Even more unbelievably, they already have. They only play Eastern and Western once and are 7 games up on each with 7 to play. First tiebreaker is head to head. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAkron Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Travis and Miami beat Toledo for the first time since 2011. Kraft put up 40 points. The brothers are on a collision course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they're 7 games ahead of teams currently #7-9. But one of those is CMU who we play again. So if CMU beats us, they could hold a tie breaker. Obviously none of this will matter as we'll win another game and those teams will lose again. 😆 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 My superstitious side fears that it is too early to start this conversation. Like Michael Scott, I'm not superstitious, I'm just a little stitious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought of this after I posted, so I guess we probably are technically in. But I think the conference is waiting until Saturday to announce it just so they don't have to worry about figuring out tiebreaker scenarios.

NWAkron Posted Monday at 10:40 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:40 PM I will put this here. 2010 and 2012 Groce and DJ Cooper took out Akron and KD in the MAC finals in heartbreaking fashion. But in 2011, Bobcats lost to Ball State in the quarterfinals after coming in as a 5 seed and beating Toledo (12th seed in first round). Zips beat Kent in the finals in OT and had an 2xOT game v Miami in quarterfinals. 2011 for Ohio U was sandwiched between the tournament runs of beating GTown in first round and then getting a somewhat lackluster draw in 2012 and reaching Sweet 16. Here's a recap of the 2011 loss to Ball State 14 years ago! you get a glimpse of a younger and intense Coach Groce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
