Any MAC coach would or should want him on their team. Frankly, any of the Zips top ten would be a benefit to them. You wonder how a player like Nate would flourish without this staff and teammates.
Recap and a preview of the MAC Tournament.

I like the idea of re-seeding the teams. However, this year not much difference between 4/5/6/7. If they allowed all the teams to play in, then the re-seeding would be a super benefit.
The MAC isn't what it used to be, but Akron went 17-1 and tied Kent's longstanding record which came from one of the greatest MAC teams of all time (Kent 2002). Incredible.
I got the sense that they did take the foot off the gas. At one point, Jimmy and Amani were on the bench and Bowen was like the biggest guy out there...maybe kamali was on the court. He wasn't risking injury or something stupid happen.
That was the craziest game in Mt Pleasant. Central missed like 25 FTs. missed 5 of 6 to end regulation?. NIU guy throws a pass for an alley oop and some how THE ACTUAL PASS goes in. Total fluke. Lucky Loser = BG.
