Miami 22-8 (13-4) will be the #2 seed and will play the third game on Thursday in Cleveland vs the #7 seed somewhere around 4:00. Ball State14-16(7-10) needs to win and have both BG and CM lose or they are out. If all that happens they get the #8 seed.
Miami has already set the all time record for most consecutive home wins in the same season with 14 ( only loss was our home opener vs Wright State). We are top 50 nationally in 7 offensive stats and first in the MAC is steals per game.

Not the first time I’ve seen a benchwarmer get a bunch of random late-season playing time, but I like his production a lot more than others I’ve seen (cough Josh Oswald in the MAC tourney cough).
He tried playing thru it, but it was really bothering him. I went back and rewatched where it happened. He was holding the area on his side below his right arm, so maybe got hit in the ribs, which I didn’t notice. Guessing oblique, as he grabbed it right after making a pass that he put some effort into.
If the goal was to get me sucked in before Cleveland (and lets be honest, already sucked), mission successful so far. Knocking on every wood piece of furniture in the house that Suder is fine.
