Yeah. win 18 in a row - then lose by 50 to VCU.. Probably makes a lot of casual fans think the MAC wins are a mirage. And can we blame them? Then losses like IPFW and Green Bay the other year.. Doesn't help.
Slow down Weatherspoon inside and force Juice to take 20 shots. Hopefully he doesn't pull a Willie Alvarez, but that'd be my game plan. Hope Pat and Big Dog are up for it.
Look at the 2012-2013 season. That was a lot, and the attendance was way up and breaking records. 8-4 in the MAC isn't turning any heads.. Either dominate the MAC or beat some teams out of conference. Our friend Joe Akron doesn't care how many times we beat Arkansas Pine Bluff and the directional Michigans.
2-7 on the road isn't gonna win a MAC title. Maybe "acceptable" wasn't the right word. But is 2-7 on the road something we should really be happy with? I mean, that's 11-7 if you go undefeated at home. Say what you want, but that's not up to par for what KD has built here. 4 or 5 puts you in the driver's seat.
Right or we could have won both road games against sub-200 RPI teams and have 4.. If we want to win a MAC championship - I'd say 2-7 isn't gonna cut it.
Seriously. Don't wanna name names.. but there were 3 people behind the hoop that I thought were 25 when I was a freshman in 2006. Wtf, get a job. One of them wears a gold sport coat.
Unless I'm missing something, you're not taking into account the teams the AAC are playing IN conference. If the MAC was 80-50 OOC with the AAC OOC schedule - while also playing quality teams after January - I'd imagine the RPI # would be a lot higher than .5220
