Awesome lineup last year, let's hope it's similar this year.

Thanks to UMBC everyone forgot about Buffalo. I like how it turned out, they got a little respect for the MAC (and themselves obviously) but aren't going to be the Cinderella story through November.

Yep. Thanks for sharing the post, Sarge.
Football & Men's Basketball should not be line-itemed within the Athletics budget. They should be considered a part of the Advertising/Marketing budget.
"Athletics are the front porch of the university. It's not the most important room in the house, but it is the most visible." -Scott Barnes, Director of Athletics at Oregon State.
Scott Barnes is a certified moron. Not that I disagree with that statement

If Akron ever wants to be respected at all on a national level, we will need at least one more MAC team to make a jump with us. Buffalo sure seems like the most likely candidate. Go Bulls (for this specific tournament)!
That's complete and utter "Bull" sht. Gonzaga did it in Tacoma, Washington with a student body of like 6k. Akron doesn't need anyone else to be respected.

Watching this makes me think this should have been us at least once from 2007-2017. Blah

Actually, **** Buffalo. OU getting to the sweet sixteen didn't benefit anyone except themselves.

I'm so torn. It would get the MAC some respect, but then again I don't care much for it if it's Buffalo getting it. I find myself rooting against them, I think.

I think Skip's quote was that they need to get rid of him to save the image of the program. If he would have said he may transfer due to not seeing eye-to-eye with Groce we all probably would have agreed.

So jealous of their arena

Hate to see him go but if he and the coaches didn't see eye to eye then it's for the best. Curious to see how he ends up, he really improved over the year. Luckily we'll have some depth next year, and I'm sure this is no surprise to the staff so they'll have a replacement soon enough I'd assume.

Memphis, SC, and Akron are the one's I've heard most. If Memphis replaces Tubby Smith with Penny Hardaway, it's probably a done deal for him to go there. If they keep Tubby, it could get interesting.

The MAC's issue is we have a few above average teams and a bunch of mediocre ones. It's much better to be a top heavy heavy conference like the WCC if the goal is to get multiple bids.
On another note, the season is over now. Can we put to rest the Duquesne - Akron comparisons please?
Yes and no. It's only better to be in a top-heavy conference if you're at the top.

I think the club team plays at Lee Jackson

Being a non-revenue sport, I'd be shocked if all other MAC baseball schools offered the full 11.7 scholarships.
I know for a fact YSU does, and I'm 99% sure Kent, OU and Miami do.. Knowing YSU does, I would be very surprised if most teams in the MAC weren't at 11.7 or very close to it.
I've heard that possibly 5 would be UA funded and any additional amounts would come from sponsors.. so let's hope there are some sponsors lined up. These are just from my baseball connections, no UA sources so some here may know more than me on this

The A-10 is down troll and the MAC is better using your favorite measuring stick - RPI. Only 2 teams would have been in if it weren't for Davidson winning the tournament. HOW AWESOME. Get a life and don't forget to put your season ticket deposit for the Dookies down, troll.
the foe feature is your friend

To get back on track, since this is a 17-18 thread, and the comment starting this was we were playing our best basketball to end the year.. I think anyone that actually watched the games would agree that was the case. You could make an argument that our best ball was perhaps leading up to halftime of the USC game, but we also had E and Sayles. I'm encouraged by the progress and fight we saw from such a shorthanded team.

This is obviously getting into semantics but citing your last ten as how you finished is going back pretty far in my opinion.. that's over half of your league games.

RPI isn't used anymore and 25 wins is a menaingless number without context on who made up the 25 wins. The MAC hasn't deserved an at-large since 1998.

Buffalo with their third title in 4 years. Hate to say it but they're pretty much what we thought we were going to be. Oats has done a great job.

They wouldn't compete in the Horizon league with 5 scholarships

I know one thing for certain. A bunch of bubble teams' fans will be turning their TVs off after the first segment.

Duvivier has such a nice jumper. Wish he could have been around in better times, but we're really lucky he came for this year.

He's done a heck of a job and we've been lucky to have him.
