I'm an awesome human who lives at the center of Sanity Island.

You seem nice.😇

Yes, it does. Every game up until the Final Four gives a credit. Each credit is worth about $2 million.

I think it's funny when people write things assuming those who will be reading it are as stupid as they are.

The only part that will be a bit of a pain is the Tuesday/Wednesday game out there, given it's midweek during classes. That's the only real issue. Otherwise, I appreciate the MAC taking a wild shot here. The MAC's traditional complacency and lack of progress has actually been replaced with taking a shot at something (even if that something came with virtually zero financial risk).

Doesn’t the MAC get more money for each game played? If so, I’m all for it

I was under the impression that he's under contract through next season.

I actually don't know the full contract details. When I said 5 years it was because that's what google showed when I searched. I'm not sure how much of the contract is actually guaranteed.

I may be mistaken but I was under the impression it was a four year contract?

I DO NOT want to see Miami go undefeated in the MAC & then get boat raced in the 1st round of the NCAA

💯 This.

UMass enjoys fouling the hell out of people and the refs actually call it. My fear would be a game in the tourney where the refs decide to “let em play” or that they can’t call too many fouls for the entertainment value, and then UMass gets the benefit.

Why does this bother you so much?

really good article from ZippedUp with an in-depth discussion of the Mahaffeys. https://akronzippedup.substack.com/?utm_campaign=pub&utm_medium=web

Sure, when we both make the final four. It could happen. 😄

I would never expect the Zips to face them in the NCAA tourney.

You should be careful what you wish for, it would be very difficult for us to beat them in both the MAC and NCAA tourneys!

It's barely above humiliation level. I could barely keep from laughing listening to the video.

Ryan's not going anywhere.

If Zips win Tuesday, they will have two MAC seasons in a row with 13 game winning streaks (13-0 to start last season). Don't believe that's been done before. But Miami....

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
