I am happy to tell you all that <a href='http://www.vandelaysports.com' target='_blank'>www.vandelaysports.com</a> has posted the first part of our MAC Basketball Preview. Dan Whitmyer, who has written for CollegeHoops.net in the past, has compiled an extremely thorough evaluation of each team which I am very pleased with. We will also be releasing the MAC West Preview sometime next week or earlier.

During the season Dan will be covering the MAC East and Jonathan will cover the MAC West with weekly articles and information. I also expect we will hear from Nick from time to time as he is thrilled with having more resources to expand the site.

I hope you all enjoy the expansion of our basketball coverage at <a href='http://www.vandelaysports.com' target='_blank'>www.vandelaysports.com</a>!
Yes. Basketball is our bag baby. MAC hoops is where the conference is the strongest. So far wins over ACC, PAC Ten and A-10 for the MAC. Kent State can add the Big East to that list today.
Unfortunately Kent did not add the Big East despite a close game. A couple of disappointing losses for Kent, but this one is more understandable than the last.
Kent notoriously starts off slow and then ramps up incredibly for OOC play. I'd expect the same this season from them.
Not an impressive day yesterday for the MAC either. It's still early but if we can't take care of business against mediocre competition as a conference we'll be looking at one-bid once again.
The good news is the season is young. So far BG and EMU, two teams not expected to win their divisions, have the conference's two biggest wins. I think we are all hopeful that we will see a few other upsets of "big" programs in the coming weeks. I have a page with the potential statement games listed on the site but here are the next two I see that would be good wins for the MAC:
Dec. 3 - Eastern Michigan @ Indiana
Dec. 3 - Akron @ California
