Despite the loss tonight, the Rockets still have a very good chance to have a home game in the first round of the MAC Tournament. Even if the Rockets lose at EMU on Friday, they will still have a home game unless both BG and NIU win. If either BG or NIU loses, UT has a home game regardless of the outcome of the Toledo-EMU game. BG plays at Buffalo and NIU plays at Ball State.

Given that we've just lost 2 of our final 3 home games, I'm not sure playing at home in the tournament means much at all. Nice, complete game against Central bookended by a total collapse against WMU and a less-than-focused effort tonight against Ball State. It might actually be better for them to go on the road, especially if they can pull it together for a victory in Ypsi Friday. Bad karma in Savage Arena lately.

In MAC play, they are 6-3 at home and 2-6 on the road (will be 3-6 at best if they win at EMU on Friday). I will take the home game despite losing 2 of their last 3 home games.

The losses were against the top 2 in the West. Should have beaten them but still...

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that WMU is one of the 2 best teams in the West this season, and that they swept us. Aside from Wilder, that wasn't a roster that really scared me coming into the season. Crazy.

Haymond is awfully good as well but, yeah, a surprise. I always felt Hawkins was under-rated and grossly under-appreciated, especially by WMU fans.

Good points. If I recall, Tucker Haymond almost single-ha deadly cost us a game his freshman year. We were guarding everyone else, and he made key bucket after key bucket.

That was the first thing I thought of-he and the guy that transferred killed us while we were sort of containing the big names.

Hawkins has been the second best coach in the league for a while

So what is Tod's ranking?

In spite of the awful arena and bad weather town, he is still able to recruit to Kzoo.
