OH Bobcat?

Hey Cat.

By my count (and mind you, I'm an idiot), OU is better off in the MAC Tourney if they lose to BG on Saturday.

Win and they are the #6 seed. Lose and they get the #7. If they are the #6 they get Akron on Thursday (assuming they win on Monday), but if they are the #7 they get #2 NIU/Western (West champ). And I think they would host BG on Monday.

I like OU over NIU/Western better than Akron (in Cleveland). How about you? Either way I will be there.

The real key game for OHIO tomorrow is the WMU/NIU game. If WMU wins, we are either the 6 or 7 seed. Of those two, I really don't care which one we get because we will probably have to play Akron in the next round anyway. Getting the 5 seed (if NIU wins) would be terrible, because we would have to play Kent and Miami back to back.

I want to win tomorrow as much as anyone, but if we lose I can't say that I'll be that disappointed. Better to lose now than lose when it really matters!

GO OHIO!

Again, I'm an idiot. But I don't think OU can get the #5 anymore. AND I agree that that is a good thing for them. Otherwise, I think you are right. Gonna have to face Akron Thursday or Friday (#6 or #7). But at the #7 you get BG on Monday and NIU/Western on Thursday. AND some Friday night hoops.

Unless BG beats you Saturday AND Monday (which would really be fun around here with the smack your partner has been running).

Anyway...
