Interestingly Toledo is not included in the makeup games which I think means the Zips have a chance to have an even number of games with them. If the Zips win out (I know a tall order) I believe that would give them the #1 seed.

Not that it is any big surprise but the Zips and Rockets have both clinched berths to Cleveland. And a few new schedule updates - as we guessed Feb 23rd is going to be used for some makeups. Sunday, February 21 Western Michigan at Ball State -- From Tuesday, January 5 to Sunday, February 21 at 7 PM (ET) Tuesday, February 23 Miami at Central Michigan – From Saturday, January 2 to Tuesday, February 23 at 5 PM (ET) Buffalo at Northern Illinois -- From Saturday, January 23 to Tuesday, February 23 at 7 PM (ET) Bowling Green at Eastern Michigan -- From Tuesday, February 2 to Tuesday, February 23 at 7 PM (ET) Akron at Ohio -- From Tuesday, February 9 to Tuesday, February 23 at TBD Wednesday, February 24 Kent State at Ball State – From Tuesday, January 26 to Wednesday, February 24 at 2 PM (ET) Thursday, February 25 Miami at Western Michigan – From Saturday, January 16 to Thursday, February 25 at Noon Central Michigan at Buffalo – From Tuesday, January 26 to Thursday, February 25 at 2 PM (ET) Eastern Michigan at Ohio – From Saturday, February 6 to Thursday, February 25 at TBD Friday, March 5 Ohio at Bowling Green – From Saturday, February 20 to Friday, March 5 at 7 PM (ET)

Jackson is back in he's fine.

So I've been searching for anything that would tell me what the MAC will do with all of the games to be made up. There is no way to make them all up with some teams still sitting at nine games played and others at 14. Everyone has Feb 23rd open so they could make up one game but would it make sense not to match up the teams that have played the most games, in other words should the Zips, BGSU, Toledo and Kent sit it out to let everyone else get another game in. It is pretty apparent they are just going to go with best win percentage at this point for the standings/seeding. I've not seen anything out of the MAC office on their plan. And also one nit on eliminating divisions. If you're going to do it don't still have all of the East teams play each East team twice and all West teams play each West team twice. With a 20 game schedule you play only two teams only once. Make that random as to who those two teams are since it matters almost zero in the standings any more.

Come on RedHawks you can take down the Rockets! Zips have now beaten every team in the league except Da Bulls. And hopefully they go by the wayside here soon.

Must be working some - only 1-3 on threes in this half

Three and a half minutes and only one point has been scored by either side. But with the Zips up by 8 now I'm ok if that continues

Our brief 50-49 lead has been our only lead of the game

Then I hope we don't get the top seed - that would be a noon start ?

Zool Kueth (wasn't he one of the evil spirits in Ghostbusters? ;-)) is 4-4 on threes. Need a bit more defense on him I'd just be guessing.

NIU up 45-41. They have been up by as many as 11

Wow I can't imagine Groce will be too pleased at the half. Good news is since NIU only averages 59 a game they are due for a 14 point second half. Sheez

If I was home I'd be able to watch this. But here its just Gamecast. Damn 2:00 start times. At least back to back Wynn and Trimble threes has made it close.

And it went straight in It didn't ricochet off the backboard. #stillbitter ??

Since the MVP of that game intercepted two passes and did not return both for touchdowns Dwight absolutely should have been MVP. Damn early voting!

Fun to be up by more points than Kent has scored. ?

This is going to sound weird but I'm disappointed by this. First for the kid, sucks to miss a season but also for the Zips it's much more fun to beat Kent when they are at full strength. ? Nuga is a good player. Heck of a rebounding guard too.

Somebody needs to get on man bun apparently.

Certainly making things interesting down to a four-point lead. And LCJ getting people in foul trouble by driving to the hoop ...

We did know a few of those folks didn't we? But where is South Carolina Upstate? Ah, they're movin' on up - to 304.

Ah what might have been - only one loss and to the A-10 leader. I imagine there was a significant penalty losing the the 323rd and 333rd ranked teams in the nation. ?

Except for this year when there is a possibility of no MAC tournament. This game could be huge

I don't know if I'm just attuned to these or not but I found another one. In an old episode of King of Queens, the character played by the recently deceased Jerry Stiller found a copy of the Akron Beacon Journal at a newsstand. Of course in the same episode they mentioned the genius of Kevin Spacey so maybe that one's not going to age all that well.

St. Bonaventure currently leading the Atlantic-10 and has one loss on the season. Not looking like such a terrible loss. EMU and NIU on the other hand, yes those were terrible losses.

You do you man - proudly. ?
