True, but just ask him about Alderaan.

Saving people a click into the cesspool that is Reddit... Somebody on the Miami message board paid for the sub and this is the list they gave: No available responses: Pittsburgh Wisconsin Marquette USC Sacred Heart Oregon Ohio State Mississippi State Florida Response(s) but no agreement: Michigan State UCLA Boise State Grand Canyon Kansas (“We’ll need to look at next year”) BYU Utah Illinois (“I need to get two high NET games 300+ before I would think about playing you.”) Virginia Tech Nebraska Not sure this helps Miami OH's case at all. I certainly hope it helps expose how stupid CBB scheduling is, but Miami OH's schedule is their own fault. We don't know what Miami OH wanted for terms - buy game, home & home, etc. - and after they failed with these schools, they turned around and scheduled 3 non DI teams and Wright State as their toughest controllable OOC opponent.

Not George Thomas

Along with Frietag's status (if Buffalo makes it), this is going to be a storyline to watch next week. He obviously came back in, but he is seemingly playing less than 100%. It's one thing to play through an injury with a few days rest in between, it's another to play through an injury 3 straight nights.

Wild stat I just came across - CMU is 1-14 on the road this season.

Im not real familiar with Green Street Stadium at St V/M but it is also primarily a football stadium so im guessing dimensions will be the same. Also, this move is probably temporary as St V/M is replacing their turf this year necessitating the move.

Buffalo has to lose for CMU to make it.

As I posted before, last year the MAC posted its schedule on March 5th. It seems premature to jump to any conclusions.

Straight up, I have zero source material. Totally a gut feeling.

👀👀

correct. all eyes turn to buffalo. couldn't accept the idea Buffalo would beat Toledo.

This is the most interesting season the MAC has had in years and Miami and Akron are the reasons why.

Bruce Pearl name drops Akron. I had a Miami OH honk on X get his sweater in a tizzy because he set up a GoFundMe to cover Steele's fine and I said it was an absurd thing to do. Very early in the exchange, he said that Akron wishes they were getting half the publicity that Miami OH's getting. I told him that almost every single conversation regarding Miami OH typically involves someone mentioning that Akron is probably the best team in the MAC, so thanks for the free publicity lol.

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.
