All Time MAC wins

I know my comment doesn't necessarily belong on the football page, but...

 

I wonder where we are on this list for men's basketball? Despite not joining until 1992, I imagine we are near the top just below Ohio, Kent, and Miami.

 

Believe it or not, we are among the Top 50 all-time in Division 1 wins (#48, tied with Creighton and ahead of Wisconsin-Madison):

Though I doubt most of those wins were against D-1 competition.

The first year members were UC, Butler, Western Reserve  and Ohio. In 1948 the above four members were joined by Western Michigan and Miami. Kent joins  in 1951 and BG and Toledo in 1952 which marks the year that the six oldest members have been in the league. If we are counting total wins, that is the first year that would be most logical. Here are the win totals for those six between 1952 - 1961. 
Miami     38

Ohio       36

BG          32

Kent       31     Kent was a decent program until about 1961.

WMU      16

UT           15


So taking into account those years with all the same six, total wins are:

 

Toledo     443

Miami       431

BG            411

WMU        380

Ohio          360

Kent          257  Kent jumps ahead of Northern Illinois by 12 wins but NIU has been in the league 35 less years overall. 
 

If one counts inclusive of the 1947-51 years the Miami leads the conference in all time wins with 445 to Toledo 443. Miami has the most MAC championships 17, BG and Toledo tied at 12, CMU 7, NIU 6, OU 5, Ball St 4, Western 2, EMU, Kent, Buffalo and Akron 1 each.
