Final: CMU 90, Austin Peay 75.

We are leading the MAC in FT %

KSU wins by 15. They face USC-Upstate tomorrow who knocked off Niagara in the early game at the MACC.

BG loses by 24 at Wisc.

Pretty much what I expected last night. (Except USC Upstate over Niagara). I'm expecting another 2-1 night tonight, but hoping for a sweep.

I'm going to try to make it to Kent for the games today or tomorrow. Is it one ticket good for both games that day?

Yes, as far as I know. I doubt there would be many for the first games otherwise.

Karrington Ward had the dunk of the year so far against cleve st. eastern has a slew of games coming up against some of the top names in college hoops, duke-Kentucky-Syracuse-etc... let's see if they can shock someone.

Toledo's next game against stony brook is scary. they won like 26 games last yr and are a very disciplined experienced team that no one has really heard of.

Uuuuummmmm...I'm pretty sure that EMU Steve is their Director of Information and Publicity so at least HE has heard of them.

I am. I have the MAC board as part of my duties.

The game will be at UDM (Detroit-Mercy) so at least it is a neutral court.

usc-upstate won at Virginia tech earlier this yr so they could be tough for kent.

Toledo puts on a defensive clinic and stops Stony Brook 103-99. The new rules seem to be having no effect on opening up the game.

When was the last time TWO conference teams started 4-0 in men's hoops? Both from the West Division?

Stony Brook is having fun playing MAC teams. Lost in 5 OTs vs Buffalo back in mid-September and put up 99 vs. Toledo and still lost.

Probably a lot of respect earned on both sides (SB and UB/UT).

KSU survives over USC Upstate 79-78. KSU shot 18-34 for 3 (school record), but 6-21 for 2.

The KSU/USC-Up game was wildly entertaining. Clutch shots back and forth. Heartbreaker for USC. Had the ball with 5 sec., dribbled up and passed it into the post and it looked like their big man got fouled, but no call as the buzzer sounded. Easily the best game at the MACC so far this year.

Wow, that's some line on that game - Toledo shot .525 from the field including .538 for 3 pointers, and show .810 for free throws; Stony Brook was .647 for 3 pointers and .593 overall from the field. So from the score it sounds like they were taking a lot of shots, but each team only took 59 shots each. In the KSU-Upstate game, the teams took 57 and 55 shots, so that's not too far out of normal

Yeah, we really struggled with shooting from the floor tonight but when your freshmen only hit at a .520 clip it hurts that overall .565% we shot in the first three games. Freshmen have to understand that shooting barely 50% won't cut it in the college game.

Actually, looking at last year, the MAC as a whole only averaged 43% shooting. I think that any coach, if offered to have his team hitting 50% from the field, would take it in a second. I think Ohio led the MAC last year with 46.6%.

You don't read a lot of my posts, do you?

USC Upstate has a solid team with two really good big guys and guards who can get them the ball. They’d win some games in the MAC.

Sounds like I let my wife talk me out of going to a great game.

Lots of games on tap today. I'm going to say the MAC finishes the day at 6-2.
