dboze Posted August 30, 2012 Report Posted August 30, 2012 The MAC Conference just posted the Men's & Women's Conference schedule for the 2012-2013 season. 2012-2013 Conference Schedule Quote
taxpayer Posted September 5, 2012 Report Posted September 5, 2012 Will the bracket buster game on January 23rd be a home or away game? Why Tuesday games on January 5th (at home vs CM) and March 5th (at home vs Miami)? Quote
plowerman78 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Posted September 5, 2012 bracketbuster this season is home Quote
BirdZip Posted September 5, 2012 Report Posted September 5, 2012 Maybe I missed a previous discussion on this, but the schedule appears all jumbled up this year. It appears that we open MAC play with three games against the West, then start flip-flopping between the West and East teams until the final 5 games. Anyone know what the reasoning was for the change? Quote

Anyone know what the reasoning was for the change? I think they're trying to eliminate divisions in basketball (there's really no need for them). I like it. Playing six MAC West teams in a row is awful to watch, and I'm sure the West teams don't look forward to running a gauntlet in the middle of the season, either. Quote
zippy5 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Posted September 6, 2012 Regarding BracketBusters, we're owed home games from Valpo and ORU, right? Any others? Quote
zippyfan34 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 Full schedule up on Gozips without gametimes. http://www.gozips.com/sports/mbkb/2012-13/schedule Do we really need to play Tiffin, Malone and John Carroll all in the same season? I realize two of the games are exhibitions. Have some decent out of conference opponents coming to the JAR in Princeton, Cleveland State, and Middle Tennessee. Quote

John Carroll is a regular season game however. Quote
Dave in Green Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 More early season games, including two exhibitions against lower division opponents, will provide good practice for the Zips going into the PR tournament, where they will face some of their toughest opponents of the season. These early games will be even more critical if Pat Forsythe's hardship waiver request is approved by the NCAA and he gets to play this season. Having a chance to become familiar with the Zips playing style in four games prior to facing Oklahoma State increases the likelihood that Forsythe might make meaningful contributions that would increase the chances of the Zips to pull some upsets in PR.

Quickzips Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 Zips have to hope that they can do some damage in San Juan, because this is FAR from a schedule that is built for getting at-large consideration. Very disappointing given the level of talent we have coming back this year. While MTSU, Creighton, CSU and Princeton are all nice solid mid-major programs, even if you win all 4 of those it won't be enough to get you there. John Carroll as a regular season game is just absolutely unacceptable. Outside of San Juan this schedule does absolutely nothing to challenge this years edition of the Zips. It will take minimum 28 wins during the regular season and a heck of a good bracket buster matchup for that schedule to even sniff a hint of bubble consideration. Two things holding this program back from gaining more of a fanbase in NEOhio: 1) The JAR 2) Going into every season treating it like the only chance you have at the dance is 4 days at the Q in March. If KD doesn't believe the regular season matters, why should I? Quote

Talk about killing your RPI Quote

zippyman23 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Regarding BracketBusters, we're owed home games from Valpo and ORU, right? Any others? Just ORU. Valpo returned the game a couple years ago. Quote
Zipsrifle Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 So what's the deal with Playing Can't State twice right before the tournament? Is that a typo? Quote
Aaron Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 So what's the deal with Playing Can't State twice right before the tournament? Is that a typo? Not quite a typo, from what I understand it's an undetermined date (waiting on tv coverage perhaps?) My understanding is that the game will be either on Friday or Saturday. Quote
lance99 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 Did you even read my post? I did, that was meant to be a joke. I guess that it was a bad one Quote
taxpayer Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 We need Valpo in the JAR this year while the memories of last years game are still fresh in the Zips locker room. Coach D wouldn't have to say much, just play the video for the team. We could also get 3 relatives of our coaching staff to ref the game so Valpo would feel at home. Quote
