Currently 14-10, 5-6 in MAC. There are seven regular season games remaining.

@ Bowling Green (Last game - lost at home by 4 in OT)
Miami (Last game - won at Miami by ten)
@CMU (Last game - won at home by five)
Toledo (Not this season, dropped both last season)
NIU - (Last game - lost at NIU by 12)
@WMU - Last game - lost at home by many bucketzzz)
@Toledo (See above)

First - why do we always play Toledo twice at the end of our season? MAC schedulers just copy and paste these schedules or what?

Second - Murphy's 20 win extension would depend on either winning six of the next seven (with two against Toledo) OR getting some postseason wins in the MAC tourney (and he usually does).

Third - the parity is crazy in this conference if you ignore Toledo and Buffalo right now. Nobody else is better than 6-5.

I'm sticking with 18-13. Before I guess at postseason, anyone know if a 10-8 conference record would get home advantage in the first round?

With some luck EMU could get a bye to CLE with a 10 - 8 record (see my discussion in the thread on Kent - BG). 6- 5 now gets 2 of 4 teams a bye to CLE.

Bump. Since people have been curious about their predictions. I don't think anyone said 11-7?

I said 19-12.

No 5 game winning streak, but a 5 game losing streak could be possible in late January/early February, where we play WMU, BSU, @Kent, and @BG. Those games are sandwiched by two matchups with Miami, so any disappointment against the Red Hawks could mean 5 L's in a row. I hope this team goes at least 2-3 in that stretch, but I'm still in "wait and see" mode with Murphy in MAC play.

You might just get this.

No and no on the streaks. I could have seen a 5 - 0 start to the season if game #5 wasn't Indiana.

You might get the conference part, but I think you should be disqualified for too many answers.

You are still in the running too. Though no conference record.

Another one that might get it. But no conference record

At the time I remember not caring about the conference record, just if he got to 20 wins and the automatic year extension.

Hail Mediocrity.

The curse of EMU. EMU basketball went from surely getting a new coach to a couple wins away in the MAC tournament from EXTENDING Murphy! Here's the deal, EMU has only 2 choices; fire Murphy (unlikely now) or give him an extension because most coaches don't coach an entire year on a 1 year contract as a lame duck.

So remember, as you're rooting for EMU in the MAC tournament-a tournament they surely will not win, if EMU gets two wins-likely over godawful MAC foes, you will most likely be watching the EMU coach for the next 3-5 years...or longer? I'm out.

Welcome back, Bob. This forum has hall of fame and mediocre posters. All are welcome.

EMU has won 7 of their last 8 games. Nothing mediocre there.

One thing for sure Keno isn't getting an extension

Yeah, he trolls this team. He just doesn't get it.

For example: https://twitter.com/JordanStrack/status/...5763720192

Yeah, if I decided to get married again and invite forum members, I'd be afraid Bob would bring a divorce attorney as his guest (and she'd probably pass out business cards).

If that is the case, and CMU will evaluate his performance and make a decision, then the CMU fanbase will be "fired up" with the possibility of finding a coach who can bring them back to greatness, i.e. the Dan Majerle or Chris Kaman days. Meanwhile, the poor EMU fanbase, which has been shrinking for years, will be faced with the same old, same old. Poor offensive play, the hackneyed, boring 2-3 zone defense, and a middle of the pack record.

Knowing Keno Davis, I am sure he will approach the AD and say, "Hey, I didn't do good enough, I thank you for the opportunity, but someone else deserves a chance to bring this program to a championship level." That's what classy people do.

Let us know when Keno pulls an Al Kaline classy move and turns down his 300k+ salary or pays the school back for under performing. Ill buy you beers all night long if that happens.

But who cares, if you are on this forum, we are talking Eagles not Chips.
