Agent Zero Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 You realize that if Akron, and the MAC as a whole scheduled better, that Akron may have been considered an at large bid, right? Heck, look at Miami's schedule; if they had won some of those games, they'd be considered for an at-large bid. The MAC as a whole needs to schedule better though. Period.

FearTheRoo Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 You try to put the schedule together then!! When you have a Mid-Major team such as Akron that is as good as they are and was projected to be this good, would you send your team to Akron. Sure, many would have hosted us, but would you want to play a VAST majority of your schedule on the road? KD did a fine job. Hit your free throws, and you erase the chance of losing due to a timing error. You control your own destiny.Look at all seven of Akron's losses this year. A total of 21 points over seven games. That's 3-4 more FTs in each game.We've known this to be our weakness. Now it killed us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Zero Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Well, for starters, you don't *HAVE* to play good teams at Akron. It would be nice, but you have to start somewhere don't you? Second, a lot of the people on media row were right; the MAC needs to start a scheduling alliance with 1 or 2 of the midmajor conferences (like the Horizon for starters). And yes, I'm well aware that foul shooting could come back to bite you in the rear, just like it did tonight. But, the thing is, it happens to every team at one point or another. Seriously though, at some point, the MAC is going to have to give an ultimatum to these teams that schedule cupcakes during the year (i.e BG); that if they don't schedule as well as the rest of the conference, that they could withhold say I dont know, tournament money from the teams that dont comply with the mandate?

FearTheRoo Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Fixing scheduling at the MAC Conference office level makes much more sense. If teams like Akron have problems getting good teams to come to their home court, then the conference as a whole needs to pull together. For example, if a Big East team wants to play an easier-to-beat MAC team, then they have to play an elite MAC team as well.You can't play 20 road games and 10 home games.

You control your own destiny.This really was the central issue last night as it was something the Zips had complete control over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
