MAC Basketball 2022-23

Zips have the roughest road to finish the season, having Kent and Toledo on the road and Ball State at home, followed by Ball State who has Toledo and Kent at home with a stop in Akron.    Zips will be the 4th or 5th seed again...maybe make it up to #3 if Ball State stumbles and Zips pick up an away game against Toledo or Kent.  But that seems unlikely.

The MAC has always been a solid BB conference. It's nice to see this season is even more competitive than most with a lot of good teams. Makes the fan experience enjoyable. 

 

I wouldn't be quick to write off the Zips. They can beat anyone in the league. Fans will be in for some ups and downs in the coming weeks. Fasten your seatbelts. The fun is just getting started.

Ball State loses at Western Michigan, 78-68.

watched that.  off game like Kent had at NIU.  Coleman was fancy dribbling at top of key and got picked. Coach Lewis benched him for a while.   Pearson took an ill-advised jump shot...benched.  Zips needed some help and got it.

Bad loss for the Huskies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

14 point lead with 6 minutes left.  20 point lead earlier.   NIU, with lead, took some quick misses.  9 with 3.30 left.  Mirambeaux hits a Big Dog 3 to tie the game.  NIU totally choked but the refs help Travis calling NIU for a very weak charge when Miami player flopped.  NIU had the ball under own basket with 16 seconds.  took an early 3 missed, got rebound, and missed again.  Oy.

I've seen some bogus crap in my day but this gem from Portage County rates highly. It looks like a hand to hand transaction caught live on camera.

Probably was. Carry has a cloud of a specific stench that follows him around when he disguises himself with a hoodie and sunglasses at their women’a games. True story.

It's going to be interesting to see what comes out of this investigation. If Oats knew about this interaction and never disciplined Darius, Oats may see his newly signed contract go poof.

I think the quote from Oats was that it wasn't a big deal and he can't control his players off the court.  Oats always showed us what he was.

It's Alabama...remember.

Nate Oats is scum.  Maybe he could have offered condolences and regret to the victim's family:

 

Nate Oats on his best player bringing a gun to another one of his players and resulting in a murder: “We knew about that. Can’t control everything anybody does outside of practice. Nobody knew that was going to happen. College kids are out, Brandon hasn’t been in any type of trouble nor is he in any type of trouble in this case. Wrong spot at the wrong time.”

Bama's football team is safe as the NCAA cash cow that it is. Making an example of their basketball team, however, is completely on the table, especially since this involves a murder. 

 

Bye Oates.
