Ohio is off to a tremendous 9-1 start, having won six in a row including four in a row on the road. Man it must be nice to be good in both football and basketball.....Anyway, OU has a big one at 10-1 Northern Iowa tonight in a very nice "mid-major" matchup. I wish this was on TV. I know there's been a lot of talk in the last ten years about MAC basketball being down from what it was, but I think this year - at least in the MAC East - it's as strong as it has been in the last decade since then. With Ohio, Kent State, Buffalo and Akron (and you know Miami will factor in), I just don't see us up there with some of these guys again. We'll find out in a few weeks.

Ohio stomped Northern Iowa on the road! OU had as much as a 22-point lead before winning by 17. This was a UNI team that was undefeated at home, already had wins vs Iowa and Iowa State, and was #2 in the RPI. Ohio plays three consecutive home games before coming to BG and should very well be 13-1 and could be near a Top-25 ranking (was receiving votes to start the week before this game tonight). Wow is Ohio hot right now!

[It's the Journey...]

Watching OU this season is like watching the old days of Geno Ford and Gary Trent. This team is good.

Can you say "that 5 seed is sweating bullets, praying OU doesn't get the 12 seed?"

If OU keep this up during MAC play they could be that 5 seed

[VDub26Falcon]

As much as I would like to believe that they would be worthy of and get a #5 seed, when was the last time a one-bid conference was seeded higher than 8 other than the perenially great Gonzaga teams? And there may have even been other teams from their conference in the tourney.

I believe Drake was a 5 seed a few years back...although the Missouri Valley Conference probably got more than one bid that year.

A MAC team would need to go almost undefeated to even cause the field committee to considered them at no. 5 seed.

[BGSU33]

Ohio is now just two spots out if the AP Top-25 this week. It's been a long time since I have said this for a MAC team but at 12-1, Ohio is in position right now to be playing for a possible at-large bid this year.

I see they had a good showing at Louisville.

[TG1996]

I see they lost to Robert Morris tonight at home.

I see they lost to Robert Morris tonight at home.

Trap game. They were obviously looking ahead to their next opponent

[BGSU33]

Amazingly, Robert Morris had 31 turnovers and won! But they held Ohio to just 3-26 from three as OU likes to put it up. Still, Ohio will be coming in at 12-2 and we're going to have to end this slump we're on right now.
