This has the possibility of being a rough week for the conference record wise.

Hopefully this week turns out better than I expect it will. Would be nice to be above .500 for the week with this schedule...

Hoping that IPFW has a letdown game after coming close to upsetting Illinois this past weekend.

They looked good against Dayton in the first game too. Took a steal of an inbound and a buzzer beating three for UD to win by 1.

It'll be nice to see a ranked team come to our building. Hopefully we can knock them off, although UMass is a very good opponent.

The one from Ohio should win easily tonight. WKU is not good at this point in the season. We have two guards who will be eligible on the 14th but at the moment we are terrible. By the end of year we should be decent but BGSU should have no problem with us tonight. Dang....just checked the score and BGSU is up 14. Hate it when I'm right.

BG wins 74-62 and gets an RPI bump from 235 to 181. Western plummets past BG from 147 to 212. MAC starts the week 1-0. good job Falcons.

When is scoring 24 points not that impressive? When you shoot 7-23 (5-16 from 3) like TJ Price did for WKU tonight. Glad to see BG pull this one out though.

lot of good matchups this week. should be some close games. other than bg at xavier and Miami playing anyone better than girls hs jv, every game is winnable, but few are easy. big week for eastern. they got the players, can murphy get them together on an offensive game plan?

Toledo and emu look like teams... With 5 guys and all. Not MAC West basketball I am seeing.

The MAC has jumped to the #10 conference rpi

Very nice...especially since last year's co-MAC champion AND MAC Tournament Champion AND this year's media pick for MAC East Champion AND MAC Tournament Champion AND an all around super Zippy school hasn't even done anything noteworthy yet.

i'm not calling us an offensive juggernaut by any means, but Murphy isn't running what you saw the last two years. He's given them some leeway to run and we now have a point guard (Talley) that Murphy trusts to run a half-court offense. i've actually seen entry passes to big men and guys cutting without the ball this year - both were strictly forbidden last season.

I see it 13th on two different sites. Who has the MAC 10th?
