Dave in Green Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Many of the other Bracket Buster games involving MAC teams start before the Zips vs. VCU game at 4:00 p.m. Maybe we can keep track of them in this thread while waiting for the Zips.Obviously, nothing here will affect the MAC standings. But the more MAC teams that do well, the better it will be for the Zips' RPI. It's one of those rare days when it's not inappropriate for Zips fans to want Can't to do well, at least from the Zips' RPI perspective.2:00 p.m. -- Buffalo vs. St. Peters, Ball State vs. Tennessee-Martin, Bowling Green vs. Valparaiso2:30 p.m. -- Miami vs. Southeast Missouri State3:05 p.m. -- Western Michigan vs. Southern Illinois3:35 p.m. -- Eastern Michigan vs. Detroit4:00 p.m. -- Ohio vs. Wright State6:00 p.m. -- Toledo vs. Cleveland State6:30 p.m. -- Central Michigan vs. Tennessee State7:00 p.m. -- Northern Illinois vs. Eastern Illinois8:00 p.m. -- Can't vs. Western Carolina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hip Zip Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Most of the MAC teams drew very well in their games. Toledo is an obvious loser and I don't like Western's spot. Other than that, all of the other games can be won. The Wright/OU tilt should be a very good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hip Zip Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 BG is putting a big hurt on Valpo. Next Saturdays game won't be a walk on the beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted February 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Bowling Green, Miami and Ball State all kicking butt. Buffalo and Western Michigan both trailing by a few in close ones. So far the MAC is looking pretty good.EDIT: And just as I post, Buffalo moves ahead.

ZachTheZip Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 The MAC needs a winning record. The Bracketbusters are kind of like bowl games. They don't mean anything, but a win helps the conference look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
