Bob Huggins will be in the building to see his former assistant Frank Martin. Hope the zips shout him out to give a big crowd reaction

The biggest of chokes

Thankful for the week off. MAC good nothing better at the moment

CMU and Toledo lose (JMU win which helps) 3-8 12-12. Going to come down to us and Ohio

The streak lives. Miami goes to 24-0 3-6 12-10

2-6 11-10 Buffalo is also dead

2-5 11-9 BG is dead

Should’ve not even came down to that

Kent looked terrible. Griffith messed up his ankle. They might be cooked 2-4 11-8

Ball State wins! 2-3 11-7. Bottom of the MAC is carrying right now

WMU loses. 1-3 10-7

NIU gets their final win in the MAC-SBC. 1-2. 10-6 overall. Magic number is 4

That’s Evan Wilson coaching for you!

Coastal won on a game winning 3. 0-2

Damn I must’ve remembered incorrectly. For some reason I thought they got a home game

App state beat EMU. 0-1

Correction: this is currently a Q2!

This game is a fringe Q2/Q3 for us. If Troy goes on a run and wins the sun belt it’ll definitely be a Q2 out of conference road win which we have wanted for a while now. I know nobody wants to hear the 3 letters NIT. But if Kent can get two homes games with their mid NET last year we can have home court til the semis if we win today and only lose to Miami. Just something I think about as a NET watcher. Alright I’m going back to curling and hockey. See yall at 6

Despite the difference the road trip has been historically difficult for our teams so I hope we can over come

Updated NETs going into Saturday now that the MAC and Sun Belt have finished their first games of the week. These games could be the difference between a Q4 result becoming a Q3 for a Q3 becoming a Q2 for Akron. Every win helps! For teams like Buffalo and BG it's a chance to try move up one more time and get into the NIT now that has it has basically become a mid-major tournament.

First time in a long time I’ve seen the rowdies actively promote a women’s game. Glad it worked out

Peak MACtion

Groce said on Saturday this game will be a let down game. So I won’t lose sleep over it. I’ll take a let down win

Bumping this thread. Round 1 the MAC went 9-4. The MAC needs 5 wins on Saturday to clinch the Belt and be crowned the superior conference. SB won year 1 and year 2 was a tie. Historically the home teams have done very well during round 2. The long road trip messes up these teams. Akron is 0-2 on the road during the MAC-SB (JMU and Arkansas St).
