I highly doubt it. The MAC is much weaker than in years past. The conference NET rating is currently 15th out of 32 D1 conferences, behind even the Big Sky, Sun Belt, and Summit Conferences, when just a couple years ago the MAC was in the Top 10.
I view tonight as a must win game and will be a good barometer of where the program is at overall. This should be an auto-win but given our circumstances let’s hope to see the girls rally tonight and end the 6 game slump.
Zips fall 82-69 at the Stroh Center. Unfortunately, I think they played about as well as this group is capable of at this point. Kent hosting us on Saturday, let’s hope for a good showing after our boys maul them Friday night.
Welp. So much for that. Hard to win with a 3 point 2nd quarter. Was hoping for a little better effort with Buffalo on deck and a trip to Stroh following. Not sure what to even look to see from the team in its current state at this point. Maybe we can get up for the pair of Kent games in February…
Michigan starts 8/9 from 3 and never looks back in a 96-55 win. Wolverine’s D is just nasty but I honestly think there can be a lot of positives to take into conference play from getting reps in against a team like they faced this afternoon.
