LoyalZIP Posted February 1, 2023 Report Posted February 1, 2023 Toledo pulls out a close one at Miami EMU is figuring things out Kent pulls away Ball State and NIU weather comebacks by their opponents at home and come away with the road kill Quote
NWAkron Posted February 1, 2023 Report Posted February 1, 2023 Total fail by BGSU at home. CMU had a chance but missed FTs and Suffield Tech pulled away. There's going to be a meltdown in Nelsonville Quote

zippy5 Posted February 1, 2023 Report Posted February 1, 2023 I'd like to avoid Eastern in the first round Quote
LoyalZIP Posted February 4, 2023 Report Posted February 4, 2023 Tuned into Ohio vs. Miami. Combined 4-14 in the league. Lots of close losses between the teams. Quote

Announcers did a recap of last night's MAC games, and were gushing over Emoni's performance. They then mentioned that Can't never led the entire time, and got as close as 4 in the 2nd half, but literally never mentioned Akron except for "in the Rubber City." Puke. Quote

Puke. that's fine. who picks the MAC POY? coaches or media? If it's media, being the cynic that I am, I could imagine som $$ and pressure floating around for a Bates pick. Quote
NWAkron Posted February 4, 2023 Report Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) Really happy BG hired and extended Huger. NIU schooling them at the Stroh Center. NIU had 52 points with 16 minutes left. PCCC had a grand total of 55 for the game. BG making a comeback which falls flat. Edited February 4, 2023 by NWAkron Quote
NWAkron Posted February 5, 2023 Report Posted February 5, 2023 as of tonight. OU would be the same as the cancelled 2020 first round. 1. Akron 2. Kent State 3. Toledo 4. Ball State 5. NIU 6. Buffalo 7. Bowling Green 8. Ohio Quote

If it's media, being the cynic that I am, I could imagine som $$ and pressure floating around for a Bates pick. MAC POY is as much a team award as it is a player one. Whoever wins it is pretty much always on one of the top 3 teams. It would be news to me if a player on a team with a losing record won it. Quote
LoyalZIP Posted February 5, 2023 Report Posted February 5, 2023 Here’s the list of All-Time MAC POY winners: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-American_Conference_Men's_Basketball_Player_of_the_Year I suppose Bates could get it if they start winning, but they’ll have to do a lot of winning and he’ll have to put up even better numbers. I remember the “controversy” of Big Dog getting it in 2017 over Marcus Keene from CMU, who was the leading scorer in the country. 1 Quote
NWAkron Posted February 6, 2023 Report Posted February 6, 2023 Tomorrow night: really surprised that Ohio is a -3 favorite over NIU at the DeKalb Triangle. And Buffalo, -8.5 over EMU. Although, I'm happy to see EMU keep losing so they are sitting home come March. Quote
zippy5 Posted February 7, 2023 Report Posted February 7, 2023 We're a 14 seed in Lunardi's most recent bracket, against Shaka Smart's Marquette team in... Columbus. That would be juicy. Not that anything will stay the same over the next 5-6 weeks. Quote

zippy5 Posted February 7, 2023 Report Posted February 7, 2023 watch yourself or I'll create a whole thread for it Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Report Posted February 7, 2023 Fox has us as a 13 seed facing Kansas State. Lunardi is an overpaid moron with a historically poor track record. He's the Mel Kiper of college basketball. Quote

kreed5120 Posted February 7, 2023 Report Posted February 7, 2023 It's really pointless to have a discussion about seed without knowing the field. Using the Summit League as an example, if Oral Roberts wins their conferences bid, they most certainly deserve to be seeded ahead of Akron. All the other teams in that conference stink so Akron would be seeded ahead of any other of those teams. Quote
zippy5 Posted February 7, 2023 Report Posted February 7, 2023 Bracket Matrix is probably the best since it aggregates them all. Our average seed there is 13.2 but not everyone has updated to put us in over Kent yet http://www.bracketmatrix.com/ Quote

MDZip Posted February 10, 2023 Report Posted February 10, 2023 While this is way looking ahead this is applicable to all the MAC. MAC is generally assigned between an 11 and 14 seed (on occasion higher or lower but that's generally where they fall). Host cities for those seeds this year include Columbus, Greensboro, Albany, Denver, Orlando and Des Moines. Not to terrible to get to any one of them for MAC schools. Come on Zips, no west coast trips for the NCAAs this year. Let's do this. 👊 Quote
