RowdyZip Posted March 5, 2010 Report Posted March 5, 2010 If I had to pick two teams I don't want to see next week, they'd be EMU & OU. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted March 5, 2010 Report Posted March 5, 2010 CMU beats EMU 56-55.Ohio beats BG 82-60. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted March 5, 2010 Report Posted March 5, 2010 WMU beats Ball State 67-52, giving CMU the MAC West championship and the #2 seed in the tournament. Quote
Dave in Green Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Posted March 5, 2010 Miami beats Buffalo, 73-62, to tie for 3rd in the MAC East at 9-7. I believe someone said earlier that Miami gets the 4th seed and bye for beating Buffalo twice. Maybe this latest Buffalo loss will finally drop them behind the Zips in RPI. Quote
Dave in Green Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Posted March 5, 2010 Toledo is unbelievable. They come from behind to take the lead over NIU midway through the second half, and stay ahead until NIU ties it with 20 seconds left. Then NIU wins it, 60-58, on a field goal with 2 seconds left. Quote

Buffalo wins the tie breaker because Zips beat the sweaters twice. Quote
Dave in Green Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Posted March 5, 2010 Thanks for the correction. I should have known better than to trust my faulty memory on that one. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted March 5, 2010 Report Posted March 5, 2010 If Akron wins, the Buffalo gets the #4 seed and Miami is #5. If Akron loses, then Miami gets the #4 seed and Buffalo is #5.This is according to a MAC official. Quote
Zip Watcher Posted March 5, 2010 Report Posted March 5, 2010 If the Chipps won the West as is being reported, the 4 seed will be determined by Friday's game.A Zips win gives UB the 4 seed, where I believe a Zips loss will give Miami the 4 seed .. MU beat CMU, while U@B lost to CMU. CMU is the 2 seed so they come first in the tiebreakers.I think.Go Zips!! Quote

Maybe this latest Buffalo loss will finally drop them behind the Zips in RPI.The Miami error was mine, Dave, you remembered it right. Didn't hose things up too badly other than that.Its set now.1. Akron/Can't2. CMU3. Can't/Akron4. Buffalo/Miami5. Miami/Buffalo6. EMU7. WMU8. Ball State (if they had won they would have been the #2 seed)9. Ohio10. BGSU11. NIU12. Toledo Quote
Quickzips Posted March 5, 2010 Report Posted March 5, 2010 If I had to pick two teams I don't want to see next week, they'd be EMU & OU.At this point, regardless of the outcome tonight we are likely to see one of these two. If we win tonight we match up with the winner of the OU/Ball State matchup in the second round which at this point is likely OU, although Ball State is no slouch and is playing at home. If we lose tonight we take on the winner of NIU/EMU which will almost assuredly be EMU. Right now, the path to the NCAA's for the Zips looks like this:Win tonight:Thursday beat Ohio or Ball State (likely Ohio)Friday beat either Miami, Buffalo or Toledo (probably Miami or Buffalo, too close to call on that one)Saturday beat either Central, Can't, Northern, Eastern, BG or Western (most likely Can't)Lose tonight:Thursday beat Eastern or Northern (likely Eastern)Friday beat either Central, Bowling Green or Western (might as well just flip a coin on this one)Saturday beat either Can't, Miami, Buffalo, Toledo, Ohio or Ball State (again, most likely Can't) Quote
Dave in Green Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Posted March 5, 2010 ..... The Miami error was mine, Dave, you remembered it right. .....No problem. I'm sure I'll make up for remembering that right by getting something wrong in the near future. ;)Not that it really matters that much in the overall scheme of things, but Buffalo's loss finally does drop them behind the Zips in RPI. Zips are now #90 as of this morning, while Buffalo drops to #94.Can't is still the Big Target at #46 (between Marquette and Connecticut) in this morning's revised RPI. Quote
