MAC Tournament Tiebreaker Clarification
Ryan Autullo is reporting that Western Michigan, not Toledo will get the #1 Seed in the MAC Tournament if it ends up a tie between the Broncos and the Rockets because WMU will have a better Division Record (8-2 vs. 7-3). We will need Buffalo to win its last two games against Akron on the road and home against BG to create a three way tie which would give the #1 Seed to the Rockets.

And WMU loses the tie breaker with Buffalo if they are the ones at the top because of their head to head game where UB won by 20.

I think odds are pretty good of a three way tie. Akron isn't playing their best ball and UB has been playing stellar. UT is at home vs. EMU. WMU could still lose to NIU, that's a trap game for them like it was for us.

1 or 2 seed is a pretty good deal. Regardless in the scenario we'd raise a banner for MAC West-co-Champs. The NIT would automatically get WMU though.

Right on.

A win and a buffalo loss to crackron would lock up a bye to the semis. Would likely set us up for the 2 seed though. #1 seed would guarantee western and buffalo battling it out in the semis.

Agree, I still think we're on fumes and still don't have the monkey off our backs. We played 37 mostly listless, catch up basketball before finishing the final three minutes strong, then OT. What happens if we win vs. CMU and lose to EMU, does WMU and Buffalo get the top two seeds?

I feel like we played a pretty good 60 minutes against wmu. They were jus shooting lights out in the first from the perimeter. Then in the 2nd half Wittington hit 4 shots in a row with good defense being played on him

75-80% for 3 pointers is ridiculous especially for a team that normally shoots about 33%

I agree. They were hitting off balance 3s, coming off screens and hitting 3s, hitting 3s with a hand in their face. Started 7/10, then ended up 8/23.

And Whittington couldnt miss for a bit. Doing 360b spins, hook shot, whatever. No way to defend some of that.

^this

We shot ridiculous in the first half. Toledo deserves credit for keeping it at arms length and not letting WMU run away with it AND forcing the issue with the trapping press near the end of regulation.

It's good to see West teams playing meaningful games near the end of the regular season.
