Lots of games to play, though. At EMU? It's been so long since I've had to pay attention to the non-Cleveland portion of the MAC Tournament, I forget how the seeding works. Edit: After some research to refresh my memory, 5-8 all host the first round games. For some reason, I thought seeds 5 and 6 still went to the Q automatically.

zippy5 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 To think after all the crap that's happened, we're one 2OT game at BSU and a buzzer beater at Toledo from having a bye. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Good a road game in Ypsilanti with the Zone and James Thompson with no big guy on our end. Better get hot from 3, or we will all be saving a lot of $$ (except Clark who finds free Tix) this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) It would appear that more Miami loses are our only chance of still having a shot to finish outside the Bottom 4, and we still have a remaining home game against them. Does anyone know what the tiebreaker is between Akron and OU? If we end up in the 12th spot, I actually like that we'd be able to take some of our own fans right down the street and play at Kent again.

I believe the tie breaker after head to head, is winning percentage against conference opponent ranked 1 thru 12. In other words, both us and ou are winless against Buffalo Toledo and Ball State so we hold the tie breaker for having a win against BG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 That could be a weird final game if the scenario is: If we win we go to Kalamazoo if we lose we go to Kent. Obviously, beating Kent and taking the momentum to Hawkins and the Broncos I think would be the preferred choice. I'm thinking Kent's going to lose in Athens on Tuesday. NIU (playing Ball State twice) and Central both have brutal schedules these last four games. If we can win 3 out of the next four maybe, just maybe we can get that home game. And Eastern has to play Toledo twice, so they might be looking at bottom 4 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 It would actually be noting new to play Kent the last game of the season, and then play them again a few days later in the Tournament. Unfortunately, those games were always in Cleveland, and not at Kent. I don't know. I just like the idea of being able to go to the game in close proximity in the middle of the week. And Kent is certainly not unbeatable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewbrooman1 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 After tonight's games and first road win! Movin' on up to #10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Since Buffalo choked AGAIN tonight at Miami, we need to hope the either Kent, Miami, or BG loses all of their remaining games, and we win 2 of 3. BG has two away games and a home game with Buffalo. We would have the tiebreaker with them CMU and NIU. Kittens being the wildcard in that scenario.

skip-zip Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Yep. Miami staying at only 6 wins would have probably presented the best chance to still get out of the Bottom 4 It's definitely a real possibility that BG doesn't win another game, considering that schedule.

1981 grad Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Top 4 of the 5 teams are from the western division. Does anyone remember when the east used to be the class of the league? How the mighty have fallen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 So if the tournament were today, we'd play at BGSU in the first round? That's best case scenario if we're unable to get into position for a home game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 It may be a bit too early to see the scenarios clearly, but I thought I would bring this up. If we find a way to beat Miami today, and can avenge the loss to Kent as well on 3/2, we'd finish with a 7-11 record. So, what else would need to happen for us to still have a chance at the #8 Seed? I know multiple teams need multiple losses, but has anyone who knows the tiebreakers, etc., attempted to map this out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) I think first either Bowling Green, Kent, or Miami need to lose the last three games or we need to win our last 3 games If we finish 8-11, we are set. At 7-11, we need a lot of help and a team to totally collapse. The best option is for BGSU to lose their last three games. Unfortunately, we need to count on PCCC to beat them tonight which is well... you know. Edited February 24, 2018 by NWAkron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewbrooman1 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Still #10, but in a 4 way tie for last place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 I think the picture is clearer now. The only team that's still reachable and currently sitting in a Top 8 spot is Bowling Green, and they have to lose their last two games, we have to win our last two games, and we get the spot in front of them because of the tiebreaker. And winning those last 2 games guarantees that we'd also be in front of Central and Northern for that 8th spot, since we own the head-to-head tiebreaker over them. That would only leave OU (we split with them) as the only other team that could get that spot, depending on the tiebreaker with them. So, if we lose to Buffalo this week, we are definitely going to be somewhere between 9 and 12 and have a road game next Monday, no matter what happens anywhere else as the season comes to an end. I think that's right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
