Game! Of! The! Night! Mar 09: Ohio at Miami (Oh.)

By Kyle Whelliston on March 9, 2006 5:26 AM |

No bids being given out tonight, but we have a decent quarterfinal matchup in the Mid-American. It's actually a semifinal rematch from last year, the trial-by-fire, come-from-behind upset that sent the No. 7-seeded Bobcats on to the title game with brimming confidence. Miami has been the under-the-radar team of the MAC East, losing only four league games, which was just one too many for that tough division. They love to drag you into a slow-tempo, grind it out game, but make their shots (46.0% FG, third-best in the MAC) and convert on their freebie chances (74.1%, 33rd-best in the country). Ohio, on the other hand, is a big question mark. They're still breaking in a new point guard (Tony Chatman, 4.0 ppg) after the midseason defection of Jeremy Fears. But they destroyed Central Michigan in the first round on their way to Cleveland, and have the championship experience to prime themselves for another deep run.
