Not a problem for me. Since I live in Parma, I'm taking the Rapid Transit from Brookpark Station to Tower City. It beats having to pay for parking and gas up to Downtown Cleveland. Thanks for the info, though.

tournament updated

I guess we all know what the talk will be on ESPN2 tomorrow during the game, and I'm sure it won't be about the game either

Good bye MAC tourney championship, good bye NCAA tournament chances, and hello first round NIT exit. The Quincy suspension looks nothing compared to this now...wish we had Q now for this run...

I thought that CMU had to lose in order for us to get the #2 seed. Akron is 8-0 against the teams in their half of the bracket. Very lucky to have no BGSU, CMU, or Toledo on our half of the bracket. The fact we return 4 of our starters, and practically our entire bench next year, we're one year ahead of schedule. Ruper and Bubna are only ones that will not be back next year, and the incoming freshmen class will make practices almost tougher than majority of the MAC games next season. Our bench could win 7-9 games on their own in the MAC next season. Wonder where I heard that before...

Coach Kest said #2 seed

First time since 03-04 that Bowling Green doesn't have at least a share of the MAC East title. Coach Kest has done an amazing job with this program. Lady Zips will have either the #2 or #3 seed in the MAC tournament. If it's #2 seed, they will be playing on MAC semifinal friday. Should head out earlier to see the Lady Zips and make it an Akron basketball full day in Cleveland!!!! And with any luck, we'll have both teams playing for a MAC title on saturday!!!!!!!! Friday would be a 2:30pm tip-off for #2 seed, if Lady Zips get the bye to semifinals. *Only reason for not knowing if it's a #2 or #3 seed for Lady Zips seed, is confusing tie breaker rules*

and put them on the same side as Ball State and Miami, which is better than being on same side as Toledo, Central Michigan, and Bowling Green.

7:17 remaining in the 2nd half Akron 67 Buffalo 48 Someone told me for a 3 way tiebreaker, it's record vs. division. Not sure how that would help with 2 MAC West and a MAC East school, but apparently Akron comes out on top in this tiebreaker...

you're right...I had a Can't moment...Anyways, Akron taking care of business in Buffalo. Toledo taking care of Ball State. All comes down to if Eastern Michigan can pull out a win against Central Michigan... 11:57 remaining in 2nd half Akron 57 Buffalo 34 Lady Zips 12 minutes away from first ever (outright) MAC East title in program history!!!! Last time a MAC East title was won outright by someone other than Bowling Green, was 2003-2004...

that's what I thought, but everyone else i hear from says differently. Even CMU's WBB twitter account said that if Ball State doesn't beat Toledo, and both Akron and CMU win, CMU gets #4 seed and Akron gets #3 seed. Just don't see how since CMU wins the head-head matchup... 15:31 left in 2nd half Akron 52 Buffalo 27

Akron and Buffalo announcer said all that needs to happen for a two seed is an Akron win and a Ball State loss...MAC needs to make it easier for us fans to figure out these tiebreakers...thought i understood it, but so confused right now...

Halftime scores Akron 45 Buffalo 24 Toledo 35 Ball State 14 Central Michigan 30 Eastern Michigan 28 Northern Illinois 25 Western Michigan 25 Miami(OH) 33 Ohio 32 Bowling Green 16 Can't State 14

2:54 remaining in 1st half Akron 38 Buffalo 24 Luburgh has half of Akron's points right now with 19 points...7/8 FG, 3/4 3PFG, 2/2 FT, and 2 rebounds

7:06 remaining in 1st half Akron 31 Buffalo 16 Hanna Luburgh has 16 points in the first half already.Player of the Year candidate, Rachel Tecca, only has 2 points. This team really wants that outright MAC East title and that #2 seed...

11:29 remaining in 1st half Akron 21 Buffalo 6

thanks! Just trying to figure out what teams to root for tonight!!!!

Akron Lady Zips play at Buffalo tonight. With a win, a Central Michigan loss(just to make sure) and a Ball State loss, would give Akron the #2 seed. Toledo hosts Ball State on senior night, so that will be tough for Ball State to win. Expecting the Ball State loss. Central Michigan plays at Eastern Michigan, and will be tough game to win. Expecting a C. Michigan win. Akron at Buffalo will be tough, but Lady Zips should come out of this with a win. Not sure how it works, but I thought if CMU, Akron, and Toledo win tonight, Akron would get the #3 seed. However, someone told me If Toledo and Akron wins, and CMU wins, Akron gets #2 seed. If headaviatorrowdie or anyone else could clarify this for me on the tiebreakers, it would be appreciated. MAC stream for Akron-Buffalo WBB game tonight

seeding updated

Actually, if we lose to Buffalo, CMU loses to EMU, and Bowling Green defeats Can't State, it would be a 3 way tie for seeds 3-5. Bowling Green would have a 2-1 record against CMU/Akron, CMU 1-1 against BGSU/CMU, and Akron 1-2 against CMU/BGSU. So Akron would be 5th seed with that. At least that's how I thought the seeding would work...
