I still don't see them running the table. They're good and deserve the recognition they're getting, but there have been much better teams in the MAC over the last ~70 years. If those teams couldn't do it, it would almost be a shame to see this team do it. That last Oates UB team was special. Had they achieved it I wouldn't be as disappointed.

“Coach is right this isn’t just about hoops, it’s about our future!”

As much logical sense this makes. I also hope Miami loses, I just hate seeing them being americas darling when we are just as good

Both Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid are hurt for Minnesota. Enrique may finally be active tomorrow.

Akron currently favored by 8.5 points with an O/U of 169.5

So Texas Tech got Miami of Ohio edge rusher, Kent State edge rusher and Akron's own Julien Laventure.... seems crazy

I'm sure he prefers the academics at Texas Tech than what Virginia could offer him. 😉

How is it that some players are just injury prone. I think that is why he did not have a large number of minutes at Duquesne. I feel sorry for the guy. Must be frustrating.

I hope they go undefeated and we get to play them in the MAC finals. That would be fun and add some national interest in the game.

that's crazy... he was introduced to zips d line last night....

And look who's #1 😐

Nate Johnson isn't the problem at Kansas State IMO. If you look at his numbers his FG%, 3P%, FT%, steals, and assists are all above last years numbers. His point total is down because his shot attempts are just down because he's Kansas State's 3 or 4th scoring option, not first. I actually don't think Kansas State is all that bad. I actually watched their game against Oklahoma St. the other night. They just play in what looks to be a very strong conference and have lost some close games OSU and Arizona State. Not to mention they lost to #7 Nebraska by 1. They can field a strong starting 5, but their bench looks underwhelming. Instead of giving Nate what they did they probably should have split that money adding 2-3 players instead. They would likely be in a better place.

Screw NIU for making the MAC schedule lopsided so we don't get 2 cracks at Miami. Their inevitable downfall is going to be sweet to witness.

so far…

Miami climbs into the top 25 in the AP poll.

We might be thinking in a similar manner. As much as Nate had really improved and earned MAC Player of the Year he still had a few bad tendencies. Taking a play off here and there. And he was always good for one head-scratching pass or a missed dunk per game. I’m not being critical, just saying that was the Nate we experienced and he had Groce staring him down from the bench. I can’t imagine a new coach, any new coach could possibly know exactly which buttons to push to get the best out of Nate in one season. Or it could be just a bad situation all together.

Another MAC DL to TTU

Hayden to Eastern Kentucky per the above 247 portal page

It will be interesting to see how the leash shortens on coaching tenures of those guiding underachieving teams with big payrolls. If I were the donor that ponied up a million bucks to buy Nate Johnson I’d be pretty angry about only having a .500 record to show for it. I’d probably be making some demands if they want me to cut more checks in the future.

Just end all their athletic programs. Unacceptable.
