You might want to post it again. Not sure people got it 😉

Carry was the MVP of the first half

We would be up by about 15 if we did a better job of securing defensive rebounds

Make that first 10, perhaps 11 depending how the and 1 goes

Kent's 1st 8 points all 2nd chance points. We have to do a better job securing rebounds.

Losing Jacobs for a half is still a big break for the Zips. He's been their best player in Cleveland thus far and for the season he's #2 in scoring and #1 in rebounding for Kent. It would be nice if the Zips could capitalize early.

I don't see it happening unless the winning team goes on and makes some noise in the tourney.

Carry hasn't even played good these past two games. Kent has looked a lot less 1 dimensional in these Cleveland games.

Looks like we had the same idea lol

I'm cheering for this Ohio - Kent game to go to triple OT like that UAB -Mid Tenn game

Anyone know of good ticket deals for tomorrow's game?

Bids are awarded to teams, not conferences. Buffalo would have been an at-large a few years ago, but they went on to win the tournament. In order for the MAC to get an at-large another Buffalo would need to emerge and said team would need to get upset in the tournament

Not happening, Toledo resume isn't that good. They came in I believe #64 in NET, which is going to take a hit losing to Akron. They also didn't beat anyone in the top 50 this year. Better MAC teams have been passed over.

Playing to not lose is going to make us lose. We're having to force up contested shots at the buzzer. We need to move the ball around to get better looks. This is only a 2 possession game with lots of time left.

Ali had an open 3 there. Not sure why he didn't shoot it. We need to make Toledo pay when the decide to triple team Freeman otherwise they will keep doing it.

If you take out Dawson, Akron is shooting 9/39 (.231) from the field and 0-12 from 3. That's just not going to get it done. Dawson carried this team as far as she could.

Our NET ranking is #143. We won't even be in the discussion for an NIT bid.

Ball State should be so much better than they are. There is so much high school basketball talent that comes out of Indiana and Ball State still has a pretty decent basketball fan base despite being pretty mediocre under Whitford. The right guy could easily make them competitive.

My guess is Buffalo gets a put back off of a miss

Castaneda has disappeared in the second half. We will need him down the stretch.

CMU up 71-70 EDIT: 20 seconds left, but Toledo has the ball

I hate it when I have to agree with @dre22era

Given how far the MAC has fallen that would be the OVC or Summit based off the numbers @RowdyZip presented. That's still going to be a lot of garbage opponents.

They're only playing the East teams 2-3 more times. The West teams have just decided to quit funding their basketball programs. Bates was making like 120k before he was fired. That's about half the amount of money Horizon league teams pay their coaches. You get what you pay for. Edit: The MAC West teams use to be good enough that they could pad their win totals beating cupcakes OOC. Now those teams are the cupcakes.

How much the MAC has fallen is insane. The 2-3 years prior to covid the MAC was hovering around 10-12 range. Now over half the league is those same cupcakes that we complained about scheduling for home OOC games...
