Bob, you may not realize but UB isn't a whole lot better than EMU. IMHO.
TOL was || much better (that is a symbol for one point
) better than EMU in the MAC semis.
That game could have gone either way. EMU swept TOL during the conference season.
It was decided in the last 10 seconds which means it was probably who got lucky.
I dare say that during February UB wasn't much better than EMU. I think we had the best MAC conference record from say the beginning of February.
Again, we missed our chance to advance to play UB by a made trey with less than 10 seconds left.
Based on ABILITY, EMU deserved to be in the NIT, but the NIT hosts conference regular season champs which get upset in the automatic bid tourney. Hence, no available slots for the EMUs of the world...
This was our year and we came || close to advancing.
I dare say if we can keep the team together (other than Bond) we'll compete with UB for the MAC title next year.
