    Very interesting group of games tonight for the MAC.

     

    PCCC @ EMU - Kent looking to get back to .500 in MAC play and get ahead of the 8-seed race.

     

    WMU @ OU - WMU is part of the 4-5 mess and OU isn't much better at 5-4.

     

    Miami @ CMU -  CMU is also part of the 4-5 mess. Miami is an underdog going into Mt. Pleasant. 

    Really think Central takes down Miami tonight. 

  3. Game 22- Ball State

    Yeah, Sparks is solid and Pearson is a nice piece as well. I honestly can't figure out why they're not better than they are. We need to be careful with this one. Ball State has a legit inside presence that other MAC teams lack. It's a natural letdown spot as well after playing so well at Kent. 

     

    I'll take the 14' points here but won't be sad if we drill them a new one.

  7. Keeping up with the Three D's (Dambrot, Dru & Duquesne)

    No NIT appearances, not NCAA appearances, and I believe no finish higher than 5th in the A10 since his arrival. The A-10 is weaker than when he arrived too as they are now a basically 1-2 bid league annually. He definitely took them out of the basement, but they aren't real contenders. I think I read on their board he's averaging something like 6-7 players entering the transfer portal every year since his arrival. Lot of turnover.

    Damn right. He could have stayed here and become a  legend. Instead he  uprooted his family and chased the dollar. I have little respect for his legacy.

    Duquesne really ramped up spending on the basketball side. They paid Dambrot significantly more than their previous coach. They gutted their arena and pretty much replaced everything new. I have to imagine their plan was to be a top 3-5 team in the A10 with 1-2 tourney appearances by now. 

     

    I wouldn't say his tenure has been a complete disaster, but I have to imagine it has fallen short of what they expected.

     

  12. Zips MAC Tournament- 2023

    I'll take Reghi over two stooges from ESPN calling a game from their damn homes everyday.  He might be a bit repetitive and a doofus but he's our doofus. He has a passion for the MAC and I give him tons of credit for ditching the spray-on hair.

     

    Call me a simple SOB but  that's good enough for me.

    If we don’t beat EMU by 30 I’m going to donate my MAC tournament tickets to a children’s charity. I mean, Groce is losing this team. Out of control. 

    The Hurons have been playing everybody tough since they left town. I think they have covered every spread in the last 3 weeks or so. This one won't be the breeze the first tilt was. I'm guessing your post was sarcastic in nature but I think this will be a tough one.
