Zippy87 Posted March 1 Author Report Posted March 1 Assuming we take care of business against the #8 seed, it seems likely that we will see one of Kent, Ohio, or Toledo in the Semis. Who would you most/least like to see in that spot? Quote
Westie Posted March 1 Report Posted March 1 Not gonna lie, I’d just as soon see Kent next season. Those games are a grind. 2 Quote

Not looking past Eastern or Western @ 11am on a Thursday. BTW. If there is a betting scandal with EMU, would hope whoever is investigating finds out truth before they take a spot in Cleveland 1 Quote

If there is a betting scandal with EMU, would hope whoever is investigating finds out truth before they take a spot in Cleveland I'm sure that's being duly investigated without any bias, just like Bates' scratched out serial number handgun case.

I'm fine with them as a first round opponent. 😂 Quote
zipsrule Posted March 3 Report Posted March 3 ESPN has a article listing who will win each of the 31 conference tournaments. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/insider/story/_/id/44058613/picks-analysis-31-mens-college-basketball-champ-week-conference-tournaments-2025 For those who don't have ESPN+, here is the snippet for the MAC. 2 Quote

Zippy87 Posted March 5 Author Report Posted March 5 Updated the bracket in the original post...big changes today. Quote
MDZip Posted March 5 Report Posted March 5 (edited) Doesn't look like there is any way Kent falls out of the 4/5 seed. Although I guess Toledo could win at Ohio and the Flushes win to bump them to a three. Edited March 5 by MDZip Quote
Zippy87 Posted March 5 Author Report Posted March 5 - Ohio locks up the #3 seed with a win over Toledo. They could drop as low as #6 with a loss. - Kent State only gets to #3 if Ohio loses and they win. I can't find a scenario otherwise where they aren't #4 or #5. - BGSU, Western Michigan, Ball State, and Central Michigan could all land at #8. 1 Quote
MDZip Posted March 5 Report Posted March 5 Was posted on the MAC tournament 25 years in Cleveland thread. Anyone know how to post a middle finger? 1 Quote
Zippy87 Posted March 5 Author Report Posted March 5 Someone check my work, but I think CMU is #8 unless they lose to NIU. https://bball.notnothing.net/mac.php?sport=mbb Quote

WMU/BGSU is effectively an elimination game for the 7 seed (Western could sneak up to a six) and the only way Ball St gets in is with a CMU loss. Seeds 3-6 are all still up in the air, EMU, Kent or Ohio can get the three, best Toledo can do is the four. Looking very likely it's 3. Ohio, 4. Kent, 5. Toledo and 6. EMU (but they can finish anywhere from 3rd to 7th). Still pretty open. 1 Quote

One thing I'll say for CMU is they can hang around in games. 3 point loss vs Akron 2 point loss both times vs Ohio 6 point loss vs Miami 2 point loss at Toledo They also have several close wins over lesser teams. Jarusevicius has been playing really well for them and was the guy who carried them in their close loss against us, with 32 points and 10 rebounds. Quote
