Mac upset this year. What MAC has to do to get two bids?

Unfortunately, I just don't see Ohio U beating Fla this year. Fla is playing good ball right now.

Also what does the conference need to do to get two bids on a more consistent basis? Heck, the MVC always seems to get two bids. Why does the NCAA give their conference more consideration.

When I was looking at the conference I thought that Buffalo and/or Miami should of gotten in. Buffalo had a good W-L and Miami had a strong RPI.

What do you think would be the magic number for wins to get a at large bid in this conference? 25? 26?

I have to disagree with you, Ohio's MAC Tourney win will pump them up to get past Florida...plus I picked OU in my brackets. Laugh at me if you want but I'm the same guy who picked UUW-Milwaukee to beat Alabama.

I picked Ohio too, in part because I want them to win, in part because they are playing good ball right now, and in part because Florida has a history of early round flame-outs.

I also picked UW-Milwaukee.

But, I also picked Niagara as my sweet 16 shocker. I figured they had a chance and that I would be the only one to pick them. I was right on the second point. Oh well, at least it was close at the half.

i think everyone picked UW-milwaukee this year. That one was just too easy. Ohio is getting pounded and we had 2 first-game flameouts out of 4 in the NIT. This isn't helping our beef with the committee get any more notice. FWIW I almost took niagara, but instead chose Vermont to go to the sweet 16

I didn't pick UW-Milwaukee so I guess I didn't find it easy. And Ohio really hung in there until the last few minutes of the first half. Sure they went from being down by 20 to 7 currently, but I don't think they are going to pull it off...
