Since when did this change? I thought we were locked into Canada?

We were locked into the four five game, opponent was yet to be determined but it looks like that's moot now.

PCCC is so overdue to take a big dump.  I predict it will happen Friday at the latest.

That was their first pedestrian shooting performance (high 30s percentage wise from both the field and beyond the arc) against a top team in a long while, yet they luck out with Buffalo shooting 28% from 3. 

 

Pinky sold his soul to the basketball devils this year...

Looks like its Akron vs Buffalo Thursday

[ewbrooman1]

Has anybody heard/seen anything about an Ohio Lottery BOGO promotion this year yet?

I like our chances if we can win the first 3

Bobcat Attack is yet again a must read.

[zipsrule]

For kicks, I compared the pre-season poll to the final standings.  While the order is a little different, the top 5 teams are correct.

Who's going to start the New MAC Coaches for 2022-23 thread?  We can start with Michael Huger's replacement.

Didn't he sign a 3-year extension last year.

 

Unless somebody moves on (TK???) really don't see any coaching moves this season.

So we still technically over-achieved, despite getting literally nothing and then basically nothing from two key players we expected to have this year - one who prior to the start of the season, we may have reasonably assumed would be our best player.  Well done Groce and team. The future looks bright.

 

With that said, it will be a tough road in Cle, but I at least really want to get over the Buffalo hump up there.

What are we thinking for All-MAC?

 

My 1st team prediction will be:

 

Sears

Carry

Rollins

J. Williams

Freeman

 

POY: Carry

FOY: Sparks

COY: Pinky ( 🤮 )

6th man: Santiago

DPOY: To be honest, no idea. Maybe Jacobs from Kent?

I would think Jacobs or Freeman is DPOY. Freeman is 2nd in the MAC in blocks and 1st in rebounds.

Looking at the conference only stats, Toledo has an advantage in that only one of their players (Dennis) is in the top 15 of minutes played.  Milner and Rollins and Shumate are at 18, 20, and 22.    Meanwhile, Ravenna's Carry and Jacobs are in the top 5.  My gut tells me that Miami is going to put up a tougher fight against Ravenna than Central is against Toledo.

 

And I still believe that Ohio blew through the tourney last year because they had fresher legs and minds.  This year they are tired and are collapsing at year end.

 

Toledo is #1 in offense by a lot an Zips are #1 in defense by 1.3 points.

Ohio doesn't have Preston this year, either. That kid was a special talent.

If anyone finds cheap tourney ticket deals, post them here.

 

I know...Verizon in Macedonia...🙃 (I actually did get free tickets there a few years back).

I also heard something about the Verizon in Macedonia but other than that...I got nothing.

Scroll to the Mac Tournament and use the promo code ARIZZO

Apparently the MAC doesn't have the money to repaint the floor and eliminate the old women's 3 pt line.

[bUAkronG]

CMU running out of time to get back in the game, down 7 with 3 and a half to play.

 

Every time they score Toledo answers right back with a 2 or 3

[bUAkronG]

Toledo misses 2 FTs with 1 min to play and CMU gets an and-1 to bring it to 1.

 

Toledo misses their next shot and CMU grabs the board

 

CMU ball with a chance to take the lead with 32 seconds left and 24 seconds on the shot clock

[kreed5120]

CMU up 71-70

 

EDIT: 20 seconds left, but Toledo has the ball
