Northern Illinois @ Bowling Green Game Thread

Northern Illinois Huskies at Bowling Green Falcons, Feb 10, 2010 6:00 PM CST

Did you know that BG had both male and female mascots?  And that they are both on coke?

Your Northern Illinois Huskies (8-14, 4-6) @ the Bowling Green Falcons (11-11, 4-6)
Anderson Arena, Bowling Green, OH
6:00 PM (CST) Wednesday
Spread: BGSU -6.5, Last Ten: 5-5
TV: N/A, Radio: 670 The Score / WBGU 88.1

Once again, I'm giving a sliver of hope to Coach Patton and the NIU Men's Basketball team to get me excited about this team.  A win here could be a huge boost in momentum going in to the final stretch of MAC West games and finally Cleveland for the MAC Tournament.

Speaking of drugs, the Falcons will be without welcome back after a 3-game suspension Danny McElroy, a 6'8" freshman who was suspended for possession of 6.57 grams of the green stuff.  He wasn't seeing much playing time anyways.

Still on Bowling Green: the 6'9" 285 lb senior Otis Polk, who is averaging 7.1 rpg and 9.4 ppg.

Will they shoot 63% from three like Miami did?  BG is only 302nd in the nation in launching up the tre-ball.  Watch out for G Dee Brown (Yes, DEE BROWN) who shoots 47% and PG Joe "The Polish Prince" Jakubowski who shoots 36% from beyond the arc.

we can not win a ball game to save our lives

we can not win right now if our lives depended on it. I am starting to think the six game winstreak before was the worst thing that could of happened for this team. They got a little momentum and thought they were unstoppable now they cant play defense and cant make a shot at all.
Patton’s job has to be on the line at this point bc this team is just not buying into his philosophy

Kowal and Patton carried the team tonight

Very disappointed.

As I waited briefly for BaWA to load up, I actually found my self saying “please, please, please, please” only to see the score and be completely disappointed.

This might actually be the worst loss of the season especially considering we were up by 11 at the break. Completely unacceptable.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
