Go Cats. We have a 2 game lead over the Bulls but they are dangerous and I'd like to see it be 3. We squeaked out the 74-71 win in OT up there after being down 10 at half, hopefully the comeback isn't needed in this one.

Good time for a statement effort against a quality team, Go Bobcats.

Probably need this one if the Bobcats want to make a case for an at-large should they lose in the MAC tournament. Buffalo winning this one probably would put it ahead of Ohio for NCAA tournament consideration. Both teams are just outside of the tournament field according to this week's projection and both trail Central Michigan and Miami.

Ohio's a great shooting team that had a horribly shooting night against a really good opponent, so that's unfortunately that's what happens. Dillard is a great player but I'm not sure she still was in there with four minutes to go in a 30-point game playing against Ohio's bench.

Yea, they kept their starters in there a loooong time. Dillard got her 2,000th point on a late three that put her at 33 for the night. She's a player. We couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Too bad, decent crowd.

As a Navy guy, I'd say "broad side of a battleship"! But, I agree with the thought. It's like all of our players had their season's worst game at the same time . . . with the lone exception of Burke who had 19 points, and 5 out 11 from three. Let's hope they can shake it off and get back in the grove against Akron on Saturday.

An alarming loss to say the least.

I have a long time running issue with their coach, Felisha Legette-Jack, although she is a good coach. She actually called me out from across the court some years ago for a comment I made. Last night I said "I guess it's better to run up the score than allow your bench to play". No response last night.

Cierra Dillard put on a show last night on her way to scoring her 2000th career point: 14 for 22 for 35 points, only 8 fewer than the entire Ohio team.

Costly loss for the Cats in their quest for a regular season MAC title (Miami lost as well)as we could have made up ground on Miami with a win. Dillard was a beast last night with WNBA scouts in attendance. Hopefully this was just a one time nightmare game for the Cats that we can learn from and move on. Shooting 20 percent from the field was hard to comprehend-even while watching it unfold. Time to regroup and respond, Go Bobcats!

With 0 personal fouls, I believe.

I think our offense is built around the 3ball. If we miss we usually don't rebound so it can have deflating effect.
Interior passing is not good sometimes and a few players put their head down and drive to the hoop with mixed results and usually foul trouble.
I really like the team and watching them play. A few MAC teams have our number such as; Miami, CMU and Buffalo.
