Coaching Carousel
3 major conference jobs are open. I am not yet qualified for any of them. The big news is that one of them is Duke, as Coach K has decided to retire. The other two are Minnesota and St. John's. No large conference jobs are open. Some WCC and WAC jobs are available but nothing real special. However, I think that might change. Duke hires Nevada's head coach, opening up one of the top mid-major jobs in the nation. At this point though, I've built Ohio up to the point that it is within striking distance of Nevada and Gonzaga and Pepperdine, etc. Minnesota hires Albany's head coach. St John's hires Old Dominion's head coach. I'm actually only 3rd on the list for the Nevada job anyway. But I would have turned it down. After that I could have any mid-major job of my choosing if I wanted it. San Francisco, Fresno State, Boise State, Old Dominion... |

Assistant Hiring
I'm starting to see better assistant's available to me. I seem to qualify for "B-" level assistants instead of just C+ ones. However, none of them imrpove the skills that i need in a way that would make sense to fire one of my current guys. Transfers A 77 rated SG transfers out of Iowa and to Northwestern State. A 77 rated PG transfers from VCU to NJIT. Wow, VCU is good enough that they dump a 77 rated PG on the bench to the point that he gets pissed and leaves?? A 71 rated SF transfers from Nebraska to Central Michigan. This is the only transfer in our out involving anyone in the MAC |

Offseason Recruiting
We've already landed our big man as 3* 7 foot C Darryl Withers will be coming to play for Ohio next year. We have two other scholarships out there: 4* PG Jon McCully - #60 OVR. Right now only two teams are listed on his interest list. We're at 85%. Charlotte is below us. We're the only offer. The fact that i've been working on him all year and only have him at 85% probably means he's a lost cause but until someone else steals him i'm not going away. 3* SG Sidney Whitted - #192 OVR from the Bronx. His overall grades are all solidly in the B range, but none really stand out as awesome. He looks most likely to be a speedy defensive guy with an average shot. We have him at 100% and are his only offer. It seems a near certainty that we will land him. We have a 3* SF, a JC SO(only would be with us 2 years) that is at 100% interest in us, and Georgetown. Neither have offered. I've had no success scouting him at all, I don't know much about him. No one else has offered and he's a possible target but the lack of scouting is frustrating. I don't know if its a bug or what but I requested game tape on him 3 or 4 times last year and that option was always there the next week but I never got any scouting info. I have him at 100% though. I hae a couple other targets in the 80-90% range that I could consider if I lose McCully. Initial Signing Day Our 3* SG, Whitted, does indeed sign with Ohio as expected. More on him later. McCully has not yet received an offer from anyone else. Week 2 #1 Target John McCully has signed with OHIO!!! I should be a lot more excited about this than I am. He's a 4* PG, a top 100 recruit(#60 OVR). He looks really strong, speedy, possibly a solid shooter, solid defender, decent athlete, good PG skills with the ball... but the fact that no one else ever came calling makes me wonder if he's flawed in some terrible way. Recruiting Class Review 4* PG John McCully - 6'2" 173 lbs - #60 OVR/#29 PG McCully scored 12.4 points and had 5.1 assists in the ABL games. 42% from the field, 77% atthe line and 34% from 3. Shooting: A Skills: A- Defense: B+ Athleticism: A- Rebounding: B- Intelligence: B Potential: B+ Size: C+ Speed and Quickness both scout out at B ratings, I expect a very fast guy to come in. B- defense should also be solid. B- Close/A Med/C 3 pointer. He can shoot off the dribble(B+) and a little in traffic(C+). I'd be perfectly fine with a guy that can drive hard to the basket but can't necessarily shoot the 3. C+ hands and passing. C+ vert/str and C hustle. 3* C Darryl Withers - 7'0" 223 lbs - #397 OVR/#33 C Just average but with size. C orb/drb. B- post offense/C- post defense. C- shot blocking. A- str/B+ hustle. Doesn't look like a scorer at all. C- close/C- in traffic. 3* SG Sidney Whitted - 6'4" 183 lbs - #192 OVR/#50 SG top 200 is kinda exciting. 13.4 ppg in the ABL, 41% from the field, 38% from 3. 57% at the line is scary. Shooting: B Skills: B Defense: B+ Athleticism: B+ Rebounding: B- Intelligence: B+ Potential: B Speed C+/Quickness C, Defense and Steals both C+. Shooting is just average, C+ close/C med/C 3. C+ Defensive Awareness is potentially solid too. We'll of course see how all these guys come in, but after landing the 4* PG I've got visions of McCully and Santiago being a very strong backcourt combination for 3 years. |

2016/17 Scheduling
The CPU tries to give me 9 November games, including games on the 4th, 5th and 6th. WTF. I make a lot of modifications to the schedule, getting more of my games in December so I can spend more time recruiting in November, i think I had 3 sunday games scheduled, if you have a sunday game you can't do any visits, so I moved all of those, etc. I think we'll have our toughest schedule yet as well. We won't be a 5 or 6 loss team this year probably, we'll see how we do though and if I am unable to be an at large team b/c I scheduled 1 too many highly unlikely victory, I'll learn from it. I've got Syracuse, Boston college and Nevada on the schedule, all teams sure to be rated higher than me. Our non-conference tourney this year is pretty early, we'll play San diego in the opener and most likely North texas if we win, a Sun Belt team rated pretty well too. |

Incoming Recruits
PG John McCully - 6'2" 173 lbs - 76 OVR Awesome!! C+ Potential which is really exciting. He's as fast as we're likely to see at Ohio, 90 speed/91 quickness. He can defend, handle the ball, and has a great midrange shot (89/A!). He'll be an average 3 point shooter with work. I haven't looked at everything else yet but the CPU has him starting. SG Sidney Whitted - 6'5" 187 lbs - 71 OVR I'm not sure what to make of Whitted. Speedy, above average defense, 70 steals rating is above average. But he's really not a shooter. There's a good chance that Northcutt will be our backup SG for a year and Whitted will get redshirt. C potential. C Darryl Withers - 7'1" 232 lbs - 68 OVR About what I expected. Big, but raw. his raw numbers are not good. 72 orb/76 drb, 82 post offense(that actually is quite good)/71 post deefnse. 80 close/78 in traffic. The CPU wants to redshirt him too. I could do that and put Garcia(6'7") as my backup PF for a bit of size. He gets pushed around a lot though. I've got the guard depth to use Garcia that way if I want. Withers has C+ potential,giving me the hope that he could develop reasonably well. If I can get his rebounding ratings up closer to 80 I'd be a lot more interested in what i'm seeing.

MAC Preview
Last year we were rated 83 OVR at the season's outset, tops in the league, with Miami OH, Kent State, and Ball Freaking State all hovering around 80(81/79/79 for the 3). The +/- in parenthesis represents the change in overall roster strenght, not in position/ranking. 1. Ohio 84 (+1) 2. Kent State 80 (+1) 3. Akron 79 (+2) 4. Miami OH 77 (-3) 5. Bowling Green 77 (0) 6. Eastern Michigan 77 (0) 7. Ball State 76 (-3) 8. Western Michigan 76 (+1) 9. Toledo 74 (-2) 10. Buffalo 73 (-3) 11. Central Michigan 70 (-4) 12. N. Illinois 69 (-6) Northern Illinois got decimated, wow. Ball State graduated Edelin and their big men. They still have Minoff, their very talented SF, but not enough around him to make a lot of noise this year. I don't care who else I'm playing in the cycles when I face Ball Stae, the other game gets simmed. I'll play ball state and if I can get up by 50 points I will, no simming to the end. They need to suffer a little for the last couple seasons. MAC Preseason Recognition Best Overall Player: SF Logan Montgomery - SR Kent State - 82 OVR Best Freshman: PG John McCully - Ohio - 76 OVR Best Shooter: SG Stan Victor - SR - Miami OH - 82 OVR Best Playmaker: PG Toby Warner - SR - Akron - 79 OVR Best Pro Prospect: SF Logan Montgomery - SR Kent State - 82 OVR Best Defender: SF Fab Minoff - SR - Ball State - 81 OVR This is the second year in a row I've had the best freshman in the league. This is a very good thing. I think I like what the CPU has done as far as suggesting a starting lineup, but this year there are more decisions to make than I would usually face. Lineups next. |

2016/17 Ohio Roster
Starting Lineup PG John McCully - FR - 6'2" 173 lbs - 76 OVR 90 speed/91 quickness. 84 defense, only 67 steals which is a C rating, won't produce a ton of turnovers. 85 hands/78 passing (C+/C+). 79 close/89 med/71 3/81 off the dribble/77 in traffic. 78 vert/64 str/67 hustle. C hustle, I'm not sure how that impacts too much though, but its only a C rating and a bit low. I haven't seen McCully in action yet but I'm hopeful he is a big time slasher and scorer inside with that speed and handling. SG Michel Murphy - SR - 6'2" 196 lbs - 76 OVR (+3) 92 speed/85 quickness. 87 defense/74 steals. 80 hands/81 passing. 76 close/78 med/81 3/81 off the dribble. 74 vert/59 str/77 hustle. Averaged 8.1 ppg last year. Murphy isn't the type that has a good blowby move. There is an argument to play Murphy at PG and McCully at SG. I think the deciding factor there will be transition play. Murphy's weak blowby move might make him a better PG(who usually comes back to get the ball after a rebound) if McCully can score a lot in transition. On hte other hand, I might like the 81 3 point rating at SG so that McCully can set him up. SF Rodeny Santiago - SO - 6'4" 214 lbs - 79 OVR (+3) Doing some quick math, if Santiago can gain 3 ratings points each year, he goes into his senior season rated 85 OVR. Just sayin. 79 speed/82 quickness, good for a SF. 81 defense/68 steals, both good for a SF. 86 close/72 med/81 3/77 in traffic/77 off the dribble. 74 o awareness/73 d awareness are both pretty good. 86 vert/79 str/72 hustle, he's a solid athlete too. He showed towards the end of last year a strong potential to become a big time go to scorer. I hope to expand on that this year. Scored 9.6 ppg as a freshman, I'm hoping to get that over 15 ppg this year. PF Lloyd Bright - JR - 6'8" 231 lbs - 80 OVR (+2) I don't think I've ever had a junior rated 80 before. He grew an inch last year which for a PF around this size is big. 81 orb/95 drb, averaged 7.6 rebounds/game last year as a 6'7 PF with lower ratings, I think its reasonable to expect Bright to lead the league in rebounds this year. 82 post offense/79 post defense. 70 blocks/69 steals(B-/B). 88 close/86 in traffic. I've had a hell of a time scoring with Bright in the post. 77 vert/73 str/78 hustle... 85 speed/78 quickness, those are SG/SF speed numbers, not power forward. Bright is a great athlete. C JR Keller - SR - 6'10" 231 lbs - 76 OVR (+3) 80 orb/77 drb. 83 post offense/79 post defense. 73 blocks. 89 close/84 in traffic. This will be Kellers first and only year starting at center. I'm starting him because I think Grundy can be more effective as a backup where i have less scoring options. On the backup squad i can always just give the ball to Grundy and tell him to attack with his size. As a starter he'd not really be a scoring threat though. Backups So there is a minor decision with McCully and Murphy as to who to play at what position... the backups though there are some real challenges. Mendoza or Barker at PG (Barker is the guy i redshirted last year). Garcia at SF or PF(Pf would mean I'm redshirting Withers)? Redshirt Whitted and give Northcutt some minutes? And this is going to look weird, and its subject to change. PG Tim Barker - FR - 6'2 185 lbs - 70 OVR (+1) 85 speed/80 quickness. 84 defense/75 steals. 81 close/71 med/72 3/81 off the dribble. 86 hands/76 passing. He's got good enough PG skills and he is a solid defensive player who can force some turnovers. So he's got a spot on the team. SG Erkan Northcutt - SO - 6'2" 198 lbs - 72 OVR(+3) 86 speed/84 quickness. 80 defense/68 steals. 86 close/75 med/72 3/77 off the dribble. His shooting stats are a bit low, he isn't intended to be a big threat. He's an... acceptable defender and he developed quite a bit last year despite C- potential. So he's got a spot too. SF David Mendoza - SR - 6'4" 174 lbs - 74 OVR (+2) He's a PG... kinda ridiculous to play him at SF. But out of the guards I have he's technically the tallest and best rebounder. So here he goes. 91 speed/82 quikness. 85 defefnse/82 steals. 87 hands. 77 close/70 med/77 3/74 off the dribble/76 in traffic. He isn't great at creating his own shot, though he does ok getting to the basket, and against bigger SF's he might be able to drive here better. With his defense and 3 point rating, he needs to be on the floor. I think he'll do ok here. PF Shawn Garcia - SR - 6'7" 205 lbs - 71 OVR (+1) natural SG. I learned last year that Garcia has a decent place on the backup squad. He has a decent blowby move and can attack the basket fairly well. Plyaing him out of position here might make him an interesting weapon if he can pull out opposing PF's and go by them. 84 speed/78 quickness. 78 defense/77 steals. He'll get killed in the post (52/58 post off/def ratings). 79 close/73 med/76 3/77 off the dribble. C Nathan Grundy - JR - 7'1" 266 lbs - 73 OVR (+3) 74 orb/82 drb. 76 post off/71 post def. 66 blocks 9C+). 92 close/87 in traffic. Grundy does pretty well at times going strong at the basket. He's still fairly raw but coming around. Reserves SF Dwight Snowden - JR - 6'8" 230 lbs - 68 OVR (+1) It might make a lot more sense for Snowden to play PF, keep Northcutt on the bench and go with Barker/Mendoza/Garcia. If Garcia gets killed too badly inside I might do that. But Snowden is just simply unskilled. He offers nothing but a few inches in height and a slightly better fit at PF. SG Sidney Whitted - FR - 6'5" 187 lbs - 71 OVR - REDSHIRT Whitted is decent, but there's no reason to use him right now, 85 speed/83 quickness. 81 defense/70 steals. 80 close/71 med/68 3/76 off the dribble. Mendoza and Garcia will be the main scoring options from the bench, whether I use Whitted or not. Might as well redshirt him, next year unless I recruit better there is more likely to be a space for him. C Darryl Withers - FR - 7'1" 232 lbs - 68 OVR - REDSHIRT I could remove the redshirt and just have a massive line with Grundy and Withers. And I have been known to overthink things at times, I might be doing that here. But Withers with his current ratings is nothing more than a warm body. I knew this might well be the case when i recruited him. But I kinda want to experiment and this seems a good time to do it. |

Season Goals
i'm not doing anything different in an effort to reach these goals, just looking at my coaching sheet and listing out the things I think are within the realm of possibility as far as ways to earn skill improvements. I really need to earn a couple more i think to move up to a larger conference. Assemble a top 20 recruiting class - extrodinarily unlikely, but this is a year where we have 4 scholarships and I have pulled a top 40 class before. If there are two 4* guys out there then who knows. Coach a team into the top 25 - With the tougher schedule this year this may prove unrealistic. Or, I could pull off an upset and do it easily. But either way, this is an accomplishment I need to make at Ohio to improve to the point that I can move up. Coach a team to the sweet 16 - Another goal I really need to reach at Ohio. Without a couple more skill points I don't know if I have a shot at a A-10 job, much less a power conference job. Not this year, but I get another point when I reach 200 wins. I have 164 now, so I need to average 18 wins this year and next. I need to make sure I hit this milestone next season. I'll go as far as to say that if I only win 15 or 16 this year because of some screwup, I'll schedule an easy non-conference schedule just to guarentee that this happens. |

2016/17 Recruiting Preview
We have 4 scholarships. We're losing: C JR Keller - 76 OVR - Starter PG Michel Murphy - 76 OVR - Starter PG David Mendoza - 74 OVR - Backup SG Shawn Garcia - 71 OVR - Backup Looking ahead to next season, we graduate Bright and Grundy. Needs/Goals I can go ahead and pencil in 4 of the 5 slots in next years starting lineup: PG McCully, SG ??, SF Santiago, PF Bright, C Grundy Bright and Grundy will be seniors and I don't know who my SG will be. That pretty much dictates my needs for me. With 4 scholarships, I need 2 big men, 1 SG, and 1 other guy. SF would make the most sense but I don't have to have a SF. 2 SG's or even SG/PG would be fine if I see a PG with a good set of shooting and defensive skills. I spend the first week sending out a bunch of feelers. Usually by now I've decided who I want based on rating alone but I think as I have a bit more success I have a little more freedom here. Two targets are immediately clear. A 4* PF from Cleveland in the top 100 rates me right up there with any of the big schools (at least for now), and a 4* SG in the top 100 from Tampa does the same. Initial Offers I offer 3 scholarships. 4* SG Quincy Jimenez - Tampa, FL - #92 OVR/#32 SG - I'm unsure on the likelyhood of landing Jimenez. But I *think* we'll learn before the early signing period where we stand pretty well. If Florida State or Auburn wants him, they win. But we've got him to 82% with 4 weeks to go still til signing starts, and my schedule is pretty light. He's coming in for a campus visit this week. 4* PF Bobby Bragg - 6'10" 234 lbs - Columbus, OH - #97 OVR/#15 PF Bragg has us at 84% already and is coming in for a campus visit this week too. We've used two home visits on him already, just one for Jimenez. Bragg being local though I think helps me out, staying near home is his #2 priority(playing time is #1). Pitt and Virginia Tech would be the teams most likely to steal him away. 3* C Stefan Fitch - 6'10" 227 lbs - #143 OVR/#11 C - Anaheim, CA we're going out west here and hoping to woo Fitch away from UNLV and USC. And again we have a fair shot, we have him at 85% early, and he's coming in for a campus visit this week. I haven't offered my 4th scholarship yet and I don't have a strong feel for who it ought to go to. I have a couple local JC players would I could sign easily, but they don't really excite me much. |

Ohio (0-0) vs San Diego (0-0) We're set up with a nice challenge early on. San Diego is rated 80 OVR (79 off/81 def/82 sht/81 reb/80 coach). We are 84 OVR (84 off/82 def/87 sht/88 reb/80 coach). This is the first of two games in our preseason tournament. Scouting PG Ross Callier – JR – 70 OVR - 88 speed/81 quickness. 78 defense(terrible). 84 hands/75 passing. 84 close/76 med/68 3. 82 off the dribble. Averaged 5.7 ppg/4.6 apg last year. Seems like he can score if he attacks the basket but not a big threat from outside. SG WB Appleby – JR – 74 OVR - 87 speed/86 quickness. 81 defense, just C+ for a PG. 86 close/75 med/79 3/74 off the dribble/80 in traffic. 81 hustle, the whole team hustles apparently. Scored 7 ppg last year. Seems like a slasher but not a guy who will shoot a lot of jumpers. SF D'Marr Minnieweather – SR – 75 OVR – 6'6”, maxxed experience, he's been starting for awhile. 84 speed/72 quickness. 81 defense. 84 close/73 med/66 3/73 off the dribble/73 in traffic. C/C+ physical skills excpet 81 hustle(B). He doesn't look like a guy that can create his own shot. He did score 11 ppg last year though. PF Bradley Mullins – SR – 75 OVR – 6'8”, 79 orb/81 drb, C+ for both. 84 post offense/62 post defense. 89 close/87 in traffic. 81 blocked shot rating, so he'll be hard to go up against. 70 str (B) and 88 hustle(B+) are solid. Started 8 games last year and averaged about 8 ppg. C Kordel Lewis – SO – 73 OVR – 6'11”, 80 orb/81 drb. 67 post offense/84 post defense. 78 blocked shot,quite good. 85 close/84 in traffic. 81 strength, very strong. 6.6 ppg as a freshman last year. They have 8 guys rated 70-75 and a few more in the 65-70 range. They seem like a deep, balanced team. In theory it seems we matchup well with them, Minnieweather is their best returning scorer but Appleby and Callier don't seem the types that usually torch us. Our team unity starts a bit low this year, 40. Theirs is 44.
This team is going to be very, very good. Ohio 91 San Diego 69 Their SG, Appleby had 22, Minnieweather 15. We shoot nearly 60%, 9-18 from 3. Murphy: 13 points/3 steals McCully: 14 points/5 steals Santiago: 26 points Bright: 7 points/15 boards Keller: 6 points/6 boards Northcutt: 7 points Grundy: 6 points/4 boards Now San Diego didn't have the best defenders out there that we'll face, but the speed that McCully has, the blowby moves that McCully and Santiago have, and Santiago and Murphy's 3 point shooting abilities... I expect to see a lot of lines like this this season. Last edited by Radii : 04-05-2009 at 05:11 AM. |

Huh, the team we expected to face if we won is not there. We have 3 games between now and the early signing period. none of them are against teams rated above 70. I'll sim them so I can get to the signing period ASAP. OH! I'm in the preseason NIT. I had no idea this was how it was structured. 4 groups, winner of each group goes to new york city. I get it now :P
Nov 4, 2016 Ohio 84 Alabama A&M 73 Keller scores 17 and grabs 12 boards. Grundy has 13, McCully 10, Santiago 7. Also, I didn't realize how this tournament worked. Winning our little group feeds us into another group the next week. We're going to be playing 80 OVR rated SMU. After that, we'll be playing either Kent State out of our own conference, or Vanderbilt out of the SEC. Vandy is rated 81 OVR/Kent State 80. I'm definitely playing out those two games, will be a great early challenge for us. In a recruiting update, this might turn into a disaster... the 3* Center out west, UNLV has made an offer to. We still seem like we can get him to 100% before the signing period so we'll take our shot but expect to lose out. The local 4* PF has gotten an offer from pittsburgh. He does not list a big school in any of his top 3 priorities. He wants playing time, close to home, and feeling wanted. Geographically, Pittsburgh looks closer than Athens to Cleveland, so I dunno if that is distance based or state based. But anyway, we can gethim to 100% too most likely so we're going to try. The 4* SG we'veoffered it seems unlikely we'll get him to 100% but no one else has offered. I also offer a scholarship to a JC SF, Brendon okosa. He's from Cincinnati and Marshall is coming after him. He seems someone who is decent and could give us some better depth than Snowden offers at the position for a couple years. And with 4 scholarships it would feel good to land someone early, even if not a top target. If we lose out on all 3 of our top targets things will get real interesting... just getting 1 of the 3 would be worth the effort. I want to play out the preseason NIT so no more recruiting news until later when those games are done. |

Ohio (2-0) vs SMU (2-0) In the semifinals of the preseason NIT in MSG, we get a similarly rated SMU team. They're 80 OVR (81 offense/79 def/82 sht/83 reb/85 coach). In their first two games to get to New York, they scored 80 vs Tennessee State and 110 vs Vermont. Scouting PG Don Allison – SO – 66 OVR – 85 speed/81 quickness, neither is very good. 77 defense/63 steals, both very average. 86 handling/75 passing, both average. 77 close/74 med/70 3/82 off the dribble. He can score but isn't a big threat to do so unless left unguarded. 5 ppg/2 apg so far this year. Only played 8 minutes/game as a freshman, not very experienced. SG Shema Sanders – SR – 80 OVR – a natural SF, but rated so highly he has to get out on the floor. 84 speed/81 quickness. 81 defense. 88 close/76 med/69 3/89 in traffic. Also good athlete skills (80 vert/72 str/82 hustle). He'll be a big scoring threat but putting a SF at SG might allow McCully to run wild. 12 ppg last year and 14.5 so far this year. SF Steveroy Adams – JR – 83 OVR – 80 speed/78 quickness, about average for a SF (he's 6'7”). 83 defense which is very good for a SF. 71 steals too. 91 close/81 med/70 3, 84 in traffic/78 off the dribble, he looks like a slasher that can attack the basket hard. 80 vert/70 str/72 hustle. 11.8 ppg last year, 12.5 so far in 2 games this year. PF Harry Maxwell – SO – 77 OVR – Their 3rd natural SF in the lineup – 72 orb/70 drb, not good. 67 post offense/76 post defense. 84 close/87 in traffic. He has a decent midrange shot. Only 6'5” he is more of a SF. He is not a 3 point threat though so we don't have to worry about him dragigng Bright out behind the arc. 16.5 ppg so far this year. Only averaged 5 as a freshman. C Zach Echols – JR – 67 OVR – 6'10” and not a SF, a nice change for this roster. 80 org/76 drb. 78 post offense/70 post defense. 86 close/77 in traffic. He doesn't look like a big threat, and we ought to destroy these guys on the boards. 15 ppg so far this year. He's a JC transfer so this is his first season. They have 8 guys rated 70-75 and a few more in the 65-70 range. They seem like a deep, balanced team. In theory it seems we matchup well with them, Minnieweather is their best returning scorer but Appleby and Callier don't seem the types that usually torch us. They only have 5 guys rated over 70 and a few more in the mid-60s. But, we've lost to teams like this before where we seem to have a talent edge but they have one or two very good players. Echols isn't much of a defender but he has good post offense ratings, so I do expect to win but worry that Sanders/Adams/Echols could provide a lot of offense for SMU.
They miss again and concede the game, we run the final 30 off the clock after scoring the final 9 points of the game. Ohio 73 SMU 64 Their backup SF Taylor finishes with 17, just 5 in the second half. Adams with 11 and Sanders 8, their two talented players got some points but not as many as I expected. Murphy: 17 points/4 assists (5-12 from 3) McCully: 9 points/4 boards Santiago: 23 points/4 boards (5-12 from 3 also) Bright: 2 points/12 boards Keller: 5 points/3 boards Mendoza: 8 points We shoot 13-32 from 3, 25-53 from the field for hte game. McCully was good in transition when we could run, but he was near useless against their 2-3 zone since I'd rather launch 3's with Murphy and Santiago or go to a post player. |

I forgot ot mention, I upped my injury sliders at the start of the season to the same level that EF27 did recently. I had increased mine but nearly as much, and had not seen any difference at all(albeit over a small sample size).

Ohio (3-0) vs Kent State (4-0) We get a conference opponent in the finals of the preseason NIT. This is my fault, not the game's, as I inserted myself into this tournament in scheduling, I wasn't automatically picked for it. I guess its the game's fault for letting me. Kent State has early wins over St John's and Vanderbilt and appears likely to be our top competition in the MAC this season. They return 4 starters including Logan Montgomery, best player in the league according to the conference preview stuff. All four returning starters are seniors. They are a very experienced bunch. We played them last year at the end of the season and even with Montgomery injured they spent the game in a 2-3 zone and we couldn't shoot over it and lost by 18. We did beat them 2 out of 3 times though and hope to have an edge here today. Scouting PG R. Parsons – SR – 73 OVR – 87 speed/81 quickness. Outstanding defender(88), not a steals guy so that's good. 79 close/76 med/73 3, not great but can't leave him open. 83 off the dribble. 14 ppg. Parsons has become a very good ball handler(89, B rating for a PG, but we don't see that often in the MAC). SG Theodore Holland – SR – 75 OVR – A 3 point shooting specialist, rated 87 from behind the arc. He doesn't look to do much else. 82 defense. 7.8 ppg. SF Logan Montgomery – SR – 82 OVR – 83 speed/83 quickness, good for a SF. 84 vertical/81 hustle, both exceptional. 79 defensive awareness, almost unheard of for this level. Good defense for a SF(84), 87 close/75 med/81 3, 80 off the dribble, 90 in traffic. 14 ppg so far this season. PF Dominick Bowden – JR – 71 OVR – 6'8”. 83 orb/80 drb, not bad at all. 73 post off/78 post defense. Maye and Bowden combine to form a very formidable defensive front line. 81 close/86 in traffic. 9 ppg/7.5 rpg so far. C Roburt Maye – SR – 72 OVR – 7'1”, a good defensive rebounder(86) but terrible on the offensive glass(72). 71 post offense/78 post d. 87 close/86 in traffic. 11.5 ppg/5.3 rpg. They go 9 deep with players rated over 65 OVR. They have two 6'10 bench players, nota ton of talent but good size inside. Their primary scoring threat off the bench is SG Ellis Laws, he's burned us for 3's many times in the past. They do have a giant unity edge, 65-47.
They miss one more shot, we make 2 more free throws and seal the game. This is the second game in a row where we made huge plays in the final two minutes of a tie game to earn the win, I'm very very pleased with this. Ohio 91 Kent State 84 We win the preseason NIT, beating 3 teams rated 80 or better in the process!! Montgomery had an outstanding game for them, 27 points on 10-18 shooting. If he's like this most nights he's a shoe in to win the MAC player of the year award. I wonder if we have to play these guys on the road this year. Parsons hit a couple big shots down the stretch, and Maye was solid in the post, scoring 13/12 boards on 6-9 shooting. Murphy: 6 points/7 assists (2-6 from 3, both in the final minutes and both hugely clutch). McCully: 24 points Santiago: 24 points (5-12 from 3) Bright: 10 points/18 boards Keller: 5 points/1 board Mendoza: 8 points Northcutt: 7 points The loss of Grundy hurts us bad. After Keller's performance in the last couple games I would be benching him for Grundy at this point, Keller has been awful in the starting lineup. Last edited by Radii : 04-05-2009 at 07:07 PM. |

Out of necessity now(and maybe for the best anyway in the end), I remove the redshirt on freshman big man Darryl Withers. Grundy is out for 42 days with his broken ankle.
I update my lineups and depth charts to put Withers in Grundy's old spot, no other changes. When Grundy is back he may start at center and Keller will come off the bench, or I may just put both my 7 footers out there with the backups, it mostly depends on how Keller does over this next month. I sim my next two games to get us to the early signing period: Nov 14 at Ohio 88 E. Tennessee State 48 Murphy 21, Keller 19, Santiago 16, Mendoza 10 as we blow out a bad team. Next up is another terrible team. Nov 19, 2016 at Ohio 68 Binghamton 40 Santiago 16, Keller 12, Bright 10, Murphy 11. We're 6-0 with no games in the final week leading up to the signing period. There are no mid majors in either top 25 poll. Here's the first mid-major poll I've bothered to look at: 1. Nevada (7-0) 2. Ohio (6-0) 3. Arkansas State (4-1) 4. Pepperdine (5-1) 5. Kent State (6-1) Ball State is 15th, Eastern Michigan is 25th. |

Early Signing Period
I think we're leaning more towards disaster than big rewards here, but we'll see. On the last day before this starts: 3* C Stefan Fitch - This is the only guy we have at 100%. However, UNLV has him at 100% too and we've both offered him. He'll likely sign right away, and given that he's from California UNLV seems more likely. 4* PF Bobby Bragg - Pitt offered him a scholarship and they appear to have him at 100%. We have him at 98%. I expect to lose him to Pitt. 3* JC SF Brendon Okosa - Marshall has offered him as well. We havehim at 97% and he's coming in for a campus visit tomorrow. If the campus visit is processed before signing's we will have him at 100% and have a real shot. We'll see. 4* PG Quincy Jimenez - We have him at 94%. I don't think there's anything we can do to get him to 100% before the end of next week. FSU is right up there but hasn't made him an offer. There's a real chance we lose all four of these guys this week. I'm pretty worried.... and, lets sim to the next day and cross our fingers. 4* PF Bobby Bragg signs with Pittsburgh. 3* C Stefan Fitch signs with UNLV. That was our most likely signing, that's rough. 3* SF Brendon Okosa signs with Marshall. Strikeout. wooboy. That's going to make the rest of this recruiting season interesting. And to be clear, I mean trainwreck interesting, not exciting interesting. Some good news, 4* SG Quincy Jimenez drops FSU down a bit, I assume they signed someone else at SG which would cause him to take a hit. That doesn't mean they won't offer him also and screw us. We've got him at 94%. He'll get to 100% by the end of the season, but not by the end of the week. So lets talk backup targets: 6'10" C, a JC FR, Bernell Roberts has a scholarship offer from UNC Asheville, but he is from Columbus, OH and wants to stay close to home. We're on the same level as UNC-A without a single visit or a scholarship offer. Looks like its our turn to steal someone away. roberts isn't a stud but he is an above average rebounder. I haven't scouted him enough to see if he is a scoring threat or not, but the rebounding alone is enough to pursue. The scholarship offer jumps him from 84% to 94%, a call to 95% and we're visiting him. Seems promising. 3* PG Brad Buggs - Buggs is from Texas, he doesn't care a lot about staying close to home, but our competition here is Texas and Texas Tech. I guess the thing we most have going for us is that Buggs is the #32 PG in the nation and there's a reasonable chance that those schools will ignore him and go after higher rated targets. 3* PF Zachary Hogan - 6'11" and the #285 recruit in the nation, #45 PF. He looks pretty damn exciting actually, B- ORB/B DRB, C+ Close range shot, B Shot blocking. He has no offers yet and we would appear to be right in the mix with Evansville, Middle Tennesee State, Western Kentucky and Georgia State. He is from Nashville 4* SG Jeremie Nava - #88 OVR/#30 SG. A long shot, but only Oklahoma State has shown any interest and they haven't made him an offer yet. I offer my scholarship to him but am not going to make him a priority for visits(which is going to be an issue with 3 new targets to try to woo...), but rather I'm going to work on him slowly, visit when I have time/have used up visits on the other guys, and be there at the end if Oklahoma State never comes calling. I don't really have a great feel for my odds with these guys. First lets get through this week and see if anything else happens at the end of the signing period. November 28, 2016 at Ohio 86 Montana State 61 Another bad team, Bright with 16, Keller with 10, Murphy with 14, Mendoza 12. I can't quite finish the week right away, because the day before the week ends is our best shot ever to try to punch a ticket into the media and coaches top 25. We're 7-0 and travelling to #18 Syracuse. It'll be a tough game we expect to lose, but if we can find a way to win, we're sure to earn a ranking finally. |

As I sim to Saturday, we visit JC Center Bernell Roberts. That jumps him up to 100% interest in us. We've fully scouted him out now and he's not the most impressive recruit in the world. C- close range shot, C- post offense, but C post defense, C+ defensive rebounding, B- str and B hustle. Seems like he's a likely candidate to sign with Ohio this week. I'd really, really like that, it would make going after our other 2 new scholarship offers and trying to maintain some kind of backup targets for them more feasible.

Ohio (7-0) at #18 Syracuse (7-1) We've only played a few ranked teams before, and we've never beaten one. Syracuse's roster strength is superior in every way to ours. 89 OVR (90 off/89 def/93 sht/88 reb/90 coach). Boeheim retired awhile back so this is a new guy. Their only loss is to NC State(a final four team last year). They won a road game at Kansas State for what looks like their biggest win. Scouting PG Jabahri Nengsu – SR – 85 OVR – 91 speed/92 quickness. 81 defense/88 steals(B+, very very high). 89 hands/92 passing, a very high quality PG. 81 close/82 med/79 3, 82 off the dribble. 10.4 ppg so far this year. SG Johnnie Videnov – JR – 88 OVR – Freshman all american 2 years ago, first team all big east last year. Averaging 19.1 ppg so far this year, we'll consider ourselves lucky if that's all he gets today. 93 speed/84 quickness. 84 defense. 98 close/83 med/81 3. 86 off the dribble/84 in traffic, a great dunker and leaper as well. 74 steals/82 defensive awareness, he'll be tough to play against. He has super high driving and 3 point tendencies so he's going to be shooting a lot. 98 close range is amazing, A+, and he could foul out all our big men if he decides to attack consistently. SF Hilton Keeler – SO – 82 OVR – a natural SG, this is a guard heavy team. 87 speed/78 quicknes. 86 defense is very high, 91 steals is scary. 89 close/81 med/86 3/87 off the dribble, a sharpshooter, he hasn't developed into a major threat like Videnov yet but he'll kill us any time he's open. Just 8 ppg so far. PF Grant Greenleaf – SO – 82 OVR – a 7 foot tall talent, scary also. 83 orb/80 drb. 85 post offense/81 post defense. 91 shot blocking(A). 89 close/87 in traffic, a good dunker. 12.1 ppg/5.8 rpg. C Jose Diggs – FR – 71 OVR - Just 6'8”, 77 orb/81 drb. 84 post offense/79 post defense. 84 close/84 in traffic. He'll be good but he's raw now. 5.0 ppg/3.8 rpg so far this year. Syracuse has about 6 guards on their bench who would start over anyone i've got. They're not deep inside, but they are incredibly deep at PG/SG/SF. Seems like our best strategy here is the same we used against Duke and Texas Tech. Try to slow the game down, drive and attack when we can, and pray that we're hitting our 3's. Really, all we have to do is beat the #18 team in the country, a team starting 4 players better than anyone on our roster, in front of 33,000 fans of their team. No problem.
They score the next 10 in a row against our backups and I concede. #18 Syracuse 91 Ohio 63 Videnov ends up with 30 for them, Greenleaf 14, Keller 12. Videnov seems all american caliber. Murphy: 7 points McCully: 2 points Santiago: 25 points Bright: 8 points/6 boards Keller: 4 points Mendoza: 7 points Garcia: 7 points Santiago is the only scorer we have that can compete at this level right now. Murphy could have had us right in the game at the half and changed things competely, but he just couldn't come through. |

End of in-season recruiting
Oklahoma State decided to offer 4* SG Jeremie Nava and he signs immediately. Glad they got that over with early. 3* JC C Bernell Roberts signs with OHIO. So that's 1 down, and its a very unexciting 1,but it is a 6'10" big man who appears to have above average talent on the boards. That leaves us with 3 offers out there that we'll continue working on til the end of the season, the 4* SG that we've had our eye on from the start and our two new backup targets, PF Hogan and PG Buggs. oh fuck me. Kent State is #23 in the coaches poll this week. They're 10-1, no marquee wins or anything, just 10-1. The newest mid-major poll: 1. Nevada 2. Pepperdine 3. Ohio 4. Kent State 5. Arkansas St Bowling Green #14, Miami OH #25. Our other really big test comes next. At Boston College. They aren't as menacing as Syracuse but they are rated higher than us and it is on the road. |

Ohio (7-1) at Boston College (4-3) Al Skinner remains at BC and has 523 wins now. BC is rated 87 OVR (88 off/85 def/89 sht/92 reb/93 coach). They score less and shoot worse than Syracuse. Hopefully there's room here for us to make it a game. Their 3 losses are at #23 Michigan State, at Arkansas, and at #1 Florida(that was a 70-44 loss). Their best win is a 4 point escape over Umass. Other wins are against teams of the caliber of 0-7 Stetson and 1-6 Wiston Salem State. They start 3 young guys with 2 or less bars of experience, but their SG Vernon Johnson is a coach on the floor and will give them a huge lift. Scouting PG SR Jakob Allison – SR – 84 OVR – 93 speed/86 quickness/89 vert/71 str (B for a PG), a very very athletic guy. 90 handling/93 passing, also super high quality. 89 defense, 74 steals. 84 close/76 med/73 3/88 off the dribble/76 in traffic. 8 ppg so far this year, for this lower scoring team that is 2nd in scoring. SG Vernon Johnson – SR – 83 OVR - Leads the team with only 9 ppg. 87 speed/89 quickness. 83 defense/85 steals, tough to play against. 93 close/77 med/77 3/85 off the dribble/85 in traffic. All those numbers are outstanding, he's 6'6” and has both awareness numbers over 80. If we play a higher scoring game he'll score a heck of a lot more than 9. SF Rubeen Byfield – SO – 79 OVR – natural SG, 6'4”. 86 defense/78 steals, both good. 87 close/81 med/73 3. Great off the dribble and in traffic. This kid has A- potential and looks great for a sophomore. 7.9 ppg, 3rd on the team. PF Maynard McGrain – FR – 77 OVR – 85 orb/75 drb. 6'7 only. 81 post offense/69 post defense. 77 blocked shot rating, very high. 90 close/91 in traffic. McGrain is only a 3 star recruit, incredibly talented. He was #107 ovr last year, one of the top 3 star recruits, if not the top. 6.9 ppg. He's poor defensively but his shot blocking might make up for that. C Erroyl Snow – SO – 77 OVR – 85 orb/80 drb, solid rebound ratings for this 6'10” center. 85 post offense/73 post d. 73 blocked shot rating and 72 steals(A- for steals for a center). 92 close/90 in traffic. A major scoring threat. 7.5 ppg/4 rpg. Johnson is very good but not a bona fide superstar like Syracuse had. They have great balance though, 5 backups rated 70-75. 3 of their backups are decent shooting threats. This is a team that it is a bit more likely we can compete with. A win over a major conference school would really help this year.
We do get it down to 9 again at one point but they have too much free throw shooting and too much offensive rebounding for us to really make a move. Boston College 77 Ohio 64 Stat of the game: Boston College 15 offensive boards, Ohio 6. They win the rebounding battle 31-22 overall. They shoot 50% while we shoot 39%. We go 7/26 from 3. Vernon Johnson scores 28 for BC. Snow, their center, scores 14. Murphy: 4 points (1-9 from 3, dammit) McCully: 0 points Santiago: 21 points (6-12 from 3) Bright: 4 points/5 boards Keller: 7 points/7 boards Mendoza: 16 points |

After the game I learn that Bright is out 28 days with a strained achilles. Grundy is still out 18 more days. We're in some trouble.

I sim our next game.
Dec 10, 2016 at Ohio 82 Detroit 81 Well that was close. McCully 18, Mendoza 15, Barker (backup PG) 12, that doesn't happen often. Our next two games we expect to win as well. Dec 17, 2016 Ohio 73 at Valparaiso 64 Keller puts up 17 today, Santiago 18 in our win. this makes us 9-2 and takes us to the week of Dec 19. Still no mid-majors in the media top 25, but Kent State is still 23rd in the Coaches poll, they're 12-1. Mid Major Poll: 1. Kent State (12-1) 2. Nevada (11-2) 3. Pepperdine (10-2) 4. Ohio (9-2) 5. Middle Tennessee State (9-1) Ball State #12, Bowling Green #16 Seriously, #1 mid major?? haha I don't believe it. Kent State has the #1 RPI in the nation. They have wins over such national powers as UAB, Marshall, and Southern Illinois (seriously those are their 3 best wins... those aren't bad wins, mind you, but come on). I know the RPI resets and looks more normal in January but meh. I sim one more easy win before getting back to tougher competition. Dec 20, 2016 at Ohio 89 NC A&T 54 Keller 17, Withers 15, Murphy 11. We have 3 non-conference games left. We play New Orleans, rated 81 OVR, Duqesne, rated 78 overall. We then play Northern Illinois to open our conference schedule, and then one final mid-major clash before conference play gets in full swing, as perennial top 5 mid major Nevada will come visit Ohio.

My 360 froze last night when I was done playing, luckily I save frequently and only had to re-sim the NC A&T game. We win this time around 86-65, getting 15 from Santiago and 12 from Murphy.

New Orleans (4-5) at Ohio (10-2) New Orleans has had some issues and hopefully we'll continue to make things tough on them. They're rated 81 OVR (80 off/80 def/83 sht/83 reb/80 coach). With Grundy in our starting lineup instead of Bright, our ratings drop slightly (83 ovr/83 off/81 def/86 sht/88 reb/80 coach). Their losses really aren't good ones, saint mary's is decent, but UCF, Denver, and Drake are all fairly bad teams. They have beaten a solid Portland team. I played New Orleans a few years ago, don't remember much about them but they had a really good freshman who is now an amazing senior. Scouting PG Dermie Bigelow – JR – 75 OVR – 89 speed/86 quickness, 83 defense/75 steals. 80 close/83 med/79 3/80 off the dribble. He looks like most PG's we face these days, he can hurt us with his shot as much as anything, his defense and speed are good but not overwhelming. 8 ppg/4.3 assists. SG Smackey Davis – SR – 87 OVR – Davis was the #28 recruit in the nation 4 years ago and has developed very nicely. First team all sun-belt last year. 92 speed/84 quickness, 88 defense/77 steals. 90 close/91 med/79 3/81 off the dribble, looks deadly. He's a great athlete, exceptional vertical, hustle and strength. 17.3 ppg so far this year. SF Raef Beeler – JR – 74 OVR – 84 speed/75 quickness, 77 defense/70 steals. 83 close/71 med/76 3. Not much stands out here other than he can hit the 3 if left open. His quickness and poor defense makes me feel good about Santiago's numbers today. 8.8 ppg. PF Alton Bone – SR – 75 OVR – 6'10” - 84 orb/77 drb. 74 post off/72 post def. 81 close/85 in atrffic. His better ratings are ones I consider more minor... durability, fouls, consistency and the like. He's averaging 10.9 ppg and is someone we'd like to keep off the offensive glass, but doesn't seem like a big threat. C Lavardicus Koffi – FR – 67 OVR – 7'1 – 74 orb/74 drb. 78 post offense/76 post d. 90 close/77 in traffic. That disparity between close range shooting and shooting in traffic is tough to reconcile, no clue what to expect. He's very strong(80) and a good worker (80 hustle). 6.6 ppg. They have a backup big and a couple backup guards rated in the low 70s. Really this team looks quite good, I'm worried about Davis hanging 30 on me today.
We extend the lead to 30 with about 13:30 to go and sim to the end. Ohio 94 New Orleans 67 Their 87 rated SG ends up shooting 3-13 on the day, 1-7 from 3, for 7 points. Outstanding result for us. Koffi, their lowest rated starter by far, a true freshman, scores 23, heh. Murphy: 17 points/3 assists McCully: 13 points/3 assists Santiago: 22 points Grundy: 6 points/9 boards Keller: 10 points/8 boards Mendoza: 12 points Its hard to lose when you shoot over 50% from 3, and that's what we did today, 13-25. Santiago was 6-10. |

For the week of the 26th, no mid-majors in the media poll. Kent State rises to #21 in the coaches poll
Mid Major Poll: 1. Kent State 2. Nevada 3. Pepperdine 4. Ohio 5. MTSU Ball State #12, Bowling Green #20 I rarely bring up recruiting in the middle of the season, but that's because I rarely change targets mid season. The #118 recruit in the nation, PG Brad Buggs out of Texas, has received an offer from Texas Tech. At this point I lost most of the guys I was eyeing as backup targets in the early signing week, so I go and scout out 4 new PG/SG types that don't appear locked into one school yet. I'm itching to play Nevada so I sim our next two. The first isn't really a guarenteed win but looks like one we should take. Dec 28, 2016 at Ohio 92 Duqesne 85 high scoring. Grundy leads us with 17 points/11 boards, Keller 15, McCully 14. And our next game technically opens up conference play, we better win this one. Dec 31 Ohio 103 at N. Illinois 64 Good good. Keller 23, Northcutt 19, Murphy 14. On the injury front though, Mendoza is hurt in this game and will miss about 2 weeks. And going into the first week in january, Kent State enters the MEdia Poll at #21. They're #20 in the coaches poll. Mid Major Poll: 1. Kent State 2. Pepperdine 3. Ohio 4. MTSU 5. Nevada Ball State #14. This sets up our next game. Our final non-conference game of the year, we host the #5 mid major team, consistently one of the top 3 mid majors every year, Nevada. Mendoza is out for another 1 1/2 weeks, but Bright is back. Starting lineup: PG Murphy,SG McCully, SF Santiago, PF Bright, C Keller Backups: PG Barker, SG northcutt, SF Garcia, PF Grundy, C Withers time to go with a 'normal' backup rotation with two big men. |

Nevada (12-4) at Ohio (13-2) Nevada is highly rated, similar to Boston College really. 88 OVR (87 off/87 def/92 sht/87 reb). That worries me because we do often struggle against good shooting teams. Scouting PG Hilton Minnifield – SR – 87 OVR – superstar all the way. 94 speed/85 quickness. 90 defense/75 steals. 93 hands/81 passing. 87 close/84 med/82 3. 87 off the dribble. O-awareness and D-awareness are both 79. 14.7 ppg/3.3 apg so far this year. Minnifield was first team all WAC as a sophomore and junior. This is actually his 5th season, he played 2 games last year, looks like a medical redshirt. SG Kyle Mills – SR – 84 OVR - 92 speed/93 quickness. 86 defese, only 67 steals. Great handles and passing, he's a natural PG actually. 89 close/86 med/86 3, lights out shooting. 15.5 ppg. SF Jake Pawlak – SO – 81 OVR – 6'5”. 87 speed/89 quickness, and Pawlak is a natural SG. 83 defense/94 steals(!!!). 81 close/76 med/77 3, 87 off the dribble. 6.1 ppg, not a big scorer so far. Averaging over 2 steals/game. PF Tyler Minnifield – JR – 73 OVR – 6'7” - 79 orb/75 drb. 77 post offense/73 post defense. 83 close/80 in traffic. Just 1.9 ppg this year, clearly their 5th or worse option. C Aron Odugbela – FR – 79 OVR – 6'8, a natural PF. #33 recruit in the nation last year, 79 for young big man is great. 83 orb/89 drb, better than anything we've got outside of bright. 78 post offense/80 post defense, 77 blocked shot/74 steals, both outstanding. 90 close/86 in traffic. This guy is a stud already. Just 6.1 ppg/5.8 rpg. In 3 years this guy may be a national player of the year candidate. B+ potential, he's going to be a monster. Nevada has 2 backup point gurds that would both start for me, Petkunas and Turak. Petkunas is a big time 3 point threat off the bench. They've got a 7 foot center and another PF rated over 70 backing up the big men. This is a very good, deep team. This is my goal at Ohio. If I don't move up to the next level any time soon, this Nevada team is what I want to build for Ohio.
We kill the clock and pick up a giant win. Ohio 86 Nevada 63 There is one really big difference between Nevada and Boston College/Syracuse/Texas Tech, at least the difference in this game... someone as fast and good with the ball as McCully can drive by most anyone unless they're playing him real loose. Against Syracuse he attacks the basket and just loses the ball, throws up an ugly reverse, or simply misses a tough shot in traffic, maybe his shot is outright blocked... against nevada, he draws a foul or he scores. HUGE difference in the level of play between some of the other top teams and this Nevada team, at least today. Who knows how the game would have gone without the fouls. PG Minnifield played 22 minutes, SG Mills played 15 due to foul trouble. That's their two top scorers playing 10 and 15 minutes less than expected. Pawlak got 16 for them, Odugbela 10 and Petkunas 10, their 3 top scorers. They shot under 50% overall, 3-15 from 3, and 17-20 from the line. We were 24-32 from the line, only 6-22 from 3, we were not shooting well from behind the arc but our aggressive play worked so well it didn't matter. Murphy: 15 points McCully: 12 points/4 assists Santiago: 15 points (3-9 from 3) Bright: 11 points/4 boards Keller: 4 points/6 boards Withers: 9 points/7 boards Huge win for us. Maybe this is the win that gets us into the top 25? |

I go ahead and sim our next game this week, I probably should play it as W. Michigan is one of the higher rated conference opponents(77 OVR) but they're 4-9 and its at home and i'm anxious to get to next week:
Jan 8, 2017 at Ohio 84 W. Michigan 79 Santiago 18,Garcia 16, McCully and Keller 10 each. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo. For the week of January 9th, Ohio has entered the Media poll as the #24 team in the nation!!!! Coaching skill increases are getting harder and harder to come by, this was the next hurdle on the list. Kent State is now 15-1 and up to #19 in the nation, their only loss to us in the preseason NIT finals. We are now 15-2. Kent State is up to #18 in the coaches poll, and we are not represented there. Mid Major Poll: 1. Kent State (15-1) 2. Ohio (15-2) 3. Pepperdine (13-3) 4. MTSU (13-2) 5. Nevada (13-5) Ball State #13, Bowling Green #20. We'll get into our normal rotation of playing out every other MAC game the rest of the way. My expectations at this point are unbelievably high, given our start, the fact that we've already beaten Kent State, and that many MAC teams have fallen off in their ratings a bit... We'll probably lose a couple road games that we shouldn't, but at this point 14-2 in conference play seems reasonable. And anything other than a conference tournament title would be a disappointment. that might be saying a bit much given that we haven't seen many MAC teams yet, we'll see. |

I'm more of a “hang around with a shiteating grin on my face for the next few days” type of guy than a “go set bonfires on Franklin Street”, so expect another late night of college hoops progression.
January 11, 2017 Eastern Michigan (8-6, 2-0 MAC) at #24 Ohio (15-2, 2-0 MAC) Eastern Michigan is rated 77 OVR (77 off/77 def/78 sht/85 reb/75 coach). Their two wins are against two of the worst teams in the league, Central Michigan and Northern Illinois. We played them last year in the MAC semifinals and struggled greatly to pull out a 4 point win. We trailed with 10 minutes left and never did stretch our lead out over 5 in the last 10 minutes of the game. I expect an easier time of things this year, McCully has totally changed our team. However, EMU returns 4 starters from that team and starts 4 seniors and a junior. They are very experienced. Scouting PG Jeremee Alleyne – SR – 68 OVR – 86 speed/83 quickness. 74 defense, godawful. 77 close/68 med/71 3. 79 off the dribble. 81 hands/84 passing... much better passing (C hands/B passing). 9.2 ppg/5.1 apg this year. SG Woody Karis – SR – 75 OVR – 6'5, big for a SG for whatever its worth. 86 speed/84 quickness, 78 defense(very low). 80 close/78 med/76 3. 80 off the dribble/79 in traffic. 82 steals which his solid. 8.9 ppg so far. Karis improved almost none over last year. SF Francis Blankenship – JR – 70 OVR – A rare situation where a team has too many big men and not enough guards/small forwards. 6'8, a natural PF. As such he is slow with awful, awful on ball defense(64). 87 close/67 med/61 3. 79 in traffic. 5.8 ppg, less than he's scored in his last two years as a backup in the post. Santiago is going to have a field day. PF Kentrell Warner –SR – 73 OVR – 6'10”, 82 orb/79 drb, 75 post offense/74 post defense. 83 close/84 in traffic. 12.2 ppg so far this year. C Dameon Archibong – SR – 73 OVR – 6'11” - 76 orb/78 drb, fairly poor(C), 79 post offense/76 post defense. 84 close/82 in traffic. 16.5 ppg so far, which is a lot more than i'd expect from his ratings. They are not a deep team, only 3 backups rated 65+. I remember saying this same thing in the conference semis last year... they are a poor defensive team and don't have any great offensive talent. We ought to kill them.
Very similar to last year's tournament game vs EMU. We get a stop on their next trip and are solid from the line to seal the deal. Ohio 91 Eastern Michigan 81 Like last year, its close for a half, they make a run and we are in a bit of trouble, but we pull through and make the plays we need to when it counts. Though the deficit we faced midway through the second half here was pretty scary. Karis, their star, scores 22. Alleyne 10, and their post players all end up with 6-9 points. They shoot over 50% for the game (33-61), 6-17 from 3. Murphy: 12 points/3 assists/2 steals McCully: 11 points Santiago: 12 points (2-5 from 3) Bright: 7 points/7 boards Keller: 5 points/4 boards Northcutt: 20 points Withers: 9 points Grundy: 8 points/9 boards/3 blocks Northcutt's perfromance really came out of nowhere, that was awesome. |

Next up we travel to play 2 win Central Michigan.
Jan 14, 2017 Ohio 90 at C. Michigan 66 15 from Keller, 12 from Santiago and Garcia, 11 for McCully, 10 for Murphy. heh, i hadn't followed the polls closely in the past, though I've seen the RPI reset a couple times, and this is the "real" RPI that remains consistent through the end of the year. The top 25 poll seems to totally be re-calculated as a result too. We jump from #24 to #15. Duke jumps to #2 from #10, Texas Tech falls from #4 to #24... weird stuff. Anyway, the MAC is getting some serious love. Kent State is #14 in the nation, Ohio #15. Kent State is #15 in the coaches poll and we are unranked there, hah. Mid-Major Poll: 1. Kent State (16-2) 2. Ohio (17-2) 3. MTSU (14-3) 4. Manhattan (14-6) 5. Pepperdine (14-4) Ball State is 13th. In this new RPI we are rated 9th. 2-2 vs the top 50, 2-0 vs 51-100, and undefeated vs 100+. Our next game is against a poor Buffalo team: Jan 17, 2017 at Ohio 88 Buffalo 56 Murphy scores 18, Grundy 13, Northcutt 12, Keller 10. Bad news though, Bright separates his shoulder and will miss 2 weeks of action. Two good games coming up next. First we travel to Miami OH, a team down slightly from recent years but stlil a team that's given us trouble. After that is our only showdown this season with Ball State. |

#15 Ohio (18-2, 5-0 MAC) at Miami OH (11-6, 5-0 MAC) I haven't looked at the standings much this year, hoping that I'll just roll through, but Miami is 5-0, so this game has a lot of meaning. Miami gave Kent State their only conference loss so far. Miami OH is rated 78 OVR (78 off/80 def/82 sht/80 reb). That rebounding rating is extremely low and makes me optimistic. Scouting PG Chas Lemons – FR – 67 OVR – 89 speed/80 quickness. 80 defense/72 steals. 79 hands/76 passing(C-/C+). 79 close/69 med/68 3/78 off the dribble. He'll develop into a decent player but this is pretty weak overall for now. 6.7 ppg/3.4 rpg. SG Stan Victor – SR – 83 OVR – 86 speed/81 quickness. 82 defense/83 steals. 87 close/83 med/88 3. 76 off the dribble/83 in traffic. 13.5 ppg so far this year, the off the dribble rating is good to see. SF Rashad Sharp – JR – 69 OVR – 6'9”. Another PF playing SF. His skills for SF are weak, 67 defense, 83 close/63 med/49 3. 80 in traffic. Good leaper(71) and strength(66). 3.6 ppg, this is a weakness for them.. PF Jarrett McCleod – SR – 80 OVR – 6'9”, 89 orb/80 drb . 83 shot blocker, 75 post D, good vertical, good strength and great hustle. 87 post offense/90 close/86 in traffic. 12.9 ppg/7.5 rpg C Terry Samuel – JR – 74 OVR – 7 feet tall. 80 orb/77 drb. 81 blocks(B). 75 post off/75 post def. 90 close/78 in traffic. 10.7 ppg this year, much improved from only 6 a game as a soph. They only have 3 other players rated over 60. Their two best scorers from last year's team that beat me have graduated, Crandle, a great shooting SG, and Hess, an explosive SF that both killed me repeatedly for 4 years. Victor and McCleod are strong but I feel real good about this matchup. This is a road test so that could present additional problems.
The backups go off, 11-2 run to take a 25 point lead around the 10 minute mark. I go ahead and sim the rest. Ohio 98 Miami OH 60 One of the coolest things i've seen visually towards the end there... Withers tips a pass into the post, its headed out of bounds, Mendoza dives out of bounds and saves it back in right to Withers. Withers turns and hits a streaking Barker past half court, Barker goes in for a dunk. Just very pretty to watch, very smooth. Victor only ends up with 15, we just totally shut them down in the second half. Their Center Samuel with 10, no one else in double figures. Murphy: 7 points/4 assists/3 steals McCully: 16 points Santiago: 28 points (5-10 from 3) Grundy: 8 points/6 boards Keller:8 points/13 boards Mendoza: 13 points |

We drop to #20 in the media poll. mid major poll for the week:
1. Kent State 2. Ohio 3. Manhattan 4. Drexel 5. MTSU Nevada is "down" this year, 6 losses already and only #9 in the mid major poll. Ball State #16, Miami OH #22. Next up, Ball State, not really as good as you'd expect the #16 mid-major team to be(not that you expect greatness... but damn, 30 point losses to Bowling Green, Kent State and Miami each). Revenge game. |

Ball State (13-7, 3-3 MAC) at #20 Ohio (19-2, 6-0 MAC) This isn't the same team that has owned us over the last 2 or 3 seasons. But, its still Ball State. 77 OVR (78 off/76 def/82 sht/85 reb). They return only 1 starter from last year's team, and two backups who are good shooters and whose names I recognize even off the bench in past season(s). Scouting PG Brendan McCarthy – SO – 71 OVR – 86 speed/84 quickness. Poor ball handling(77/D). 78 close/70 med/85 3. Terrible off the dribble, he was better off the bench being set up from 3, we'll see how he does starting. 11.2 ppg/3.1 apg. SG Happy Hoyer – SR – 73 OVR – 86 speed/81 quickness. 84 defense. 85 close/67 med/75 3/78 off the dribble/80 in traffic. Hoyer isn't nearly the starter that Edelin was last year, but he can get hot from 3. 14.1 ppg so far this year, leading the team. SF Fab Minoff – SR – 82 OVR – their 1 returning starter. Minoff has hurt us badly in the past. 82 speed/85 quickness. 85 defense/71 steals. 88 close/83 med/66 3. 86 in traffic, 85 vert/79 hustle, he's good with the ball and attacks the basket hard. 11.9 ppg/7.2 rpg so far this year. PF Max Burns – SO – 67 OVR – Natural SF. 71 orb/71 deb. 61 post offense/74 post defense. 81 close/78 in trafic. Not at all built to play PF. 6 ppg. C Alberto Tyler – SO – 66 OVR - 6'9” PF, 76 orb/75 drb. 69 post off/60 post d. 86 close/83 in traffic. A rather terrible basketball player for this level. 5 ppg/4 rpg. They have a backup PF rated 60 OVR, and a backup PG rated 71. That's it. They're dead.
I call a timeout because the CPU subbed in Barker when McCully fouled out, so I get a TO to set my lineup the way I want it. And... throw the inbounds pass away trying to be sneaky and get a qucik 3 point attempt by Santiago. We foul but they make their Fts and we do not make our 3's. Ball State 90 Ohio 82 So who saw this coming? Pretty much everyone? Yeah.... McCarthy scores 23... 4-6 from 3. Hoyer scores 18. Minoff 26 including 4 3's despite a rating under 70. They're 31-57 from the field. 8-23 from 3(which means they were 23-34 from 2 point range). McCully is wholly ineffective again today. I try to get my bigs going and Grundy does alright, shooting 5-10 inside, but Keller is 2-6. Withers is solid for the backups, 3-3 for 6 points. But we didn't use him enough. Murphy, who has been so good recently in our big wins, lays an egg today, shooting 2-11 from 3. Murphy: 8 points McCully: 6 points Santiago: 29 points Grundy: 10 points/12 boards Keller: 4 points/11 boards Mendoza: 8 points Withers: 6 points |

We sim our next one, a home game vs a 6-14 Akron team.
Jan 28, 2017 at Ohio 77 Akron 53 Santiago 15, Murphy 15, Keller 13 in the win. We fall to #21 in the nation after the loss, not bad. Mid Major #1 is Kent State. Mid MAjor #2 is Ohio. Kent State and Ohio are tied for 1st in the MAC at the halfway point, both teams are 7-1. Our next game? Kent State at Ohio. The winner of this game would be expected to win the MAC. |

#18 Kent State (20-2, 7-1 MAC) at #21 Ohio (20-3, 7-1 MAC) Well our starting PF and highest rated player, Bright, is out for this game... he's back in 1 more day. But we seem to have the edge in the injury department. Both Bowden and Maye, their starting PF and starting C, are out. Our backups are much higher quality inside than theirs too. As long as they have Parsons/Holland/Montgomery they are a scary team to face regardless. But, we do seem to have a slightly bigger edge from the inside game. Scouting PG R. Parsons – SR – 74 OVR – 87 speed/81 quickness. Outstanding defender(89), not a steals guy so that's good. 79 close/76 med/73 3, not great but can't leave him open. 83 off the dribble. 10.5 Parsons has become a very good ball handler(89, B rating for a PG, but we don't see that often in the MAC). SG Theodore Holland – SR – 76 OVR – A 3 point shooting specialist, rated 88 from behind the arc. He doesn't look to do much else. 82 defense. 9.7 ppg. SF Logan Montgomery – SR – 83 OVR – 83 speed/84 quickness, good for a SF. 84 vertical/81 hustle, both exceptional. 79 defensive awareness, almost unheard of for this level. Good defense for a SF(85), 88 close/75 med/81 3, 80 off the dribble, 90 in traffic. 14.5 ppg so far this season. PF Odie Bonfim – SO – 67 OVR – 6'11” - 77 orb/80 drb, 72 post off/67 post def. 82 close/81 in traffic. 2.6 ppg C Jonpaul Withers – FR – 67 OVR – 6'10” - 80 orb/76 drb. 74 post off/68 post def. 82 close/82 in traffic. He'll improve but for now we have an edge over him no matter who we put out there. 2.7 ppg. We have a nice edge inside now, but they still have 4 good scorers, the other 3 starters and backup SG Laws. Montgomery scored 27 the first time we played.
They cut it down to 9 with 4 minutes left... 68-59. We score 5 straight over the next 2 minutes and then run the clock out. Ohio 78 Kent State 61 The matchup was more favorable for us than the first meeting in the preseason NIT, but, we still had to take care of business. The MAC title is now ours to lose. Holland with 17, Montgomery with 13 for them. Their backup PF had a great day with 10 points and 13 boards. Murphy: 6 points McCully: 15 points Santiago: 18 points (4-10 from 3) Grundy: 7 points/11 boards Keller: 10 points/6 boards Northcutt: 9 points Great win!

Next up we travel to Toledo, expecting to win a simmed one easily.
Feb 4, 2017 Ohio 85 at Toledo 64 Santiago 18, Northcutt 14, Murphy 12, Grundy 11. We jump to #17 in the media poll. Kent State falls out of the poll. We're the only mid-major represented now. We still are not in the coaches poll. Mid-Major Poll: 1. Ohio 2. Kent State 3. MTSU 4. Drexel 5. Pepperdine Ball State #12 Next up is a road trip to Bowling Green. They're only 11-10 and 4-6 in MAC play, but they are the highest rated team left on our schedule. |

Lloyd Bright is back from his injury. I get him back into the starting lineup, but do not expect much right away. His confidence is totally shot. A pep talk gets him up to 54%.
February 7, 2017 #17 Ohio (21-3, 9-1 MAC) at Bowling Green (11-10, 4-6 MAC) Bowling Green is rated 79 OVR (77 off/79 def/80 ht/84 reb/84 coach). They've been down lately and I haven't played out a game against them recently so I don't really know these players. Scouting PG Alan Mayes – FR – 67 OVR – 87 speed/82 quicknes. 81 defense, poor steals, poor handles, poor passer. 76 close/71 med/72 3/81 in traffic. Just 4.8 ppg/2.7 apg. Not someone I'm worried about. SG Jean Goss – SR – 82 OVR – 90 speed/84 quicknes/88 vert/79 hustle. All outstanding. 83 defense/77 steals. 93 close/75 med/73 3/81 off the dribble/83 in traffic. 17.7 ppg and he'll shoot/drive from anywhere. He's currently leading the MAC in scoring, 2nd is a full 1.6ppg behind him. SF Lavell Pait – SR – 72 OVR – 80 speed/76 quicknes, average for a SF. 81 defense is good for a SF. 88 close/63 med/64 3. 83 in traffic. Not a threat from outside so he'll be realying on his ability to get the ball inside. 8 ppg/5.4 rpg. PF Jair Watkins – SO – 76 OVR – dual 7 footers. 82 orb/86 drb. 82 post off/75 post def. 87 close/82 in traffic. Watkins was freshman of the year last year and has A- potential. He seems a serious threat to win MAC player of the year before he's done. Not this year... but with that size, talent so far and potential, he'll be amazing his senior year. 10.8 ppg/7.2 rpg this year so far. C Ferdinand Whitehead – JR – 79 OVR – 7 feet tall, always scary to see this talent and 7 foot size paired together. 80 orb/75 drb. 79 post off/83 post def. 89 close/89 in traffic. Great strength(82) hustle (87), dunking, awareness ... the kid can play. 11.1 ppg/6.0 rpg. I expect him to do more against us. Well their starting lineup is pretty damn good. Their big men are flat out better than mine, talent and size is a scary combo. But, they have no depth. They have a 6'9” backup center. That's it. Everyone else off the bench is rated below 60.
“Ethical” dilemma here. They throw the ball away, Keller picks up the loose ball with 39 seconds left... 4 second differential, we're up 1. they're not going to foul, I've run into this onetime before, it seems to occur with 35-40 seconds left on the clock only. Take advantage and run the clock out, or run your offense like normal? I go ahead and run my offense Murphy get a good look with 15 seconds left, he misses. They go down and shoot a 3 with 6 seconds left, no good. Keller rebound, he's fouled, sinks 2 free throws, and we come away with a win. Ohio 82 Bowling Green 79 Their Center had one of the stronger inside performances i've seen from the CPU. 21 points/9 rebounds on 10-16 shooting. Goss was cold, only 10 points(2-8 from 3). Murphy: 10 points/3 assists McCully: 19 points Santiago: 18 points Bright: 3 points/10 boards Keller: 8 points/7 boards Withers: 10 points/5 boards Santiago was 4-12 from 3. Keller was 2-7, rough day. He just seems bad in the post, but these were strong big men inside to go up against. It's the freshman, Withers, who seems to do best with his back to the basket. 5-9 for his 10 points. Last edited by Radii : 04-08-2009 at 01:40 AM. |

We close the week with an easy one against Northern Illinois.
Feb 12, 2017 at Ohio 92 N. Illinois 86 Well then, an easy one that wasn't so easy. NIU rated 70 OVR, 6-18 on the season... whew. Wow. Overtime. They led 47-40 at the half, we win the 2nd half 38-31 and finish them in OT. santiago with 19, Grundy 13, Bright 12... god I would have not been pleased to lose a simmed game to freaking northern illinois. We move up to #15 in the media poll. The coaches poll continues to shun the mid majors. Mid Major Poll: 1. Ohio (24-3) 2. Kent State (21-5) 3. Drexel (20-5) 4. Pepperdine 20-5) 5. UC Irvine (19-5) Ball State is up to #9. With just a few weeks left in the season, bracketology is out. I expect a high seed. And, at this point I appear to be in position to be rewarded with one. Ohio is projected to be a 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament as of right now. Kent State would earn an at large and a 9 seed. Ball State's RPI is 50, they're on the bubble but projected to be out as of now. When they beat Ohio yet again in the MAC tournament I'm sure they'll make it in(god if that happens I will cry). Quick recruiting update: The 4* SG we're going hard after, Jimenez, now has an offer from Central Florida. He has for awhile actually. UCF looks to have him in the 95% range right now with 2 weeks to go. I'm assuming they've used all their visits. It will be interesting to see if they can get him to 100%. And if they do, will he immediately switch over to them and sign or will he favor us. He wants to saty near home and he's from Tampa so I figure we lose him. But our success seems to have an impact and we've had him at 100% since mid-december. We've finally settled our backup target. I had offered a second 3* guard, but after 3 weeks of spending time with him, NC State offered him a scholarship, so I had to drop off there and go to my 3rd attempt to fill that extra guard spot I have open. We're up to 95% on a PG from Oregon in the top 150 overall. He has no other offers yet and we've still got a visit left. Utah might be interested, but they've only got 2 weeks left to offer him. And lastly we're going after a 6'11" PF, #285 who looks to be an outstanding rebounder (B- orb/B drb, I'd expect freshman numbers in the low-mid 80s... 82/85 maybe, with lot of room to grow). because of the clusterfuck going on with our other targets we haven't been able to use all our visits with him til now. He's only at 85%, and he likes Evansville(he's from Tennessee). It seems Evansville will likely decide whether we land him or not. I'll almost certainly go into offseason recruiting with 2 guys at 100% that I will land or lose on day 1. |

going into our next game(against western michigan) I use 2 more pep talks. Another for Bright who is finally back in game shape after his injury, and one for Mendoza who always seems to be in a slow slide.
Barker, backup PG, has a day to day injury. My backups run close enough together though that I am going to sit him. Mendoza at PG, Northcutt SG, Garcia SF, and the two 7 footers for backups. |

#15 Ohio (24-3, 11-1 MAC) at Western Michigan (9-15, 5-7 MAC) This is similar to our last game... a road contest at a team we should beat, but who is not as bad as their record shows and could scare us. WMU is rated 77 OVR (79 off/75 def/78 sht/78 reb/87 coach). With development we have finally gained an overall ratings point on our roster strength page... 85 OVR (85 off/83 def/88 sht/89 reb/80 coach). Probably because we've had an extra scholarship.. and have had to go to multiple backup targets, we've had to use a lot more coaching visits this year, and it seems to have slightly, but noticeably, slowed player development. Scouting PG Shawan Whitaker – SR – 71 OVR – 91 speed/84 quickness. Awful defender, 79 def. 81 close/72 med/66 3. 82 off the dribble which is solid, buthe doesn't seem to have anything else to go with it to make him scary at all. 7.4 ppg nonetheless SG Demetrieus Mayer – JR– 75 OVR - 85 speed/80 quickness, not that good really, C- quickness. 84 defense/79 steals, not bad at all. 89 close/74 med/84 3, 73 off the dribble/74 in traffic. 8 ppg/5.4 rpg. Great shooting but terrible at creating his own shot it would appear. SF LJ Haigler – SO – 70 OVR – 6'7, a larger SF. 79 defese/64 steals. 87 close/73 med/68 3. terrible off the dribble, even more terrible in traffic. 58 defensive awareness... horrible. 6.9 ppg/4.4 rpg. We should own this guy. PF Harrison Mark – JR – 67 OVR – only 6'7”. 66 orb/69 drb... those are SF or even SG numbers. 74 post offense/72 post defense. 82 close/80 in traffic. Laughable, I'm surprised he's not rated wore than 67. 4.6 ppg. He's a JC Transfer so this is his first year. C Cornelio Bernard – SR – 72 OVR – 6'11” 78 orb/83 drb, 79 post off/76 post def. Not much of a shot blocker. Strong, 76 str (B+). 84 close/86 in traffic, which is about average. 11.7 ppg/5.8 rpg, a large increase over last season. They have some decent depth. Backup Center Edwin Christy off the bench scores 10 ppg.
We get the lead up to 25 before the 13 minute mark and I go ahead and sim this one out. Ohio 95 Western Michigan 79 Murphy: 2 points/5 assists McCully: 17 points Santiago: 20 points Bright: 4 points/9 boards Keller: 12 points/7 boards Garcia: 9 points Mendoza, Northcutt and Grundy all score 8 Last edited by Radii : 04-08-2009 at 02:55 AM. |

Next is our simmed game against Central michigan, a terrible 6-17.
Feb 25, 2017 at Ohio 97 Central michigan 75 Keller 19 points/11 boards. Santiago 18, Murphy 11. grundy 14/Northcutt 11 off the bench. Our next game is against 74 rated Buffalo. Final game against 76 rated E. Michigan. We'd normally sim the first, play the second. But if we win the first, or Miami OH loses their game that day, we clinch the MAC regular season title. Assuming we do that, I'm simming the last game too to get into the tournament. Feb 28, 2017 Ohio 84 at Buffalo 62 Santiago 19, Grundy 14, Murphy 11. Easy win. The final day of the regular season we travel to Eastern Michigan, they're not bad so a loss on the road wouldn't surprise me here. Mar 5, 2017 Ohio 76 at E. Michigan 63 Yeah, no losses here. Keller 23 points, Bright 11, Grundy 10. Going into conference tournament week, we are now ranked #14 in the media poll. We remain the only mid-major ranked at all. We finally break into the coaches poll as well, currently ranked #21 there. Mid Major Poll: 1. Ohio (28-3) 2. Kent State (23-7) 3. Pepperdine (25-7) 4. Drexel (23-8) 5. UC Irvine (23-6) Ball State #18, Miami OH finishes the season very strong and is back in at #22. Final MAC Standings 1. Ohio 15-1 2. Miami OH 13-3 3. Kent State 10-6 4. Ball State 10-6 5. Buffalo 9-7 6. W. Michigan 8-8 7. Bowling Green 7-9 8. E. Michigan 6-10 9. Akron 6-10 10. Toledo 5-11 11. C. Michigan 5-11 12. N. Illinois 2-14 MAC First Round 9. Akron 66 8. E. Michigan 62 5. Buffalo 87 12. N. Illinois 42 11. C. Michigan 68 6. W. michigan 58 7. Bowling Green 102 10. Toledo 52 Yes, 102-52. Go Bowling Green? MAC Quarterfinals 1. Ohio 9. Akron 4. Ball State 5. Buffalo 3. Kent State 11. C. Michigan 2. Miami OH 7. Bowling Green Some notes: Kent State's two big men missed a full month of play. They imploded a bit in February, their loss to us was the start of a 2-5 stretch. Losses to Ohio, Buffalo, Ball State, Bowling Green and Miami OH. Miami OH on the other hand, lost to us and then Buffalo 2 games in a row and was 5-2 in the MAC at the time. They finished very strong, going 8-1 in their last 9, including a 13 point win over Bowling Green, a 9 point win over Kent State and a 7 point win on the road at Ball State. Aside from Ball State, Kent State and some road games where the other teams' crowd was up for them to try to beat us, we really just mowed through the MAC. I don't want to gloss over or understate how good this team is or how strong this season has been. We are 15-1 in MAC play. Our only loss was a close contest against our nemesis, Ball State. We are 28-3 overall. Our only non conference losses were at Syracuse, a team that is 26-4 themselves and in the top 10, a team with a very real shot at a 1 seed... and Boston College, not nearly as strong but still a respectable ACC School with a top 100 RPI. I'll repeat that b/c it is pretty cool to type out. We are 28-3 entering the postseason. Now, to go kill Akron and shamelessly root against Ball State. I'm fine with winning the MAC without seeing them again |

March 9, 2017 - MAC Quarterfinals
(1) Ohio (28-3, 15-1 MAC) vs (9) Akron (10-20, 6-10 MAC) Well, Akron was rated 77 or so when I simmed a game against them earlier in the year I believe. Though it was in the same 2 game cycle where we faced Ball State so it was getting simmed anyway... but damn, they have improved, or had an injury or something. Akron: 80 OVR (80 off/80 def/81 sht/77 reb/86 coach). 77 rebounding is always nice to see in an opponent. Scouting PG Toby Warner – SR – 80 OVR – 96 speed/90 quickness(wow). 88 defene/74 steals. 85 hands/88 passing(real good). 84 close/76 med/78 3/83 off the dribble. 73 clutch if it comes down to the end too. 11.5 ppg/4.5 apg. SG Godwin Washburn – FR – 75 OVR – 87 speed/80 quickness. 85 defense/80 steals... 92 close/78 med/71 3. 84 off the dribble/76 in traffic. Well, we need to keep him away from the rim no matter what. Just 7.5 ppg this year so far. Only C- potential but still 75 as a freshman with some great skills... he's going to be good. SF Curry Bouma – SR – 79 OVR – 6'6” - great rebounding for a SF. 83 drb. 76 post off/73 post def. 86 close/72 med/71 3/81 off the dribble/87 in traffic. 85 vertical and strong as well. 11.5 ppg/4.9 rpg. PF Shema Day – JR – 72 OVR – 6'8” - 75 orb/71 drb, awful. 73 post off/73 post def, not very good. 90 close/82 in traffic. 79 mid range so he can step out and hit jumpers too. 7.6 ppg/4.5 rpg. C Esmond Jolly – SO – 69 OVR – Yes, Esmond. Not Desmond. 69 orb/82 drb. Average on the defensive glass. Only 6'8”. 77 post off/79 post def. 81 close/79 in traffic. Seems very weak. 5.9 ppg/4.6 rpg. They only have these 4 starters rated over 70, but they do go 8 deep rated 65+. Their backups don't seem that skilled though, the big men aren't any beter on the boards, and the guards aren't good shooters. Warner/Washburn/Bouma though... that's a very tough combo. They run a 2-3 defense and that has given us fits if we're not shooting well.
We score 5 more in a row and in the interest of playing Ball State right now if they win I sim the rest. Ohio 97 Akron 63 Murphy: 17 points/5 assists McCully: 15 points Santiago: 18 points (1-8 from 3) Bright: 8 points/9 boards Keller: 14 points/9 boards Northcutt with 14 off the bench. Grundy: 9 points/9 boards |

March 10, 2017 – MAC Semifinals
(1) Ohio (29-3, 15-1 MAC) vs (4) Ball State (21-10, 10-6 MAC) With a few losses Ball State's RPI is down to 71 and they have fallen off the bubble. If they want to go dancing they need to win the tournament. Scouting PG Brendan McCarthy – SO – 72 OVR – 86 speed/84 quickness. Poor ball handling(77/D). 78 close/70 med/85 3. Terrible off the dribble, he was better off the bench being set up from 3, we'll see how he does starting. 11.2 ppg/3.1 apg. SG Happy Hoyer – SR – 74 OVR – 86 speed/81 quickness. 84 defense. 85 close/67 med/75 3/78 off the dribble/80 in traffic. Hoyer isn't nearly the starter that Edelin was last year, but he can get hot from 3. 14.1 ppg so far this year, leading the team. SF Fab Minoff – SR – 83 OVR – their 1 returning starter. Minoff has hurt us badly in the past. 82 speed/85 quickness. 85 defense/71 steals. 88 close/83 med/66 3. 86 in traffic, 85 vert/79 hustle, he's good with the ball and attacks the basket hard. 11.9 ppg/7.2 rpg so far this year. PF Max Burns – SO – 68 OVR – Natural SF. 71 orb/71 deb. 61 post offense/74 post defense. 81 close/78 in trafic. Not at all built to play PF. 6 ppg. C Alberto Tyler – SO – 67 OVR - 6'9” PF, 76 orb/75 drb. 69 post off/60 post d. 86 close/83 in traffic. A rather terrible basketball player for this level. 5 ppg/4 rpg. The last time we met, we led by 10 on two different occasions, 41-31 with 4 minutes left in the half and 51-41 early in the second half. It took most of the second half but they took the lead with about 6 minutes left. We led with 2:10 left, they took the lead around the 1 minute mark, and we blew it with a turnover with 45 seconds left and let them sink free throws to beat us. It was their backcourt again. Minoff, Hoyer and McCarthy all scored between 18 and 26 points. We have to slow down their scorers today. Also, McCully was worthless against their 3-2 zone. He couldn't draw fouls when he got to the basket. There are holes in the middle of that 3-2 defense, if I can get McCully set up right he's got an 89 mid-range rating.
So remember a couple seasons ago I had an incredible game where House made everything for a full 40 minutes and scored 48? Yeah, it turns out its not fun when the guy doing that is on the other team. Ball State 96 Ohio 78 They graduated two great players last year but it turns out they didn't matter. They were just secondary options behind this SF. SF Minoff: 17-21 FG, 6-8 FG, 5-7 FT. 45 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 1 blocked shot. I mean, I'm tired of losing to Ball State, really. I can't believe I have all this talent, might get a 3 or a 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament, and cannot beat this team. But today... I don't think I can complain. I just had a guy hang 45 on me. I just had a guy with a 69 3 point rating AFTER confidence boost in game shoot 6-8 from 3. That's just not beatable. No way no how. McCarthy had 12 and Hoyer 15 to supplement Minoff. There is some good news here. Minoff is a senior. I never have to face him again. Murphy: 0 points (0-8 shooting) McCully: 8 points Santiago: 19 points (4-14 from 3) Bright: 4 points Keller: 3 points Mendoza: 12 points Northcutt: 26 points I really have no explanation as to why Northcutt put up 26 points and I could only manage 8 from McCully. |

Ohio is listed as a 3 seed in the final Bracketology. Ball State is projected to be a 12 seed. Kent State(25-8) is projected in as a 10 seed. 3 teams in the tournament for this conference after being a poor 1 bid conference when I joined is an imipressive thought. Kent State is a bubble team though.
NCAA Selection We're #14 in the final poll. Bubble teams Kent State is listed here. Drexel, Utah State also make the list from mid-majors. Washington State and Rutgers are listed here with 19 wins and 13 losses each. 1 seeds: East: Texas Tech South: Texas A&M Midwest: Clemson West: Syracuse hey hey, I lost to a 1 seed this year. EAST Region 1. Texas Tech Mid major powerhouse Pepperdine is the 9 seed here, playing BYU. Duke and UCLA set up to meet in round two, 3 seed/6 seed. Kent State is in! South Florida is #7 here, Kent State #10. West Virginia is the 2 seed here. South Region 1. Texas A&M mid major powerhouse Nevada is a 9 seed here, playing St Joseph's. Bubble team Rutgers is the 11 seed here, playing Indiana. UNC is the 2 seed here. Midwest Region 1. Clemson - 30 wins, ACC champs. we're not in the midwest, must be heading out West. Haven't seen ball state either. Don't you dare fuck me, selection committee, with some BS 4/12 Ohio/Ball State matchup. Louisville is the 2 seed here. West Region 1. Syracuse Ball State is the 12 seed in the West. They play 19-9 Baylor. Va TEch is the 4 seed here, did we really hang on to a 3 seed even without winning our conference tournament?? Kansas earns the 6 seed, they play 11 seed Manhattan, one of the top mid-majors this year. OHIO!!!!!!!!! Ohio is the 3 seed in the West Region We play American University. Florida is the 2 seed here. Big east gets 9 teams into the dance. Pac 10, A-10, big 10 and MAC earn 3 bids. Clark Kellog informs us that "we have to take our hats off to the MAC, earning 3 bids out of a smaller conference". American University has an RPI of 147. They are 17-12 overall, stinking it up in the Patriot League to the tune of a 6-8 conference record. They were the #6 team in their league, beating 3 seed Colgate, , 7 seed navy, and then upsetting 1 seed Bucknell 74-71. Errm. American looks good. They have a senior PG rated 81 OVR, three players rated in the mid-70s. They're dragged down by a 57 rated power forward. Oh. Those 4 players are their entire team. No one else on the team is rated over 57. Their backup PG is rated 50 OVR. Still if we can't get them in foul trouble to keep their stars off the court, it could be a closer game than I would like. If we do beat American, our next opponent is most likely Kansas. Kansas is rated 93 OVR, has 4 player rated over 85, both their starting guards are coach on the floor caliber players. A daunting task to reach the sweet 16. Manhattan, out of the MAAC,actually looks a fair bit like us at a high level glance, rated 85 OVR, they have 5 players rated in the same range we do.. except they ahve a superstar PG rated 86 OVR We obviously root for them to pull the upset. We are the classic Gonzaga style 3 seed(sorry mid-major fans). We've played only a couple truly good teams all year, but we plaed just enough competition to look like a team that could go to the final four to someone who is only halfway paying attention. But its all smoke and mirrors. I *want* a sweet 16 appearance so badly for the coaching point, and simply for the advancement of the Ohio program. But I think its a long shot. |

Congrats on your best regular season yet. Now go get win #30.
If/when you leave Ohio and move onto a bigger program I think you should schedule Ball State every year until you feel that you have exacted a sufficient amount of revenge on their crappy school. |
