I gotta believe they kept us from making the "top 10"

Actually you probably want to thank our own teams 16 wins from a year ago from keeping us off this list.

This is bleacher report we are talking about. They aren't going to look at the in depth things that make a program bad like we do here on a message board. This are going to look at records from the past couples years and go off that
BGSU c/o 2009 & 2013

Some of those schools have been to the NCAA tournament much recently than we have. NIU is one of them.

I have a feeling we are in for a long year here. Cant wait to make it out to my first BG basketball game of the year, although Im not sure when that will be. I could be wrong we could end up running the table but I highly doubt it. However my wife loves basketball, I love BG hence we will be at as many games as we can.

I do believe that BG has gone the longest amount of time between NCAA trips of any MAC school -- easily.

BG has never won the MAC tournament, and it's been since 1968 since they went to the NCAA tourney.

Think about that: we're coming up on 45 years without a trip to the NCAAs!

That is one helluva drought and if I were the AD, it would be my first priority to fix, especially given a brand new basketball facility. Our AD, however, seems to be in no hurry to find excellence for the program...
