If Kent State wins their next five games and loses in the MACC, they will be 25-8 and will receive an at-large bid to the NCAAs.
Not so bold prediction: Kent won't win their next five games.
If I were U, I would not be betting against Kent State. I would say that we have a better than 50-50 chance of winning out.
Yeah, those overtime wins against teams with a worse RPI (Buffalo, Butler), certainly make it seem like they have a "better than 50-50" chance of running the regular season table.
they very well could win out, but there will be no at-large bid, sorry. time to put that puppy to bed, guys, for 2006...for everyone in this conference.
If KSU wins out to the MACC, it means they host a NIT game and don't have to play an extra round.
