MAC-SB Battle for the Belt II

[csims0917]

Welcome back to a brand new season ZipsNation! We have a special treat for the kickoff of the new year. Mac Vs Sun belt action. 12 games in one day starting from 6-8pm. Every MAC win helps the Zips and the MACs reputation. Hopefully having the away games first will give us an advantage and we can squeeze out 5-6 wins so we can capitalize in February! Go Zips! Go MACtion! And enjoy a great night of fun. (And let me get way too invested in this!)

Athleticism is going to be a problem for Miami OH this year. 

[csims0917]

Miami is holing strong. Toledo off of a slow start 

[csims0917]

I don’t think I’ve ever watched a boring App State game. Miami up 1 at half. Toledo woke up 

[csims0917]

Lady zips knew what’s up!!!

[csims0917]

NIU makes it 3-0 for the women! 

[csims0917]

Miami OH makes it 1-0 for the men. It’s going to be a grind to get to 5 I think…

[csims0917]

Buffalo wins! 4-2 cause CMU and. EMU lose for the women 

[csims0917]

MAC Women up to 6-4!

 

[csims0917]

MAC Men up to 2-1! Buffalo does it!!!

[csims0917]

Women’s final for round 1: 8-4

After getting roughed up last year the women showed up. Great showing of the MAC ladies

 

Men are 2-4. Just need to get to 5 or survive this road stand 

[Let'sGoZips94]

Ohio losing is hilarious.

If the replay officiating at other SBC venues was anything like I saw last night in Arkansas I can understand why MAC teams were sub-.500.

JMU is legit but, yes, the Bobcats pissed down their legs most of the first half last night.

The key word is “replay”. To watch that video and still get it wrong is inexcusable.

When it took them 12 minutes to call-off the bank shot three that clearly occurred after the shot clock buzzer, you knew they weren't going to let another opportunity to help the home team slip through their fingers.

The MAC needs to go 9-3 at home to win the belt for the men. Honesty. It’s plausible. The SBC seems to not be as strong as before. We will see

The MAC is favored in 8 games today. Feels like you can make some money taking the Sun Belt
