30 in my wish world, but fair enough.

The right answer is Miami takes a lead with 5 seconds left but intentionally fouls Evan and we win by 1

[ZippyRulz]

In my wish world, they lose on Thursday.

In my wish world Miami goes undefeated until the MAC final when they get beaten by the Zips and both the Zips and Miami make the tournament.  Two MAC teams in the tourney would be a nice precedent.

Skaljac is playing really well for them. Being honest, I think they are the favorite watching them last night. Of course doesn’t mean we can’t knock them off. We might be looking at UMASS, Kent, then Miami in the tournament though which would be tough.

You should be careful what you wish for, it would be very difficult for us to beat them in both the MAC and NCAA tourneys!

I would never expect the Zips to face them in the NCAA tourney.

Sure, when we both make the final four. It could happen. 😄

I DO NOT want to see Miami go undefeated in the MAC & then get boat raced in the 1st round of the NCAA

Doesn’t the MAC get more money for each game played? If so, I’m all for it

Yes, it does. Every game up until the Final Four gives a credit. Each credit is worth about $2 million.

Is it distributed evenly among the conference or does the team that actually plays get a higher share?

Every conference is different. Some conferences is an eat what you kill and others split it fairly evenly. I think the MAC gives some money to teams to help with travel, but the rest is split fairly evenly.

 

They used to have some incentives to promote regular season success and meeting certain scheduling requirements, but frankly the MAC hasn't won many additional credits so that incentive pot has dwindled.

Any team that beats Miami in the final is going to get some attention. In the worst of all wish worlds Miami loses in the final and it's not Akron.

Travis has some maturing to do: throwing a temper tantrum including knocking one of WMU’s speakers over going into the locker room.

[UAZipster0305]

WMU over Miami 30-26 at HT! Miami's coach had a meltdown going into the locker room.

 

I actually hope Miami keeps winning. I want to beat a Top 15 team in the MACC!

[Zippy87]

 

 

Apparently he pushed someone, too. Should be a suspension.

Looks like he's out tonight in K-zoo. Gonna make the comeback tough.

[Zippy87]

Any word on the severity of Skaljac's injury? 

[Zips1991]

I have zero confidence in WMU holding onto this lead but I hope I'm wrong!

[UAZipster0305]

Suder is on four fouls with a full ten minutes remaining. He is overly aggressive, and the referees are finally calling fouls for it. That's what Coach Steele was upset about at half time. It makes me hope we smoke these whinier than usual cry babies that much more.
