No matter what happens Friday night, Akron has a bye for the first two rounds.
If they win, then they still win the regular season title, and top seed in Cleveland. That also comes with an auto bid in the NIT if the worst case scenario happens in Cleveland. -------------------- My level of sarcasm is to the point where I don't even know if I'm kidding or not

Our results vs. each team currently projected to be on our side of the bracket:
Can't State - 2-0; 84-75, 61-55 E. Michigan - 1-0; 77-47 W. Michigan - 1-0; 69-66 (OT) Miami (OH) - 2-0; 65-60, 74-59 N. Illinois - 1-0; 75-51 I'd love for things to remain like they are. I feel like Buffalo and Ohio U are our toughest matchups, and the only time we'd see them is in the final. Can't State would also be a good Friday matchup, as Zeke matches up extremely well against their bigs. That is if they get there. They needed overtime to beat Western Michigan at home, beat Eastern Michigan by 4, and split two tight contests with Miami. The potential for an upset certainly exists. |

If Buffalo wins tomorrow, that means we can NOT play them in the first game, right?
That would be a good thing. |

Akron and Can't State are locked in at #1 and #4 respectively. If we see Buffalo it wouldn't be until the final, regardless of what they do tomorrow. |

Good because Buffalo is the only team in the MAC that has the goods on us. It is just a bad matchup for us. Bring on Justin Greene and let Zeke eat him up again. |

Thanks for taking the time to put this together and keep it up to date UAZip0510
 This illustrates nicely what a number of people have said regarding just how key tonight's win was on several levels. -------------------- "Build it, and they can't tear it down.......not for a good 15-20 years anyway."

No problem! The original writer did a great job of breaking it down initially, I just edited it with the updated scenarios. Another advantage is the Zips will play in the early game Friday. After we win, our Finals opponent will be playing until close to midnight. |
