Oh how big is that loss at Ohio now

I would be thrilled if that is how the standings ended up. A first round home game against an awful team, a possible second round matchup against a team that always chokes in the MAC tourney, and a potential semifinal matchup against Miami. I haven't seen Miami yet this year and their record is very impressive, but I would much rather see them than Kent State or Western Michigan early on.

Looking at the rest of our schedule, I can see us finishing 4-1 (3 home wins over BSU, Miami, and CMU) and stealing 1 against NIU, while losing at WMU. I would think that 12-6 may win the Division, but certainly should allow us to finish 3-4.

I don't think we are good enough to call any MAC team awful. It's a pretty balanced league and I don't think any game in this conference is a given.

Almost as big as the 2 pt loss on our home floor to Akron.

This team has as good as any team at winning the MAC title...and the tourney. This is the biggest win for the program in a few years, IMO.

BEAT Ball State!!!

We lost to WMU on our floor back on 1/15. BG travels to WMU 3/2. If we can win at Kent, we can win anywhere.
