    If one of the freshman transferred out and both Evan and Oriol were eligible, Akron would have a shot at being pretty special. Mahaffey Pence Burton Oriol Staveskie ...with Hammer Jr, White, Head, Wilson, Barre, MMK, Halligan, Perkins, and Henderson off the bench.

    Coach Ford retweeted this. Maybe Evan is still possible?
  3. Zippy87
    If Mahaffey was cleared, they'd have cut someone else loose. I'm guessing they wouldn't have added Oriol if they thought Evan had a good chance of being eligible.

    Didn't say they shouldn't fall, but falling from 16 to unranked after a win is pretty unprecedented.

    I think you're underrating how much the media is riding against Michigan and for Western Michigan here. Michigan won the game and dropped completely from the AP Poll. This has turned WMU into a darling underdog and that will follow them the rest of the season, including when they're considered for the Playoff. Hell, I think they could make it at 11-2.

    So would a 12-1 WMU team with just one controversial loss that built a ton of favor toward them in terms of public opinion/support. I won't compare to JMU last year because each year is so unique.

    I don't know if I agree, especially if Michigan ends up not being a Top 25 team. The committee would discount that as a signature win and they wouldn't have one otherwise. Now, even if Michigan ends up not being a Top 25 team, they'll have the sentimental backing of a lot of voters. Look no further than the AP vs Coaches polls today.

    I actually think there's a world where Western Michigan losing that game helps them in the long run. Say they go 12-1, with their only loss being Michigan. The committee is going to put them in, even if another team has an arguably better resume, as a way to try to right a "wrong". The human element and subjectivity of how they rank teams could actually help a smaller school for once.

    This is odd to me after Steinbrecher basically stated Saturday night that what the Big Ten told them added up. I'm guessing they received some pushback from WMU and/or other member schools and wanted to at least look like they are fighting this.

    No mention of Kamrin Oriol, either. My way-too-early starting five prediction is: Buddy Hammer Jr. Ty Pence Max Burton Kamrin Oriol Tahj Staveskie I would assume Hammer Jr./White and Burton/Barre are the battles for starting spots going into the season, and that Oriol, Staveskie, and Pence can safely be locked in, barring injury.
  11. Zippy87
    Of course they aren't, but do you think that will improve without these $$$ games every year?
  12. Zippy87
    There's a reason MAC schools play these buy games against Big Ten teams - they need the money to fund their programs. The ideas shared sound awesome in theory, but most programs would likely find themselves significantly in the red financially with them.

    Kamrin Oriol - 21/4/3, 40% 3PT Tahj Staveskie - 17/4/4, 37% 3PT That's a heckuva backcourt duo!

    Broughton is...pretty solid?
