If we win against OU on Tuesday, we win the MAC, and the auto NIT bid.

A loss and a win against Kent still possibly gives us the win, depending on what OU does against Miami.

One win beats Ball State, which has 6 losses and we have the tiebreaker.

 

So GO ZIPS. Bring it home on Tuesday. Biggest game of the decade, playing for the MAC championship.

While Tuesday is the absolute clincher for the MAC East title and No. 1 overall seed (and NIT bid), Ball State could still take a share of the overall title even if Akron beats OU, and BSU wins out and Akron then loses to Kent.

 

Both would be 12-6, with Akron holding the tiebreaker.

 

Conversely, Akron would still win the MAC title with a loss to Ohio, but a win against Kent (as long as BSU loses one of its final 2). Even if OU and Akron are tied at 12-6, Akron has the tie breaker as the Zips would be 7-3 in East play, where OU would be 6-4. Divisional record determines the tiebreaker if two teams are tied and 1-1 against each other. ... Again, technically a shared title.

 

If the Zips win just one, the only way the can't win the No. 1 seed and the NIT bid is if Akron loses to OU and both OU and BSU win out. That makes a 3 team tie. Ohio would win in H2H play... 2-0 against BSU and 1-1 against Akron. ... Akron would be 1-0 and 1-1 in that situation. So despite three teams getting to claim the title, OU would get the one and the NIT bid. Akron would be the two and BSU the three.

 

That's laying out all the scenarios for Akron (outside of going 0-2, and if it comes to that, does it really matter?).

 

But 71 is absolutely correct in saying a win vs OU wraps up the 1 seed. It gives the Zips the tiebreaker over the only two teams that would still have a shot at 12-6.

 

Hopefully, they make it real easy and just hold home court against the two biggest rivals. Do that and no sharing of anything is involved.

No, they have been horrible.GoZips has it listed as ESPN 2, but the TV listings do not show that. It does appear to be on ESPN 3, looking at the Watch ESPN app.

If you are the only one who thinks every stream is horrible, the problem is your internet. You can watch if on ESPN3 via ASN.

I am far from the only one. The ESPN 3 stream is great, maybe that is what you are thinking of. As far as the ASN stream, well lets see:

*No audio

*No stream for the KSU game

*Starts and stops constantly

*Never allows you to see a foul shot.

 

Just horrible.

My experience with ASN is much better.  Very good announcers, good graphics, HD video with full replay capabilities.  Usually at least 4 camera angles. No starting/stopping or audio issues when Ive watched either football ( UMASS game) or basketball (Western Mich).  ASN is a hybrid network owned by sinclair broadcasting and fed to broadcast channels nationwide ( including Columbus and Cincy but not Cleveland), plus streamed through watch espn.  Its very similar to Time Warner Cable Sports.

I believe that you may be mistaken here. The horrible feeds are the ones produced by the university that are only streamed through Gozips.com.   The ASN feeds have been of the highest quality,
