It shouldn't be. I think we care most about one thing -- going to the NCAA Tournament.

I will say having two 2nd teamers on the bench isn't what you want.

You guys are quick to give out Ls. That will only fuel these battles even more, I've learned my lesson. I'm going to at least wait 20 more minutes to give my final thoughts on this season.

I think there is a legitimate problem with players getting NBA advice. They have to stop allowing people to leave and do that.

This was the class that was kept and that we didn't do an exhausted search over.

Tough. How much did Akron win people being +2?

There's a shot at it, but still thinking its going to be Toledo - Ohio

This is an ugly game all around.

That's better. That's what I thought. UB win + Akron OR Ohio lose

Total cluster by the MAC on this. Hearing that schools don't even know where they stand heading into the final games. I'm super unsure how they could have been the 3 going into the Toledo game, but not have the chance to be the three again with an Ohio or Akron loss.

The good thing is that in the up and down tiebreaker situation, they'd still be the #3 seed, it still benefits them over winning %. Who unfairly got a shake at the #2 seed is Akron, who luckily doesn't have a tiebreaker on anyone, but UB.

CMU needs the game as well, Mike. I always said that game should be played Sunday (4 days before Cleveland). If they don't care about their seeding, they can play backup/reserves. if they do, they can go all out to clinch the 2 or 3 seed.

Both. It's a no contest. Meaning in standings wise, you can be tied in the wins or losses column and that will tie you overall. The MAC wasn't expecting someone to have the potential to be tied in BOTH columns. If UB loses, they are the 5 confirmed. If they win, they are double tied. Meaning that they will be tied with Ohio/Kent for the 2/3 as well as Akron for the 4/5. From the looks of the current standings, the MAC lumped all the teams together (which is a huge advantage for Akron who has is a game behind Ohio).

That's not confirmed. UB dropped to the 5 seed today. Now after the loss, UB is joined by Akron. They will actually be tied if they beat Kent and Akron beats CMU. Akron has the tiebreaker. Even UB doesn't know if the 3 is achievable any longer.

Will Whitesell be mad about that timeout like Howard was?

Segu is telling people he may play next year.

They neglected to get back on defense about 6 times. I think we are watching different games.

Yes sir. I think stars are a freshman year thing to rank how good your class is.

This has been hard to watch. I'd argue the offense has been as bad as the defense.

They are not punishing UB for not playing that game. Per the team, if they were tied in the win column, they wouldn't be ahead though either.

1-4 get the bye. Not just 1-2. So in theory, this 4 seed would be huge over the 5 seed.

The MAC has awarded UB a "win" against CMU and consider them tied with Ohio and Kent. That's a huge advantage for the team.

IF UB and BG win out, UB is your new #1 seed. You are all now Falcons fans

It's a pretty big difference. There is no way you want to match up with Akron in the first round.
