ewbrooman1 Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 OK, here it is with one game to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 If Ball State wins and the Zips win this weekend, we are looking at either Bowling Green or Miami? However, if we lose, I'm seeing a trip to Kalamazoo. If NIU beats Ball State and we lose to Kent, Kent can end up with a first round bye...god forbid. Then we are still looking at going to Muncie or Kalamazoo. If we win and Ball State and Miami win, we would be tied with Ohio. I'm not sure who wins that tiebreaker. Then there would be a Kent and Miami tie breaker. If we have the tiebreaker with Ohio then we would get Bowling Green and Ohio would go to Miami?

Right. A couple of us were discussing the possibility of playing Kent again yesterday. We would end up at #12 in this scenario, and Kent might still be able to slip higher than #5. That would obviously eliminate them as our Monday opponent. But regardless of the desire some of us have to play a first round game at Kent, the only important thing that's happened with these 2 latest losses is that we've now eliminated the chance to get to #8, and get the first round home game. I'll say this. A bus trip to Kalamazoo and back would suck. Especially if we were to pull a major upset and have to play again on Thursday.

GJGood Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 The two teams I think we match up worst with are Ball State and Buffalo. If they end up at 1 and 4 I hope we end up at 10 or 11 so that if we pull of the road upset we are on the opposite half of the bracket from those two in Cleveland. Just my opinion.

LZIp Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Ya'll care way too much about seeding for a team who most likely won't even make it to Cle. Can't think of a less intriguing topic to discuss. Edited February 28, 2018 by LZIp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1981 grad Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I guess I am going to be the optimist in this group. We have had the best team in the MAC and not won the tourney. Based on the last 6 games, we can compete with any team in the MAC. We have just not been able to finish. Groce is fired up over the effort his team is giving him. Maybe some of that energy will flow over to the team. Based on our recent games and as long as we continue to play good defense anything can happen in a tourney game. Still looking to make it to Cleveland. I would love for the trip to start in Portage County. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewbrooman1 Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Just got my MAC Tournament email. If somehow we do make it, I was just going to go with the $20 ticket and migrate to better seats. With the $10 credit per season ticket since we aren't hosting a game, the school tickets are pretty much the same cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I'm thinking of driving up to Ypsilanti and taking the bus to the Q with their 25 or so fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I debated between writing 15 fans or 25 fans. Either way there will be enough room in the bus for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Zeke/Parrish would have been T'ed up with our crappy refs. Without a doubt. Yes I'm still salty about both of those calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) If this helps anything, we are now guaranteed the #11 spot. Even if NOrthern wins tomorrow, we own the tiebreaker. So, who wants to do the math for us and tell us what it takes for Kent to be in the #6 spot? Lets get in a third Akron/Kent rivalry war to add a little excitement before this season is over.

zipsrule Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 I don't think that is correct. If Central loses tomorrow, they will also be 6-12. We hold the head-to-head with Central and with Northern. In that case, we would be the 10 seed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akron and CMU would both be 6-12 and tied for #10, which we'd get. In this scenario we'd play WMU. If CMU beats WMU, Kent would be the #5 seed and we would be #11.

So, there is really no chance of a Kent/Akron game? A long bus trip to Kalamazoo is certainly the least desired scenario, travel wise. We'd be leaving on Sunday, have to travel back if we pull the upset, then play again in Cleveland a couple days later. As a side note, I'm sure you guys all heard what happened up there today, and why this CMU/WMU game is "postponed"? I guess it's time to add even more drama to this season.

UAZip0510 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) Ball State just lost to NIU and potentially cost themselves the #4 seed. Wow. So: If Western Michigan beats Central Michigan, Western gets the #4 seed and #10 Akron will travel to #7 Miami. If Central Michigan beats Western Michigan, Akron is the #11 seed and will travel to #6 Western Michigan.
