The injury occurred when they were pressing with less than a minute left and they were down by 12. Can anybody spell stupid.

For me it's not that I'd be concerned with losing to UMass (although anything is possible in single elimination tournaments). It's more that having to win 3 games in 3 days requires being able to recover quickly. The bumps and bruises we take on Thursday can have an impact on Friday or Saturday.

I was curious of how the order would go if there's a three way tie but didn't bother to figure out the three-way tiebreaker. Thanks for posting. There's a very real chance they all finish 7-11, so according to the above post, we'd play UMass which I don't love. They appear to stink but they also seem to lose a lot of close games so maybe they're just unlucky?

Bulls are currently the #8 seed despite the loss.

If UMass, CMU, and Buffalo all finished tied, they would get the 7, 8, and 9 seeds, respectively. UMass at Ohio on Tuesday will have an impact on who we end up playing in the 1st round.

Also I wouldn’t be surprised if ball state somehow sneaks into the tournament. They play @niu, @wmu, and vs CMU who has won one road game all year

If Buffalo (who might be without Frietag) and UMass (play OU) lose CMU losing to us shouldn't matter.

Don’t want to take anything away from CMU, but if we could play them in the first round and Miami has to battle Buffalo for a third time and Umass not in it at all. Thats a great scenario, but with us playing CMU on Tuesday I don’t think this will stay

Wow this current bracket is unbelievable 😂

As things currently stand, UMass is on the outside looking in. Buffalo also slipped up today at home against CMU. Bracket is updated as of 4 PM.

Wow, CMU is up by 9 on Buffalo with 2:30 left. The game is in Buffalo too. This would knock the bulls out of the mac tournament picture

If CMU loses today, they would be eliminated from MAC Tournament contention and the game would likely be much easier for us. However, they're currently up 8 with about 4 minutes left. UMass is losing too, which would create a three-way tie for 7th through 9th. Three teams for the final two spots.

Looking at the schedule. UMass might not make it to Cleveland.

I think if St Ignacius wins 2 more games, they will play regionals at the JAR.

Freitag not playing today. Back on concussion protocol. Nice job, Halcovage. played him too soon

Due to when he transferred in, Shammah Scott has a 100% winning percentage against Kent

UMass derangement syndrome. In the Ball State loss, they had the last possession and a time out. Their player got stuck on the sideline and ended up with a horrible shot. A time out may have saved the possession and the game. The Minutemen aren't cohesive and seem to be out for themselves on the court.

And that was only won by a fingertip.

It truly doesn't matter. You win the MAC tournament, you go dancing...you lose it, you're biting your nails as to whether or not you get a home game in the Not Invited Tournament.

Team just posted them practicing outside on Instagram. Spring is coming!

Also interesting that it’s very likely UMASS finishes with the exact same record their first year in the MAC as their last year in the A-10.

A couple years ago, when Freeman was here, we had a pretty comfortable 20 pt lead for most of the game but the refs took over and ruined the final score. I think we still won by double digits or almost double digits. Outside of the 2024 MAC Title Game, this series hasn't been competitive since 2023.

Yup. UMASS feels like the most dangerous team outside of Akron or Miami

How large was Kent's series lead when Pinky was hired as HC? I believe it's now Akron +5.

Anybody but UMass. Their physicality is something both Miami OH and Akron want to avoid, especially on Thursday.
