Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 20, 2018 Report Posted November 20, 2018 I thought that was a football score when I saw it. Quote
kreed5120 Posted November 20, 2018 Report Posted November 20, 2018 31-4 would be an odd football score Quote

Let'sGoZips94 Posted November 24, 2018 Report Posted November 24, 2018 Pinky and Crew beat Vandy, 77-75. Vandy sucks anyways... Quote

kreed5120 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 The sample size is small, but based off of Kenpom the MAC outside of Buffalo looks pretty evenly matched. It should be a fun year to watch MAC hoops. KenPom Rankings 40 - Buffalo 96 - Toledo 111 - Ball St 129 - Akron 149 - NIU 155 - Miami 159 - Kent St 162 - Ohio 165 - EMU 168 - CMU 185 - BGSU 212 - WMU 1 Quote
dirtyolcrowe Posted December 2, 2018 Report Posted December 2, 2018 Ohio U beat Marshall 101-84 last night. Is OU that good or did Marshall p#$p the bed! Quote

OU is hard to figure out. They beat Marshall handily, but also lost to South Florida 73-46. They play at Xavier on Wednesday. That may give us an indiction of how good they are. Quote
kreed5120 Posted December 4, 2018 Report Posted December 4, 2018 Updated NET Rankings. For those not aware, this is suppose to be the uniform metric that the selection committee uses this year. 13 - Buffalo 77 - Ball St. 98 - Kent St. 107 - Akron 116 - Toledo 119 - Ohio 155 - Northern Ill. 162 - Miami (OH) 172 - Central Mich. 245 - Western Mich. 249 - Bowling Green 251 - Eastern Mich. 1 Quote
zipsrule Posted December 4, 2018 Report Posted December 4, 2018 Buffalo now listed as a 6 seed on ESPN's bracketology. Quote

So based on this and the early results, this system rewards the tough schedules. Ball State is 5-3 with 3 P5 losses and 5 lesser Mid Major victories. Can't is 7-1 with a victory over Vandy and a loss to a lesser Mid Major, yet there's a 21 spot difference in favor of Ball State. Based on that, Akron should climb assuming they beat IPFW and Marshall, then lose to Nevada (who by the way was #5 last I checked in the polls), correct?

RowdyZip Posted December 5, 2018 Report Posted December 5, 2018 Opening line has the Zips giving the mighty Mastodons 3.5 point tomorrow. A road win is hardly a gimme, so I hope the guys are focused. Would also love to see Riak back. 1 Quote

Generally speaking that is true that tougher schedules are rewarded by Kenpom. If we play Nevada and lose, but over-perform that would move us up more. If we get blown out by 50 points, we will drop down. Right now Kenpom predicts a Nevada 81, Akron 63 result based on the current body of work. https://gamepredict.us/kenpom Edited December 5, 2018 by Illini Zip Quote

NWAkron Posted December 5, 2018 Report Posted December 5, 2018 Canada's dominance is a bit depressing. I can see them easily sweeping the MAC. Very happy we dont get them to February, and we will need to scorch from 3 point land to beat them. I look for PCCC @ Ravenna (Pinky and the Flashes) to knock them off in one of their fluke games.

No MAC team has ever run the table undefeated in conference play. Buffalo is really good, but so is the MAC as a whole this year. They will likely drop 2-3 games in conference play to someone. Quote

When was the last time a MAC squad beat a 4 seed in the NCAA Tourney, or was ranked #17 in the country? I, too, think they'll lose 1 or 2 in MAC play, but this isn't your typical MAC squad. Quote

But agree they are going to be taking out BG and WMU by 30+ points without a sweat. Quote
