Bobcats had a must win game in Muncie and got it. Up coming schedule is brutal for Ohio. Ohio has 3 tough home games left and 4 MAC road games plus a road non-conference game at Arkansas State. 7-4 and three games ahead of Ball State plus the head to head tie breaker likely gets the Bobcats to Cleveland.

So much of tournament seeding once you get into the 1 bid conferences depends on who wins their conference tournaments. Using the SoCon as an example. Most bracketologists have Samford seeded ahead of Akron, deservingly so. Now if suddenly another team in SoCon wins the tournament, Samford misses the tournament altogether and Akron would suddenly climb up a spot on the seed list. That's what makes the field hard to predict.

Yes, it was a big win last night especially how it came about. We started off on a 13-0 run to open the game, but Ball State came back in the second half to take the lead. But, we were able to put up 12 points in OT to get the win!
