Meh.

Yeah, I'd prefer to play Buffalo in the 1st round. Even though UMass seems to find ways to lose when they shouldn't. Generally that's bad coaching. 🤷‍♂️

Buffalo and Umass split the season series, unsure how that tiebreaker goes. Very happy with Umass being 8 now

Buffalo is now #7, UMass #8

Just a couple of Zips holding down the right side.

This looks like a great formation for Malik. Doesn’t need to be an outside back, let him sit up more

Now they're going to overtime so it's even better.

Malik and Richie both starting for Toronto in the season opener. Also, in a separate match, Shookalook is on the bench for Chicago after signing his MLS contract during the winter.

Skaljac is playing really well for them. Being honest, I think they are the favorite watching them last night. Of course doesn’t mean we can’t knock them off. We might be looking at UMASS, Kent, then Miami in the tournament though which would be tough.

Buffalo needs to win this game today especially with CMU right behind them and their head to head next week. It would actually be a shame if any of the directionals make it in the tournament

The UMass-BG game on February 28th could end being pretty big in terms of the seed UMass ends up with.

Yes.

Looked like a nice ceremony for Rachel Tecca today. Sorry I missed it. Those were fun teams to follow. Were all four of those kids I saw on video hers?

Seems to me this team has a lot of problematic second quarters.

Two steps forward, one step back.

I found this video very interesting if you look at the Money aspect on as a Conference adding Sac State, if accurate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vTci7wCe3Q

In my wish world Miami goes undefeated until the MAC final when they get beaten by the Zips and both the Zips and Miami make the tournament. Two MAC teams in the tourney would be a nice precedent.

Like him or not, they're stuck with him until the end of his contract. The problem with not committing further to him (and I am not suggesting they should)is that it impacts recruiting. Kids want to know who's going to be their coach. I went to the game today. The Zips were competitive in he first and fourth quarters but got outscored by 17 in the second quarter. No effort seemed to be made during that run to stop the momentum by calling a timeout. Overall, they turned the ball over way too much, couldn't stop dribble penetration and gave up way too many easy shots. Gentzler did way too much yelling and gesturing, including a Rick Pitino like tearing off and throwing of his sportscoat.

In my wish world, they lose on Thursday.

I just want to avoid UMass in the first round so they can either move into 6th or fall down to 8th. Either is fine with me.

Looking at the current likely MAC seedings, its not likely we'll finish in front of Miami or behind KSU so the seven seed is our likely opponent. Going to root to UMass to take over the six seed to take on KSU in round 1 to beat on each other, which would probably give us BGSU in round 1, whom we don't even rent, we own.

The right answer is Miami takes a lead with 5 seconds left but intentionally fouls Evan and we win by 1

In the postgame groce didn’t really know anything about Freitag and him being out for so long. He said “we will prepare as if he will play”
