Northern would be a good draw for us. I would say the Zips would be motivated

It's really looking like we'll need to win that game at OU to secure that #3 spot. We're asking our guys to pull one more big road upset. That's a big task. But keep in mind, OU has had a recent history of losing games they should not have lost. So, maybe they will lose another game somewhere and help us out a little bit. That #3 spot would allow this tourney to set itself up for a potential Akron/Can't final.

However, given that games run long and there is a 30 minutes warmup between each game, it is unlikely GM 2, 3, and 4 will start on time.# Head-2-head, CMU and EMU are 3-1 and BUGS 0-2. CMU & EMU have split head-2-head. EMU (1-1) has a better winning % than CMU (0-1) vs. WMU.MAC Tiebreaker Information:http://mac-sports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPS...p;ATCLID=741859
