I don't think Freitag will return and if he does, I think he will be limited, so I'm rooting for Buffalo #7 and UMass #8. Miami potentially getting UMass, Toledo, then us as their path would be pretty grueling from a physical perspective.

Yep, I would think closer to 4 than 5 but depends on how many fouls and reviews there are in the first two games. 😅

The thread topic is "MAC 2025-26 SZN". We have individual game threads and "2025-26 Season in process" threads to discuss the Zips specifically. The purpose of this thread is general MAC discussion. Edit: kreed beat me to it

Thursday tip off. Guessing 4:00-5:00?

I believe there's a couple of scenarios where CMU can win and still miss out.

Yes but all roads lead to Miami OH. Have you seen their strength of schedule? (I'm kidding, I'm kidding. No sweaters talk here. Had to give you some crap, though.)

basically, Bronkema and Halcovage control their own destinies and Zips first round opponent. Lewis can play spoiler.

Ok. I will attempt to resuscitate "Season in Process." Thanks.

This is literally the MAC SZN thread meaning this would be where we would talk about Miami and other MAC schools. If you don't want to discuss other MAC teams that's fine, but you probably should just stay out of this thread.

because it's a ZN message board? maybe you should create your own thread for all topics Miami. This is worse than the Bobcat Attack obsession with Groce.

Serious question - what non-Akron MAC topic is as interesting as Miami right now that you expect people to be discussing in this thread instead?

I agree Miami has received special treatment this year, but here is my question. If it is Akron vs Miami in the Final, wouldn't it be better for the MAC to favor Akron in that game, knowing Miami almost certainly gets in as well?

This is honestly why I think the MAC is trying to not be done with 2026 additions.

More fraudulent than Bishop Sycamore.

Cryami is getting way too much attention in this thread. In ten days, none of it will matter anyhow because we will have beaten them soundly, exposing them as the frauds they are.

To be honest I've only watched 3 or 4 Miami games all season. I can't really weigh in on the games I haven't seen. I do know a few of their close games they came from behind in and others they were up and protecting the lead. If you're trailing, you foul. If you're up you don't. I'm not invested enough to go back and look at the boxscores for each game to see which were which.

That's the most obvious trend from all this data. 😂

UMass simply fouls more.

Let's say they are shooting 8 FT in the final minute for each of those games. That's 32, which would still leave them at +75. In addition, they've only had one road game with a greater than 10 margin of victory. Why is their road advantage only +2 despite 7 games being 10 pts or less for margin of victory if that's the explanation?

And before that they bragged about attendance numbers. When you haven't made it to the Big Dance in nearly half a century you have to find something to boast about.

Toledo still brags about their 4 straight.
