http://bball.notnothing.net/mac.php?sport=wbb. this also works for the women's bracket. clear as mud.

Zips will play either Buffalo or Northern Illinois.

They should make it to Cleveland, right? The women's draw at the bottom is even more of a cluster than the men's. Akron can be as high as 6 or as low as 9. They are very, very fortunate Ball State is playing Miami on Saturday. If Miami loses and Akron loses, Akron gets in...otherwise...I can't figure it out.

reminded me of this: if you click on the link, you can see the events that got 2 refs suspended. Ball State again..AND Eastern was at home.

Watched a replay of the last minute because Phelps said Groce will want to watch the tape and find out why that Ball State player was wide open for 3. The answer: As Ball State inbounded the ball, a Cardinal ran directly across the key and knocked Clarke to the ground. Simultaneously, another Cardinal was literally holding Tribble. This happened directly in front of "Lerch the ref" who waved off the contact Tribble received.

Santiago hasn't played since the Akron game.

Ha. that photo stood out to me as well. Emoni Bates would maybe last an afternoon at a Groce practice...if that.

Couldn't ask for a better final home game at the JAR. I watched replay and the technical got the Ball State lead down to 9 and Trendan's only 3 points were huge and took the lead down to 6. While he had a bad night, he made a huge basket. I think we were all correct in how this was a replay of the Toledo game. The differences were many, of course, but simply Ball State isn't as good a a team as Toledo and Akron could over take them. Helluva game by Ball State on the road. And despite the protests at Over the Pylon, I thought the ESPN guys gave the Cardinals plenty of credit.

http://bball.notnothing.net/mac.php?sport=mbb i don't recall a year in which nothing is really settled heading into the final game. Kent could be 1. Akron could be 2. Central, Eastern, Miami, and BG all have a chance at #8. Ball State v Ohio as 4 and 5 appears to be locked down. That's going to be a rough evening for one of those fan bases.

Yep

Never doubted Zips would win. Will never understand why ticket holders skip these games or can't come unless they are playing Rootstown.

Down to 3 and give up 4. Zips have trouble when opponent is in top form. They can't seem to match it.

Dagger. Complete replay of Toledo.

Yes, I so feel like Sweet Caroline sing a long about now

Exactly. Said that awhile ago.

Rough way to end the season. Owned by the MAC West at home.

I think it's Ball State that plays to level of their opponent.

Awful possession to end half. Just get it to Hunter.

Lots of dribbling and some poor shots. Ball State getting closer to the basket.

Going inside. Draw some fouls. Eat away a little. Seems to be the plan.

Ball State so much better. Rebounding big problem at moment.

Looks like a date with Ohio in first round.

Can't blame the refs on this one. Like Toledo, Ball State was hitting all their 3s in warm up.

Ball State good warm up carrying over. X missed 2 open 3s. Nate Johnson in.

Coleman NOT dressed.
