The Grizz were given a gift Friday night with Green Bay falling apart losing two straight at home getting clobbered by Fort Wayne. Have to take advantage and have to stay focused because Wright State is fully capable of beating them.

Will be a great atmosphere today at the O’rena. Kampe will have a task on his hands keeping the players’ excitement in check at the beginning. Not uncommon for teams in this position to come crashing down to earth under the weight of expectations. WSU is a good team and Oakland needs to play strongly on both ends - just like their last meeting. Make shots and defend.
As I read the standings, a win in either of the next two games guarantees at least a share of first place. Give Kampe, the staff and the players their due. Time to finish the job.

I had a feeling we might lose this one, but damn, I didn't think Wright State would make us look like a D2 team along the way. If we get embarrassed in the paint like that again next Saturday, even the pathetic Titans could beat us.
I guess the good news is that we still control the path to the regular season championship, but we haven't looked as bad as we did today in months.

The worry is the way wright st bullied us in the paint makes me nervous the same thing will happen in the tournament plus naggy seems to have kampes number hopefully um wrong or they lose to another team

One piece of good news is despite this pathetic loss the Grizz pick up a share of the HL title with Green Bay losing their third loss in a row to YSU this afternoon. Grizz win Saturday they'll win the title and no. 1 seed outright.

In the context of recent history, getting at least a share of the HL regular season title is a significant accomplishment. Give credit where due. However, laying an egg like they did in the second half at home after leading at the break, does make fans nervous. Why wouldn’t they be? The reality is that an experienced coaching staff can devise a winning strategy against Oakland. The key is how Kampe reacts to that strategy. Yesterday, the defense was so worried about outside shooting, they let everything go in the paint. Not unfair to expect more.
Like any team in any sport that has underperformed historically, Oakland needs to overcome their demons and avoid this kind of letdown moving forward.

The funny or maybe not funny part is Kampe keeps saying fans should show up for this team they are fun watch yet it seems when they do like yesterday the team doesn't show up
