Kent deliberately threw that game by sitting Pippen. They hope Ohio U can't play and they get a first round walk.

Well, Pinky is tanking his last game by not playing Pippen. So looks like Grover Cleveland U on Zips side of bracket.

Wasn't an inspired first half between PCCC and Grover Cleveland State. GCS through up a 3. Missed and rebounded and shot 3 more x. Missed all 3.

And Toledo plays Ball State tonight and turns around and plays them Thursday at Noon. Maybe Buffalo would have an advantage playing Miami? But Miami, as the 12th seed, beat them in first round last year. Groce is 2-2 in the MAC tournament for the Zips. The first year he put the team together on a fly, and I thought they played well in the tourney in 2018 (they beat WMU on the road in a crazy game) but couldn't hold on to it it vs. EMU. In 2019, they easily beat Miami in first round then unfortunately because of some late season losses ran into the unstoppable Buffalo in Cleveland. I like the Zips odds on the neutral court where the Zips got to play earlier this season.

Whatever team shows up...literally

Thank you. Top 8. All are tough. No one is safe

Zips arent in the top 8. How do they get to Cleveland?

No. They all ready wrapped up. Some more than others.

That's what I'm hearing as well and now the Zips IF. all these teams get there will be #3. seed no matter what happen in games tomorrow.

Speaking of weird, how would we be feeling tonight if the Zips had won the regular season and were faced once again with not playing in the tournament? Blessings in disguise.

If its the Zips incredibly disappointing. But time to pull the plug.

Sounds like its a BG/Miami issue. Akron should be fine for tournament. Played BG a week ago. MAC should have ended the regular season last Friday. Then force the top 8 teams to bubble. Stupid.

The rules and format of that tournament are completely subjective. They based the seeds on subjective criteria like strength of schedule.

I like the LCJ and Clarke two guard combo. It's worked before: McNees and Roberts and Bassett and Cooper. I think KD and Darryl and Steve on the floor together.

That's good news. 640am came on in my car, and they were winning. I wasn't hopeful they could hold on.

Speaking of a good product, this certainly takes our minds off the MAC tournament for a few days.

Why don't we attempt to follow this guide when discussing these personnel issues, focusing on the top of the pyramid: for

oh.

Well, OU has a thread brilliantly titled "Anyone notice BG and Akron lost last night?" Like, how do you answer that?

There's another thread on this in the general discussion forums.

Hopefully, they will look to Van Horn to take over the department. He knows the donors, the fanbase, the community, and certainly knows what changes need to be made. He would be a solid choice.

The Horizon League tournament is rather nuts. Wright State lost and the #1 seed Vikings went to 3 OTs. Torrey scored 30 points. Horizon league gave every team a chance with the final 4 bubbling in Indianapolis and the winner likely staying there.

So Friday if Akron wins over Miami, they are set as a 3rd seed and will play BG on Thursday. Meanwhile, Kent and Buffalo will be playing for the #2 seed. Then there is Ohio's alleged COVID situation.

A fake Marreon Jackson out or a real Jayden Sayles out?
