All games at Sun Belt gyms for this round. MAC currently up 5-4 and leading two of the other three. Miami, CMU, EMU, BG, and UMass have all won so far. ---

Looked pretty bad for awhile, glad it got turned around. ---

Ohio bumps the MAC to 6-4, beating USA by the same score we won by. ---

Hard to judge when you don’t know the talent level of opposing teams yet, but I thought Akron, UMass, and OU all looked impressive, in addition to us. This could be a really good year for the MAC. A lot of new faces on all those teams, so we’ll see how they continue to look here in the early season. ---

Kent lost to LA Tech, who was picked to finish 12th in the SBC. Toledo trails preseason favorite Arkansas St. by 1 with 4:30 to go. ---

I don’t understand why they didn’t have a better record last year. ---

Arkansas St. wins thanks to a foul with 4 seconds left. Still, 7-5 is a great round for the MAC. ---

Full court baseball pass to a contested receiver when you still have 3 seconds on the clock is so stupid. ---

I rolled my eyes at soon as they threw that pass. That’s reserved for a second or less, and unless you’re the 1992 Blue Devils, it never works. With 2.8 seconds, receive the ball at 3/4 court, take 2, maybe 3, dribbles, and launch from less than half court. ---

I got a report that Buffalo is not good, only 2 guys worth a mention and no depth.
