Let's go MAC, best of luck to all teams this weekend!

MACtion!

BG men and Ball St women play Sunday.

I know the games for the MAC men are on the road this time, but I find it a little odd that the Sun Belt is favored in every one of them. Surely, one would think the MAC would sneak out a win in at least one or two of the games. I guess we'll find out!

I saw the same thing today. Every game they are favored. Even CMU, which has twice the wins of their opponent, is not favored.

I find it annoying that all the home games for the SBC are on a Saturday or Sunday, when school is in session, but most of the MAC games were on weekdays, and I believe school may have been out and students were gone, no? It also seems to be a bit of an unfair advantage for bigger home crowds when playing on the weekend over a weekday. Additionally, none of the MAC home games against the SBC were on national TV, but they somehow put Akron at JMU on national TV.... Seems to give the SBC better exposure. This challenge is stupid when it gives one of the league's unfair advantages.

One more thing... The home games for the MAC were against teams rated higher before the season really started, and have since not done well, but now later in the year, the better SBC clubs gets home games against the truly better opponent later in the year. Total BS!

It shouldn't be surprising considering to see them favored in every match-up. Not only are they at home this round, but in each match-up they have the better NET/Kenpom ranking. It's just top to bottom the better conference this year. That doesn't mean they're expected to win all 12 games. If you went to parlay the Sun Belt winning all 12 games, the pay out would be very large. It's not what Vegas is saying. I think the MAC will win 3 games this round.

Edit: If you did an 11 leg parlay for the Sun Belt to win each game a $20 bet would pay out $1350. Statistically Vegas agrees with you that the Sun Belt won't win every game.

Wow.... Toledo getting screwed by some of these fouls on App State not getting called. Really wanted them to win in regulation, can't stand listening to these awful commentators.

Toledo has no one to blame but themselves for this game going to OT. Really terrible clock management on their part

You're joking right? Refs gifted Toledo 7 pts in regular time.

Go back to your board, Yokel.... Yes, Toledo got absolutely screwed.... App State was gifted all their OT points by fouls, and they were not making the same calls on the other end. Not to mention the game should have never gone to OT because the refs helped App State get it closer with BS fouls at the end of regulation as well.

Lol

Really do enjoy our games with Toledo. Glad we have a FB series setup with the rockets.


Our schools are building something.

What a game Rockets, Maddox is a heck on a player. You guys are going to be tough out in the MAC tourney, best of luck.

Seriously, I get stoked to see Toledo and Ohio on an ASU schedule.


Toledo fans are 100% welcome to my tailgate.

NIU and #4 MAC scoring leader, David Coit, not even playing in this game today. He didn't make the trip.

Likewise when you venture north to the Glass Bowl !!
Appy State seems to set the standard in the Belt like Toledo always being at, or near the top in the MAC !!

Only thing funnier is Ohio’s futile attempt to garner a win in basketball against the Rockets in recent years !!
