Browsing Joe Lunardi's "Bracketology" on ESPN's website, I seen a familiar face as the projected #15 seed in the tournament

http://espn.go.com/ncb/bracketology

Good to see we are getting some respect, even from the "big boys" of journalism... but I just cant see us winning out and getting into the tournament.

Wow, this doesn't look like a fake.

So Joe Lunardi sees us possibly win the MAC tourney.

Others (here) aren't sure we can win tonight.

No, its definitely not a fake. I think the respect speaks to the tough schedule we have played this season, and the respect that defense gets when it comes to the post season.

That being said.... winning 5 games in this span is almost absurd, but not impossible.

I truly think we have a good shot of (at least) making it to a rematch with Toledo...and from there, who knows ?

agree with what you said.

It seems the MAC tourney has been going on since early January, almost like an 18 game play-in. 03-idea

Not trying to burst anyone's bubble, but at the top it says "Updated: March 10, 2014 | Autobid awarded to league champion or highest seed remaining" I'm guessing he mixed up Eastern and Western.

No, others including me and opponents like EA3 on the WMU board have said given the athletic talent on EMU we certainly have the athletic talent to the win the MAC but not all the pistons fire at the same time or play 100% effort which is why we finished at 18-13.
Coach Murphy has even questioned his own players state of mind and preparedness for game time which is why players ride the pine or don't play the minutes. To question whether this team will be "up" for CMU is a valid question.

Hopefully it all comes together and we win the MAC.

I can hear Mitt Romney now: "Wanna bet ten thousand?" (on that).

(This, of course, is his 'famous' line from one of the GOP presidential debates, circa 2012, issued to Rick Perry.)

Yeah no doubt about that. Should have known better I guess....

It still brings up a good talking about though I guess. By and large I think most people here like our chances to make some kind of a run.
