Brimfield Career Center gets BG tonight.  Should be an interesting one.

That's almost better than Garrettsville State.  Thank you for letting us know.  Will definitely watch that one.  Miami hung in there with Toledo.  Owens maybe turning the corner.

Or Toledo benefitted from playing more games early on than the majority of other MAC schools, and that gap is closing as the rest of the MAC warms up with a more consistent schedule.

Miami's improvement is even more impressive given that their leading scorer Sabande bailed.

A couple of their transfers in recent years are playing well where they ended up. 

 

2017 MAC Freshman of the Year Michael Weathers is scoring 14.6 points per game for Texas Southern

His brother Marcus Weathers has been one of the best players for an Atlantic 10 program known as Doo-Cane for 3 years

Jalen Adaway is third for St. Bonaventure in scoring

Had to take a look at Nike Sabande.  Looks like he made the same mistake as OU's PG from a few years back when he went to Michigan for his senior year.

I feel Toledo is a pretty good. From what I've seen I'd say Toledo, Akron, and BG are the three best teams in the MAC this year. The MAC as a whole though is much weaker than it has been the past few years. Last years Akron team would have stream rolled this conference. 

If this years team hadnt had the late start, likely undefeated in league play.

Michael Flowers, after a contentious split with WMU that almost prevented him from playing this year, is scoring 22+ ppg for South Alabama.

7 mins left down by 5 and BG player comes down twice and shoots a 3 without passing and misses.  Totally avoids Turner or Plowden. Groce amd Ford would have lost their minds  Brimfield School of Fashion Design wins so many games when the other teams just fucks it up at the end.

Not good at math, but I think we are in control of our own destiny once again.

If we win out, we would be tied with Toledo but have two wins over them, therefore MAC CHAMPS AGAIN.

 

Akron has the defense to make this happen, but road games in Canada, Toledo around the corner, and down in Athens make this a high hill to climb. The bigger question is this: quite likely have to play one of these same four in the semis in Cleveland on a neutral floor. Which one is the best/worst semi opponent. OR, which two would you rather play (semis/finals) ...
