and Hamilton. Could have made a big difference with them. No. 2 seed would have gotten them a game w/Miami, a team they swept with and w/out Nuga (a third starter out). Plus put them in a bracket away from Toledo until the final. With a week off before the UB game, and a week off after, Pippen's knees should not have been a concern to sit out. Then not to play the 6-11 Hamilton, too??? I don't think any of this has anything to do with playing the Bobcats ....

And even if we do play, it certainly is looking like we are short-handed. And if we're short handed it's our own fault. If other teams can field a full roster and we can't then we need to look as to WHY we're failing.
