Congrats to Coach Simon and the Falcons taking down # 4 CMU Chips, 66-56 and as they move on to the Semi's. CMU during the regular season had beaten the Falcons twice.

Definite difference in level of intensity by both bg and cmu compared to Toledo today. Very noticeable.

Rooting for # 7 seed Miami to take down # 2 seed Akron. Akron right now has been playing their worst ball. Miami beat UA 70-68 in Oxford during the regular season.

Why ??
Would you rather have BG possibly repping the MAC in the dance ??
Akron winning gives the conference a better chance in the tourney than any of the others !!

this is true, Akron still a 14 seed, what would be the difference anybody else ?

Thanks.

But the two wins in the regular season were by a combined 3 points with a double OT and OT game. So teams were basically dead even.

Don't really think it's going to matter. The MAC team will likely get destroyed no matter who it is.

BG winning might actually bring more attention to the MAC seeing as they haven't been there in like 3 generations.

You should know better than that. NW Ohio is cursed. Hell, 16-16 Kent state (playing without two of their top starters) is favored against BG today! For what it’s worth, I feel that BG should beat them. But then again, when does anything make sense anymore?

Better than what? Nowhere did I even hint that BG is going to win! They always seem to find a way to lose to Akron and Kent.

And I don't think the MAC is very good this year, so no, I don't expect the representative in the NCAA tournament to even come close to winning a game.

I just think Bg is a better team. My initial post was more shock that BG is an underdog against a 500 team.

Oh yeah, I get it...I think they are better as well. But favorites are just vegas trying to increase betting to the max...and Kent is favored because they're basically home. Not to mention have had BG's number for several years now.
