Since the MAC did not win a single bracket buster game last winter, I see a lot of good chances for many wins this year, thus helping a MAC school earn their rightful spot as an at-large bid for the NCAA Tourney next month.

Look for our Sagarin and RPi conference rating to go up one or two notches after this.

Wins & Losses listed at the end of each line.

I see us going 10-3, 9-4 possibly.
Anyone else want to chime in?

I'd chime in, however I am a NIU fan, so I will quietly allow everyone else with DIV 1 basketball program to respond first.

Then I will cry and wish out loud for football to start.

Hope you're right. MAC needs a BIG day Saturday. especially after last year.

We are going to get killed. The free fall has begun! :mad:

After tonight's sorry performance against Buffalo, EMU better beat Cleveland State or it will be butt-blistering time in Ypsi. That's assuming Boone hasn't already blistered their butts. :mad:

College of Charleston has a very good team. WMU may win, but it will be a battle.

CSU blows this year. Kent beat them by like 50 points. EMU should handle them.

Yes, exactly 50--116-66. The most points scored this year by a D1 team against another D1 team. (Several teams have scored more against lower division teams.) You'll blow them out of the water, EMU.

The MAC needs some wins to raise the conference RPI and help justify an at-large bid. GO MAC!

My predictions are the same as "Art"s. I guess brilliant minds think alike. :rolleyes:

OTOH, Tony M. at CBS Sportsline has the MAC going 5-8. Not surprising, when you consider his undervaluing both Kent and WMU in the CBS Mid-Major poll.

Well, the ball's about to tip and time to "put up or shut up". :chair:

Da=da=dat. Da=da=Dat.

Took
Creighton

school.

Hello, Tony! :wave:

The Herd won't have anyone that can stop the big guy for WKU.......LOSS

We have more wins already then we had all of last year

That fact seems to get lost among all of the handwringing and calling for Joplin's head these days.

Buffalo 32
Indiana State 11
