Always very good insights and always some food for thought. Do agree about the team playing much better especially with Mballa and I think Jack has shown definite upside in many of the games. He has been able to hit some shots and has shown more energy especially on the rebounding end. Would be great to see a sweep in the last few games and positive energy going to Cleveland. Go Bulls!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need them to earn the 3 to have a realistic path to the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need them to earn the 3 to have a realistic path to the tournament. I think any is realistic, but 3+ is certainly an improved path. Akron has been stumbling a bit. While they aren't the same as a Ball St or other bottom group-er, they aren't Gonzaga. Just need to keep playing well and stacking wins. If UB closes at 3-1, beating kent but losing to someone else and kent wins all but UB, both teams have 5 losses but UB has one less win. We'd get 4 even though we beat them twice based on win %, correct? If that happens, that's a very poor move by the league to affect seeding like that by not playing a game, especially with UB beating Kent twice (in this scenario). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes down to win percentage. As I was looking at remaining schedules Kent St has 3 games left. 2 easy ones then us. Based on all this, barring upsets across the conference and us winning out I think it’s safe to say we are locked into the 4/5 game and route.

If they can, the 3 will most likely be their seed. If they lose just ons game, they’ll most likely be the 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee4three Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) For the first round as of right now is there that big a difference between akron ball st and miami? What seed id like to be is really based on who is the 1 and who is the 2 Edited February 23, 2022 by Tee4three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What seed id like to be is really based on who is the 1 and who is the 2 I think so. Akron is better than both of them. UB is 0-1 vs Akron, 2-0 Ball State, 1-1, Miami the 3 seed path is the right fit for this team specifically, in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's akron in Cleveland though. Have you been when they are playing? That's always a game to avoid. I think UB wins, but they could use Ball State.

Definitely not actively looking to play Akron especially since they have one of the better tournament coaches in the league The whole mac in cleveland is always against buffalo but yeah akron is on a different level in Cleveland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 What if Toledo and Ohio both lose one more game ... and either the Bulls/Kent win out? That's a three-way tie for first. Can Bulls be No. 1 via tiebreaker!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue for UB is that they’ll play one less game so they would need Toledo and Ohio to both lose two more games in addition to Buffalo winning out.

It's a pretty big difference. There is no way you want to match up with Akron in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
