GJGood Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 While we are carrying the mantle for the conference on the main stage, other MAC schools will continue playing as well.Bowling Green recieved a #8 (out of 8) seed in the NIT and will travel to Creighton.I have also seen that our arch nemisis from Portage County was selected to play in the inaugural CIT and will be travelling up to Oakland University in Michigan for a Tuesday night game.I would have to think that Can't State's inclusion in the CIT means that Buffalo will be in the CBI field and that there is a good chance Miami will be as well. As of this moment, the CBI website says nothing.So, will you all be cheering for all of ur MAC brethren or just pick and choose who to root for?Personally, I'll be cheering for Bowling Green because a good MAC showing in the NIT could garner some attention. I will root for Buffalo because I like their program as a whole as much as any of our MAC rivals. With Miami and Can't State it depends on who they match up with. I have no strong feelings either way about Can't State @ Oakland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZippyTuba11 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 If Miller is as hot as he was in the second half of the Akron tourney game, BG might have a chance at a good upset there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I will cheer for any MAC team that has a shorter police record than its opponent, or whose student body and alumni do not believe that they are genetically superior to others in the MAC. So potentially two of those teams may have to get by without my support. The others rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zips fan Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Charlie Coles mentioned that Miami was not interested in the CIT or CBI tournament due to injuries with the current roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Of course, it bothers me that BG gets a rock-bottom #8 seed in the NIT.....being the regular season champ of the MAC. I guess that shows how much respect the MAC is getting these days. I'll root for BG, but I can never root for Can't. BG being successful in the NIT is the only one that's going to matter in terms of either of them being in a position to bring any respect to our league.

MDZip Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I want Can't's streak of 20 win years to end. They didn't deserve it this year and just because some other new tournament got added, they get a chance to extend it. Go Oakland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I heard Frenchy say on WNIR this morning that Oakland is undefeated at home this year, so that's in our favor. I'll definitely be rooting for BG and U@B though.

IBleedMACGreen Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 We will be tracking the results and matchups for each MAC team in postseason tournament play. I researched ESPN and Fox Sports for a Akron Tourney page but nothing earlier today so I added another site I am familiar with for the Akron Tournament preview linked on the VanDelay page. Best of luck to the Zips in the Big Dance!> MAC Basketball teams in 2009 Postseason Tournaments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valpo Zip Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Is there a way for us (non travelers) to watch the whole game or would we have to just watch 3 minutes from each game on Thursday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
