Tracker400 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 ONE OF THE MAC MYTHS:Axiom #3: It's tough to beat a team the third time. This one is heard everywhere and seems to be uttered by everyone. On the surface, why would it be any harder to beat a team the third time than the first two? If anything; it's easier. Teams that won the first two meetings against an opponent took the third game an overwhelming 87% of the time (20 of 23). Some of the three-game sweeps are at the expense of bottom-feeders that were beaten by top seeds. What is telling, however, is that two finals have been played in which one team swept the regular season series against the other (Ohio/Buffalo in 2005, Akron/Can't in 2008). In both cases, the team that won the first two games won the third as well. This trend holds among the top-seeded teams that run into each other in the latter stages of the tournament. As the week progresses, tournament talk is sure to fire up around downtown Cleveland. Just remember: Barroom wisdom might just be the opposite of the truth.
