HoriZone Roundtable

IUPUI has finally won a Horizon League game, and Bob and Matt discuss The Jaguars' progress leading up to the win, as well as the ongoing slide for the team they beat. Green Bay. They also discuss, among other topics, Youngstown State's dominance to stay atop the standings, Cleveland State's no-good, very bad week, and Purdue Fort Wayne, which followed up a win against Oakland with...getting blown out by Detroit Mercy. 

Once again, four teams are tied atop the Horizon League standings, and Bob and Matt talk about how we got here. They also talk about what seemed to be a constant conversation about officiating in the conference, as well as the apprehension of considering Antoine Davis for Player of the Year when Detroit Mercy currently sits in ninth.

Will Ryan is gone, and Bob and John get into the ins and out of what's next for Green Bay. Fair warning: Bob curses a lot in this episode.

Northern Kentucky and Milwaukee each held serve this past week to remain in a first-place tie in the Horizon League, and Bob and Matt talk about those games, especially the game-winner by the Norse's Marques Warrick on his birthday. They also talk about the rest of the league, including Wright State's struggles, Antoine Davis becoming the second-leading scorer all-time, and Green Bay virtually disappearing in the second half of nearly every single game.

Antoine Davis is now the all-time leading three-point shooter in NCAA history, yet Detroit Mercy sits near the bottom of the Horizon League standings. Bob and Matt discuss that weird dynamic that seems to have plagued the Titans throughout Davis' time there. They also talk about the three-way tie at the top of the standings, which includes Youngstown State making a statement against the Michigan teams this past week, as well as how the rest of the conference shook out.

John fills in for Matt, and he and Bob discuss the week's action, including Milwaukee's surge to a share of the top of the Horizon League standings, thanks to a sweep of Cleveland State and Purdue Fort Wayne. They also talk about Northern Kentucky, who also share a top standings spot, although under much shakier circumstances, and three teams within a game of the Panthers and Norse, namely the Vikings, Youngstown State and a resurgent Oakland.

Bob and Matt, along with John, Alec Kwait and Blake Schumaker, rang in the New Year with the HoriZone Roundtable's annual live episode, which was broadcast via YouTube this year. They discussed the second full weekend of Horizon League, specifically the nightmare John will have to sort out in the Power Rankings with five teams sitting at 2-2.

The non-conference schedule is back in full swing, and Bob and Matt talk about all the games, including a sneaky triple double by a Youngstown State player, Green Bay getting two wins at home, and happy kids taking the day off from school and watching some college hoops.

John joins Bob to fill in for Matt next week, and they discuss the conference games that took place in the Horizon League this weekend, including ones that involved Wright State that didn't go as planned, contests at Northern Kentucky that went down to the wire, and Cleveland State and Milwaukee, both of which completed sweeps.

Bob and Matt go through the week that was in the Horizon League, which included a ton of MTEs, nearly all of which did not fare well for conference teams.
