Obviously he couldn't cut it as a critic

I'm in the same boat. Looks like we'll just have to make the Sweet 16 that way we can attend a game in Philly

I feel Akron was less talented than Toledo on paper too. Akron combatted this by slowing down the offense and using the full shot clock to minimize possessions. I expect us to do the same against UCLA. Guys like Ali and Castaneda will have to knock down tough shots with ~5 seconds left in shot clock for this to be effective.

If anyone is looking to attend it looks like flights are starting around $850

Wright State with the play-in game in Dayton. That should be fun for their fans being able to attend.

It's just not your individual NET, but also who you beat and where. Longwood, St Peter's, Akron, and Montona St. all are within a few spots of one another. We might still be seeded below those teams, but the committee will also be looking at who each team beat. Akron has 2 Q2 wins while those 3 programs have a combined 0. None of the programs have a Q1 win. That's why I think Akron has a chance of being ahead of them. As for what the committee decides who knows.

A game that could impact whether we're a 13 or 14 seed is the Yale - Princeton game. Princeton has a better NET and would likely be seeded ahead of us. We would likely be seeded ahead of Yale.

Good thing per bracket matrix Lunardi is historically near the bottom for accuracy

The brackets I've seen have shown Buffalo hosting 2 13 vs 4 games and Pitt hosting to 14 vs 3 games. I'd love to get either of those destinations.

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.
