25/26 Other NCAA Basketball

Akron down 35-29 at half. They led by 10 early on.

What in the world was Bowling Green doing today? They were down 40-14 at half. And lost by 37.

So along with watching Miami hockey I have Idaho/Montana on in the background (because I’m a psycho and probably need an intervention).

It was 29-19 at the half in front of a sparse crowd at Montana. This is mid-major basketball. It’s amazing how far Miami has progressed this season (both in terms of scoring and butts in the seats).

Jesus what a garbage showing from the conference so far. Pick it up assholes…

Kent goes 8-18 on FT in their 1-point loss. Abysmal.

This could be an all time awful night for the MAC. I don’t care about NIU or Ball State winning. Its possible outside Miami, the next top 7 may all lose. Even for being road games, an atrocious showing.

Ohio losing 40-35 at half to ODU.

Akron very disappointing

Akron’s at-large chances go from essentially none to actually none. We should have had the ESPN2 game.

Akron shot 27% from 3 and honestly it was worse than that for most of the game. Troy shot 53 percent from 3

Troy has a really nice team.

Absolutely horrific day for the MAC.

How much of a hit will our NET take due to this poor conference showing today?

It’ll go up cause we crushed Marshall. Kenpom jumped to 84

Oh ok, nice.

Do we have a quad 2 game left on the regular season schedule? Based on what the NET rankings are about to be after today I’m not sure…

No. Kent will fall out after today and we have no one close. BG is going to be borderline whether that stays Q2. We could end up with just 1 Q2 win.

No. And after Kent’s close loss and BG’s steaming dump, we may lose two Q2 wins we already had banked.

I’m holding out hope that UMass gets it together enough so at least the game there ends up being q2. But man it’s not looking great.

BG in Oxford (123 needs to get to 75) is closer than at UMass (187 needs to get to 135) but neither is gonna happen, especially with both dropping games tonight.

Akron could even drop out of the top 75 with another loss or two. And Wright isn’t a sure thing. Can you imagine if we have no Q1 and Q2 games?
