mes102 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Since I'm not sure if I'll be on here tomorrow, here's my predictions: #1 Ohio over #8 Buffalo #5 Akron over #4 Toledo #7 Western Michigan over #2 Central Michigan #3 Ball State over #6 Eastern Michigan #1 Akron over #8 Eastern Michigan #4 Central Michigan over #12 Bowling Green #7 Northern Illinois over #2 Ohio #3 Buffalo over #11 Miami(OH) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got off to a horrendous start, but finished strong. In the last 2 weeks alone they had wins over the #1, #3, #5, and #6 seeded MAC teams. Lone loss was by 1 possession to #2 team. Sure, it's certainly a matter of option on the first part. I'll take the lowest seed, who just scored an upset, had to play on the road, and has to travel in a couple of days to play again. But what's not a matter of opinion is how much our guys would love to put a beating on Miami for the way they played in Oxford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobotHam Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 All I care about is Akron sweeping the MAC Tourney on both sides! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Ohio women lose to Buffalo...again. That makes the road to the championship much easier BUT worry about UT first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalZIP Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Zips lead 40-36 at the half. They are shooting 51% and 54% from three, Anita Brown has 21 points and 4 rebounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalZIP Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Going to OT tied at 60. We're pretty lucky to have this chance, the second half was pretty bad. Brown has 31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Anita Brown has almost half the teams points (33 of 67), wow. Zips up by 4 with 1:25 left in OT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to wait through frozen screens repeatedly to see what was happening. But that was an exciting game. Glad I took the time to watch it. And what a break for the girls, getting to play the #8 instead of the #1 in the semifinal. Oh, and Anita Brown is unbelievable. Dear Men's Basketball Recruiters: Give me ONE forward who can create their own shot, like Anita, sometime this decade.

When Plybon (SG) and Barilla (PG) are on the floor, she's playing a wing, at best. Regardless, she dribbles and creates space and gets a lot of open shots in that 10-15 foot range, even with larger defenders on her. 25 minutes ago, Blue & Gold said: Next year you'll get two. Daniel Utomi. Isaiah Williams. I hope you're right. But what are our chances when we've really never had a player at that spot who can play like that? Don't get me wrong. I love Reggie and Jake, and what they've done for us. But, I'd love to see a 6-6 to 6-8 player come in there who can dribble, create space, and make a 10 foot fade away jumper in the paint.
