UAZip0510 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 My Predictions: 1st Round - Bowling Green over Northern Illinois, Akron over Eastern Michigan, Buffalo over Central Michigan, Ohio over Toledo 2nd Round - Western Michigan over Bowling Green, Akron over Miami, Can't State over Buffalo, Ohio over Ball State 3rd Round - Akron over Western Michigan, Can't State over Ohio Final - Akron over Can't State Some random thoughts... - Akron has to be happy with their bracket. The toughest matchup before the final is Miami, who they should be able to beat. They match up well with the Redhawks, as well as Western Michigan and Bowling Green. Their worst matchups - Ohio, Can't State, and Buffalo - are all on the other side of the bracket. - For being a #1 seed, Can't State will have a tough road. Buffalo is a tough one, as is a potential matchup with Ohio. If they get past those two, they probably get Akron or Miami, another tough matchup either way. - Ohio gets a pretty favorable road. Toledo will be a gimme and Ball State shouldn't be a problem. They shouldn't get seriously tested until the semi-finals. - Call me a homer, but I really, really like our chances. The bracket sets up nicely for the Zips, especially if Ohio is knocked out before the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAZipster0305 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I agree, the bracket is highly favorable for us. However, we have to take it one game at a time and be prepared to play 40 full minutes of every game. A single (typical) 10 minute scoring drought in any game could have us exiting stage right. First up is an EMU team that has already beat us once. Let's get focused! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
