fan37 Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 And your point is????????? I take it that you think we are going to remain the same or worse-- we have some pretty good recruits coming in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 And your point is????????? I take it that you think we are going to remain the same or worse-- we have some pretty good recruits coming in. You take it incorrectly. My point is that, even if we are a better team in 2005-6, there are others in the MAC East that are not standing still. 20 wins for a team in the MAC East in 2005-6 may be a tougher task than it was in 2004-5. I also assume our non-conference schedule won't be the Ohio State-esque Nov/Dec cake walk it was this year. I have no doubt that we will be a better team in 2005-6. Will we have a better record in 2005-6? We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan37 Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Well, the whole conference is getting better/stronger, as I see it the only teams tha will really struggle are E. & C. Mich, the Tol program might not be as tuff as the past few yrs-- I don't see the MAC declining much in the next few yrs, assuming to coaching changes. Maybe Laing Kennedy at Can't won't have to "sell" the conference to the NCAA tourney, at least we can hope that the conference will speak for itself .

axeme Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I think shifting from 18 conf. games to 16 (10 division, 6 out of division) will help with overall records. BG, CMU, WMU, EMU, UT may have problems. (WMU minus Rost and Reed?) Miami has some big holes to fill and no one right now who can fill them adequately, though I don't doubt they will be tough somehow, some way. The power is all in the East. Ball St should be the favorite in the west, imho, with UT having gaping holes and being in Joplin's last year. Buffalo gradutes a lot, and are without Battle at the point. NIU looked improved as the season went along, but how good will they get? Not a contender that I can see. I think Akron, OU, and we will all be improved from being near the top this year. But all need to imporve to make at-large chances better. This year just didn't get the job done: a pack of teams at 11-7 is a ticket to stay home most years. OOC scheduling and success is critical to at-large chances and with two more games to add into that schedule, we should be better off.
