Miami OH just traveled up 2 with 20 seconds to go but the refs didn't call it. Unbelievable.

Good win. That was strictly a survive & advance game.

A couple times tonight one of the guards has found a cutting Lyles or Mahaffey and instead of going up strong right away, they've put the ball oj the ground and hesitated. That needs to change.

The biggest evolution to his game from last year to this year.

MMK is so athletic. If he keeps working on his ball handling/shooting, look for him to be a real contributor next year. Scott doesn't have his shot right now, but Sharron certainly does. @clarkwgriswold So Eric is out of the boot now?

MMK with a dribble drive layup!

This is the perfect game for tonight. CMU is playing for their March lives so we'll get their best on their court. Need the Zips to use this as preparation for Cleveland, which we know Groce will be pushing.

I want UMass in over Buffalo as the 8 seed unless Buffalo can guarantee that Freitag will be back for the tourney. Buffalo is atrocious without him.

Not when this year, when I'm ultimately rooting for Miami OH's demise. Lol.

CMU's fate actually comes down to Ohio winning tonight and CMU beating Balls on Friday. Should that occur, they will be the 7 seed vs. Akron in R1.

A fluke 3 point win in that ancient craphole called Millett with a 20 FT advantage while Akron shot a season low(?) 25% from 3P is the only reason anyone is still talking about Miami OH as the last undefeated team. Just take it one game at a time and get me to March 14th.

Keep this in mind. A fully healthy Miami OH team with essentially this exact same team plus Kam Craft, Reece Potter, and Mekhi Cooper shot 49% from the field and 50% from 3P in last year's MAC title game. They were up 18 at one point in that game. They lost by 2 to a far inferior squad offensively, especially compared to this year's Akron team. Miami OH doesn't have Craft, Potter, and Cooper this year; Ipsaro is out for the season. Good luck to the Redhawks should both teams make it to Saturday night in Cleveland.

Yup. You can't have Wright State as your best controllable OOC opponent and claim that nobody will play you. Absurd take. The question has to be asked: did they intentionally create a weak schedule to pad their success in order to push the new arena?

Sayler is getting destroyed in the comments. The facade is fading quickly for Miami OH.

I know Dakich is polarizing - and I don't know if I was naive for thinking otherwise here - but I did not realize refs are paid differently depending on the home team's conference. If that's true, that's one of the biggest flaws in the entire system.

There is so much nuance to that hypothetical, though. If Akron or Miami OH were in the Big East, they'd likely have a few better recruits, more familiarity with those schools in terms of game planning, and they'd automatically get home games vs the better competition - something they don't get now. The best counterargument I've seen is posing the question if his son was one of the best 68 candidates for the job as they are currently 11th in the SEC (bottom half) at 6-10 in conference.

When politicians figure out how to enrich themselves and concentrate wealth even more for their friends.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. 🤷‍♂️

NIU is going to be a welcomed addition.

Fashion school.

Won't be too difficult to find matches. Not sure what this says about me that I'm actually watching this game. Btw, no Josiah Harris for CSU. Not sure if he got hurt in their last game. This is a really pathetic basketball game. CSU was up by 14 and are only up by 3 now after they turned it over on an inbounds violation for running on the baseline without a previously made basket. 3 straight turnovers by CSU on inbounds plays.

He didn't have the decency to apologize after the game, or call on Saturday? An apology didn't occur until today, which was probably a stipulation with the $2500 fine to avoid further punishment. What a "leader."

Played around with the simulator a bit. 5 teams are vying for those final 2 spots. Kent, Toledo, Ohio, and BG are pretty well locked into that order. EMU, CMU, Balls, UMass, and Buffalo are all sweating. Tomorrow night is the most excited I've been in quite some time for non-Akron MACtion.
