DocCas86 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Topsy turvy day in MAC so far with several underdogs winning at or near the half. Bates almost beating Toledo by himself on national TV. Edited January 25, 2023 by DocCas86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebird96 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Bates finished with 43, but not surprisingly it wasn’t enough to topple Toledo. Lowly NIU leading Kent by 3 early in the 2nd. Maybe Kent isn’t so unbeatable after all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still say Kent and Akron since they play such tough D are going to be the teams to beat in March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebird96 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) NIU walks away with a huge win, dropping 86 on the MAC’s elite. Not a very elite defensive performance there by Kent. Maybe NIU figured something out that the Bulls can duplicate on Friday. Edited January 25, 2023 by Bluebird96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what they said about Ball St. They were going to come out on fire with the previous loss. Buffalo just has to come out and play their game, keep up the assists, reduce the turnovers and get the fast break points. I expect a good game.

Bluebird96 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 CMU leads Kent by 3 at the half on the road. One of those bottom third MAC teams that UB needs to keep losing or else the rate the Bulls are going they’ll be battling the Chips for the 8 seed.

DocCas86 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 EMU is starting to find some chemistry, winning two in a row. I thought at 1-6 they were already done. Not what you hope to see with them coming to Alumni soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird96 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) NIU has also found their way lately and jumped ahead of UB into 5th with their convincing win @ WMU. A logjam of teams just behind UB and BG at 3-6 fighting for the 8th spot. Need to start finding some wins or we’ll be on the outside looking in come March. Imagine that?

I just looked at NIU schedule, they also benefit from only one game each against Akron, Toledo and Kent, where they went 1-2. We still have 3 games remaining with the top 3. Not looking good.

With a scorer like Bates, if they just make it to Cleveland, they could be a dangerous first round opponent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird96 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Some intriguing Friday night MACtion matchups, with EMU @ Ball State and Kent @ Akron. Can Bates carry the Eagles to a win and take control of the 8 seed or possibly higher? Ball is favored by 11 so it would be quite an upset. Kent favored by 1.5 on the road against the red-hot Xavier Castaneda and the Zips riding a 7-game win streak. I think I would take Akron and the points if I was a betting man.

enrique14150 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I get the impression so far that there are no easy games for anyone in the MAC this winter. I laughed when I saw an Akron fan last night with a sign that said, "What's a Flash?" HA, what's a Zip? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
