Football as a whole is a crap product right now. It's oversaturated with way too many penalties and relatively predictable outcomes. It will never cease to amaze me how suits with 6-7 figure paychecks ruin everything they touch through greedy desires.

You might be right. I think initial discussions had MVC in the speculation, and that has shifted to the Summit. Ironically, the Summit is currently two spots higher than the MAC in KenPom.

I misunderstood what you were saying. You're correct in that sense, but it's still moving the way of a la carte.

The new Mountain West proves this to be false. It is a conference-by-conference basis.

The MAC is actually 3 spots lower than the Horizon according to KenPom.

They are considering the Horizon and MVC. I believe for their non football sports once the MAC boots them from the conference.

Uhhh... A photo has been released... He definitely deserved the T. Haha.

On the season we have one guy playing more than 25 minutes per game - Nate Johnson with 28.9 mpg. This is quite the contrast to last year when 4 players were over 26 mpg - Enrique Freeman (32.4), Ali Ali (33.1), Tribble (29.2), and Hunter (26.2). It is crucial we maintain this lighter load heading towards March. Our style requires it.

Last required trip to DeKalb ever. Hallelujah.

Miami's message board is a decent read. Trying to talk themselves into being excited about a potential rematch in the Finals. My favorite is the poster or two that didn't know the MAC hasn't had BYEs since 2020. The sweaters have been irrelevant for a long, long time.

The other team should be focused on making sure the last guy off the bench doesn't have a reason to come in. However, if what I heard about Evan's antics is true, he definitely deserved the T (as he admitted to on the court). No, you're not missing anything. The refs blew both ways yet again. Welcome to the MAC. Not only does our commissioner accept a 10 spot drop off in conference power rankings, he accepts less than acceptable officiating as well.

CHALUPAS!

Teeing up Evan Wilson after he makes a 3 in Miami's face is typical MAC ref crap. JAR was rocking after that.

Hardman passing up 3s to drive to the basket wasn't on my bingo card.

Mercy Rule chant from the students 😂

Akron in the bonus for the final 13 minutes. As if Miami needed more ways for Akron to score.

Romeo and JD Brookhart are in attendance.

This is so wrong it makes Kent look right.

Best start imaginable. My scouting report of Miami at the start of the season is holding true. They do not have the athleticism to overcome poor shooting vs athletic, good shooting teams.

Big difference between last year and this year. Kent had deadly shooters last year and Akron did not. We won that title game because we turned the game into a slower contest and Kent didn't make enough shots. Akron is 9 deep with shooters this year and Kent is one of the worst shooting teams in the country. Anything can happen in Cleveland, but Kent being an awful team isn't a joke.

Kent's deal with the devil expired. They shot 3-19 from 3, 35% from the field, and 56% from the line. Unbelievable how bad the MAC is this year. OU won't win many games shooting the way they did tonight with their injuries. O/U was in the 140s I believe. Would've been an easy Under.

Steinbrecher needs sent with NIU.

If this ends up being the case, we might not have to hear "O (clap clap clap) H (clap clap clap) I (clap clap clap) O (clap clap clap)" in Cleveland this year. Without Clayton and Hadaway, they're only contributor over 6'4" is Vic Searls, the Ashland transfer that BobcatAttack wants to put on a one-way train ride to the North Pole. The MAC might be bad enough to keep Kent and Ohio in the Cleveland plans, but a guy can dream, can't he?
