Toledo with a nice home win vs. Loyola-Chicago tonight. 74-70. They almost blew a big lead but made a couple of saving plays in the last minute. LUC was 10-2 with some decent wins so this is one of the MAC's better wins so far.

Nice victories tonight.

Toledo (6-6) wins at home against Loyola (10-3), 74-70. NIU (7-5) gets a road win at South Florida (5-5), 59-48. Thank you Huskies, because those petulant fans on the AAC board deserve nothing but the least.

I didn't see the spreads, but I'm going to guess both MAC schools went into their games as the underdog. Nice to see that they both managed to pull out the win.

From what I saw, Toledo and NIU were 1 point and 1.5 point favorites, respectively. Both covered the spread, though!

Nice to see some solid MAC wins!

Its great that NIU was able to go on the road and pull out two W's in Florida. I didn't see that happening with our road woes.

CMU wins a Wild West shootout at Montana State, 106-103. The game had several runs by both teams. The Chippewas appeared to salt the game away during crunch time. Then with 30 seconds left to play, the Bobcats outscored Central something like ten points to two and just missed a three that would have sent the contest into overtime.

Oh, by the way, Marcus Keene hit for a career high 44 points. This was despite playing on a gimpy ankle for most of the game.

Western within six with under 12 left against UCLA. Maybe Hawk can row the boat to one of the biggest upsets in MAC history.

Western now closer against UCLA (down 8) than Kent is to Oregon State (down 13).

Kent is horrible.

This Oregon State-Kent game was so incredibly fugly for 37 minutes until the Golden Flashes decided they could take fugliness to another level by making scoring optional. What was a 42-42 snoozefest has turned into a 60-42 facepalm with four minutes left in the game.

Haha, Akron had almost the same exact game on the West Coast a couple of weeks ago ... a 48-43 game with about 6 minutes left turned into a 61-43 loss. Of course, that was against No. 8 Gonzaga ... not a pathetic Oregon State team.

And WMU goes down, but still easily covers the 30-point spread.

Yikes Kent looked good early in this game and this might be the worst 15 mins I've ever seen a Kent team put out

I completely disagree that Kent looked good early. The game was painful from the start. Two bad teams playing a bad basketball game. With losses this week to Wright State and Oregon State, Kent now has three losses to sub 200 KenPom teams ... tied with Bowling Green for the most in the league.

They forced 24 Beaver turnovers, that's hard to do

Zips have their own issues to sort out, an uncomfortably close game against an awful Anteater team

Not sure what Akron has to do with this? I was making a statement about Kent State. And I'm sure the regular Kent State posters won't disagree with my assessment on the Oregon State game, nor do I think they will disagree with me that this is a bad basketball team right now.

Maybe Kent will improve, but I don't see the talent for them to be more than a mid-tier team in the MAC. With that being said, it wouldn't shock me to see them beat Akron at home ... it's a rivalry game so all bets are off, and bad MAC teams do beat top MAC teams at home ... see Akron-Miami last year. Akron beat them by 40 at home and then went down to Oxford about a month later and lost.

See Akron, for years, when they went to DeKalb in the mid to late 2000s.

BTW, since you brought up UC-Irvine, I'd hardly call them an awful team. Average, yes. A lot of losses. Yes.

But look the schedule and it's easy to see why, as an average team, they are 5-9. Losses to:

16. St. Mary's
19. Arizona
50. California (OT)
73. Nevada (by 7 on the road)
82. East Tennessee State
87. Akron
112. New Mexico State (OT)
139. Utah State
273. Milwaukee

Compare that to Oregon State's losses:

73. Nevada (by 25 on the road)
121. Mississippi State
138. Tulsa
144. Fresno State
162. Portland
166. Long Beach State
201. Charlotte
300. Lamar
339. Savannah State

Anyway, if Irvine is an "awful" team, what does that make Oregon State? You know the team that just beat Kent by 19 points.

Also, back to this game since you decided to cherry pick one state. Figured I would look at the box to make sure my eyes didn't deceive me.

Yeah, forcing 24 turnovers is the one bright spot. Why didn't you point out these numbers:

FGs: 21-76 (27 percent) ... that's hard to do.
3-pointers: 1-24 (4 percent) ... that's virtually impossible to do.
FTs: 7-18 (39 percent) ... again, that's virtually impossible.

Those shooting numbers are bad for middle school team, let alone a Division I college team.

Shall I go on:
That defense which forced 24 turnovers also allowed an Oregon State team that came in shooting less than 45 percent from the field to go for 54 percent. Oregon State came in as a 31 percent 3-point shooting team and they connected on 8 of 15.

It is really boggling my mind how anybody can even try to defend Kent State after that performance.
