Rough Start for MAC Hoops?

CM & EM got clobbered.

Every team in the West has a losing record, even when the records reflect non D1 opponents.

Toledo will get pounded tonight at home v. Houston.

Correct, although it was a very winnable game. If only we had a point guard...

Another rough night for the MAC, getting beat up by some other mid-majors.

Cleveland St. took Kent State behind the woodshed, UT lost to Wright State, CMU lost to Detroit... there may have been others.

I'm not surprised we lost to Wright State again last night. They already beat us last week and after we played Illinois Chicago and lost last night the team was probably pretty tired. I am surprised that we scheduled a double header and they forgot to tell season ticket holders though. I left after the Illinois-Chicago game and missed the Wright State game altogether. Must have been a 10:30 start.

I will say Scott VanDerMeer is one heck of a basketball player. Not Chris Kaman but he sure can block shots and rebound-very solid fundamentally.

His "daddy" is an astute analyzer of basketball talent. This man will play basketball for a living.
