The same would have been true for the MAC had Buffalo lost to CMU or BG. Both conferences had 1 at-large caliber team. If you don't believe me, just look at Buffalo's seed compared to VCU, dumbass. AGAIN your words not mine You said the MAC had the best season in 20 years. HOW you dumb f Edited March 17, 2019 by dre22era Quote

HOW you dumb f That's factually correct. Our tournament champion got a 6 seed. I believe Kent got a 9th seed in '02. Pretty much every other year since 2000 our conference champion has been a 12-15 seed. Which year(s) since 2000 are you trying to say are better than this year? Quote

Kent was a 10 seed that year but all you are talking about are Conference Champions = 1 Team thats it. In the past 15 years there have been many MAC worthy enough of an at large bid and thats my argument. The MAC continues to get shitted on period. Quote

dre22era Posted March 17, 2019 Report Posted March 17, 2019 we are a joke and yall are fine with it. The MAC ties a conference record by getting 1 team into the NCAA Tournament. #SelectionSunday— McNeil (@Reflog_18) March 17, 2019 Quote

When I'm saying this was the best year the MAC has had in 20 years I'm not referring just to Buffalo. I'm looking as the conference as a whole spots 1-12. Yes, there have been some years in the last 20 years where the MAC's 2nd best team was better than Toledo this year. Quote

Thats not admitting nothing and trust me you be surprised how much I donate to UA annually. I rep my Alma mater but I be damn if I don't call them out on their bullshit when warranted especially the MAC Quote

The MWC is the only conference ranked below that MAC that had 2 at-large caliber teams. All the others were the product of bid thieves. 1 Quote
akronzips71 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Posted March 17, 2019 Toledo Net ranking #62 does not get in 25-7 Arizona State #63 22-10 in St. Johns Net #73 21-12 IN MAC Conf is bullshit. Total bullshit. 1 Quote

Honestly, I feel a good place to start is by programs like EMU, NIU, and Miami actually start to invest in their basketball programs. Miami was once the face of MAC. It's incredible to see how much they've fallen in the last 20 years. Quote

Of course they are all too often the same people who say the program is worthless yet expect the same worthless program to be of value to a better conference. Quote

I just figured I'd actually provide something towards having a productive discussion instead of endless rants. Quote
akronzips71 Posted March 18, 2019 Report Posted March 18, 2019 Maybe we need to drop to a lower conference we can dominate. 1 Quote
