Miami hosts Muskingum
Eastern Michigan at Pittsburgh
Bowling Green at Oakland
Northern Illinois at Indiana State
Central Michigan hosts Indiana-Kokomo
Western Michigan hosts Marygrove
Ball State at St. Louis
Buffalo at Niagara
Wright State at Southern Illinois
Evansville at Louisville
Middle Tennessee hosts Milligan
UNC-Wilmington hosts Claflin
Detroit hosts Adrian
Southeastern Louisiana hosts Millsaps
Loyola of Chicago hosts Alcorn State
Season has already started for Ohio Christian, which is 4-2. The Trailblazers defeated Shawnee State, Marygrove, Goshen and Concordia; lost to Bethel and the University of the Cumberlands. OCU next plays on November 16th.

RE: MBB: News about 2016-17 opponents
we'll get a good sense of the MAC right away. I think EMU is the team to beat and they open at Pitt. So, I'll get a sense of my prediction pretty fast. NIU is favored to contend and gets a pretty good Indiana St team out the valley at home to open. Ball St is improving and opens at St Louis who is down from their glory years on the early 2000s but still a competitive A10 team. Buffalo is at local rival Niagara and will try to replace their stud pg who transferred out. I don't like BG but I liked how Huger coached them up their first year. Will be interesting to see how they compete on the road against a solid Oakland program. Plus, Evansville who looks pretty good (we play them in that Nashville tourney) opens at Louisville and I always root against Pitino.

EMU isn't getting a lot of love from the press which I don't understand. Looks like they got some solid bigs to relieve their sophomore center and still have an awfully quick perimeter. I see them as the favorites in the West if not overall. Did that little guard from Oakland get any NBA looks? He was one of the most exciting players I've ever seen.

He's on the Cavaliers roster second round pick in draft.
