excellent post. Look at the MAC tourney rules posted on their website or I linked in the mac tourney opinion thread. a team could be dropped and WMU replace them if it's outside 48 hours. If within 48 hours opponent gets a bye.
3 inconsequential and blow out games on the MAC agenda today:
Miami at Kalamazoo
Hurons head to Hocking Hills
And Keno Davis (who still has 3 years on his contract) leads the Chippewas (who just lost by 50 to Miami) into Niagara Falls to take on the Bulls. They would have more success going over the Falls in a barrell.
It's got to be brutal on Danny Pippen and his bad knees. Ironically, I think Ball Stare has a luxury double decker travel bus which they haven't had to use for a month or so.
Well Ball Stare hasn't had an away game in over a month and didn't have a game on Sunday against Western Michigan which one can say helped them out. Kent was at Western, home to Eastern, and on the road to Muncie in the last week.
wow. some great comments and observations (apart from Clark). Groce said the team was ...ugh...using winning as a deodorant. I guess Riak served the same purpose.
Zips seem to play better when they are on national TV (as opposed to a former coach's teams), so I look for a big bounce back Friday against BG. But, then again, I'm always wrong.
One of the best posts I've ever read on here. I noticed as well that the "bench mob" is no longer a mob as much as they are out of state guests. I think a good win against BG on Friday will put this in the rear window.
We had it coming from OU. Like that song from Chicago. We (me) rip them on here and last years game at OU went down to the end and Kittens made quite a comeback. Then we blasted them at home on national TV after being behind by a lot at half. Then the earlier game up here. Boals got his first win on Groce in an empty convo.
You make a good point. Just a mess of a season and you just can't tell who gets advantage. At first blush, Toledo benefits from playing a full season but are their players tired or injured. OU may have gotten a beneficial vacation heading into the final few weeks. Akron stuck in the middle. Running all over.
Good comment. I think its a mental drain more than physical. NIU got Zips after a long break and were motivated. And they have 3 more tough games ahead.
