This is the first game of a DH with Miami men playing Western Michigan at 3:30. Either a men’s or a woman’s ticket gets you in for both games. Carnival on the Concourse and the frisky dogs are both part of the day. Unfortunately I will be driving through New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma. I am hoping these will be the last games I miss this season.
BG is 7-7 (1-2), Miami is 8-5 ( 1-2). The Falcons have played a tougher schedule than we have. They have a very strong starting lineup. Center Erica Porter had two strong games against us last year. She is strong and aggressive. Keiryn McGuff power forward, is the daughter of Ohio State head coach Kevin McGuff (incidentally his first college coaching job was as an assistant at Miami.) They have 3 talented guards who have all had several 20 point games in their career. 5-7 Sr Amy Velasco 17.4ppg, 5-8 Soph Paige Kohler 12ppg, and oft injured 5th year Lexi Fleming9.3ppg…Before all her injuries, Lexi was the MAC freshman of the year and a great player.
Miami has not played particularly well since Tamar Singer was injured halfway through the Ball State game. We need to be at our best to win Saturday.
Pro tip to the fans: don’t mule any bacon into Millett for a mid game snack. Those filthy hounds are gonna do you dirty!!! I hope the ushers hand out moist towelettes.
When I saw “Frisky Dogs” my initial reaction was “no wonder there’s a fan attendance problem.”When you offer leg humping as the main attraction, fans simply don’t see the benefit. Now, if you offered it for Wednesday night games…
I am in Albuquerque tonight and have not seen any snow at all. I looked at the Accuweather forecast and I am running a day to a day and a half behind the storm, so I am basically only on interstates and I think they will be clear. This is the 6th year in a row I have driven out in December and back in January. So far I have never had to change my original bookings. I am lucky or praying for safe travel works.
That was a big win for us. Singer certainly makes a difference.BG’s point guard was a preseason first team pick. Tamar got to her. Plus our offense was much more uptempo and we got better shots.
