Bluebird96 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) 3 hours ago, UBinMD said: Did Eastern Michigan really only score 37 points against Miami? Miami only scored 52. That must have been a snoozer. As bad as we’ve been, our low water mark was 52 vs Kent in that god-awful 31 pt loss. All told, Bulls have scored under 60 in 5 games so far (3 of those were 59). Not saying by any means that’s acceptable, guess I’m saying at least we’re not EMU and hopefully this year was just a bad nightmare that won’t be repeated. Whereas, EMU has had a long run of underwhelming seasons and many games like this where they fail to net 50 pts let alone 40. Having said all this, why do I get the feeling the Bulls will now lay a total egg vs Ohio on Tuesday and score about 45? 😂 Edited March 3 by Bluebird96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the experience Akron returned and especially Freeman, I figured they would blow through the MAC at 16-2 or something. That being said, I still think they stand the best chance to go to the Dance and possibly upset somebody in an ugly low scoring type of game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocCas86 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I feel like Boals has Ohio playing their best basketball of the season. In my mind it will come down to them or Akron, but I agree, a lot of parity and average teams, so almost anything is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebird96 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Toledo won tonight and Akron lost so Toledo takes the 1 seed. Will this be the Rockets’ year to represent the MAC at the Big Dance? I’m betting on no. Akron still feels like the favorite. Kent could be dangerous as the 8 seed, though they lost handily to Toledo tonight. Not sure how much more MBB MACtion I can take this season. But I’ll be rooting for BB and her Bulls to make some noise on the WBB side. 🤘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBinMD Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Kent St beating Toledo in the quarters would be a fitting thing to happen this season. Kent St wins it all and gets the 16 seed in the tournament. Would be a fitting end for the MAC 2024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue32 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 One of these years Toledo will decide to recruit a big man and break through. Gonna be tough to win three straight when you’re bottom 15 in the country in two point defense. I think Akron is the best representative for the MAC this year so hopefully they show up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Toledo going down in the tournament, like the masters, it’s an annual tradition. No auto bid to the NIT either. I laugh at them but it’s kinda sad lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being good in the regular season is good enough. If Toledo fired TK I’d want UB to hire him ASAP. Every year they have the best group of guards in the MAC. Lack of a frontcourt recently has done them in. Make him hire someone who has a track record of identifying and developing big men. It was unfortunate that some of their best years coincided with the UB glory years but I wouldn’t fire TK. Hornbeak on Kent is from Toledo, if TK recruited him they’d probably have won this game lol Edited March 14 by trueblue32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBinMD Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 That was an ill advised shot, then foul on the other end. Terrible game management. See if it costs Kent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
