So far this is all i see
Nov 14 Toledo vs Florida ESPNU
Nov 17 EMU vs Purdue ESPN2
Dec 1 Kent St @ Kansas ESPNU
Dec 20 Miami(OH) @ West Virginia ESPNU
There will be three games on ESPNU and one on ESPN2 during the conference season that are all wildcard picks. Also, the MAC should have some games on Big East/ESPN+ (Akron and Miami's games vs. Pitt) and the Big Ten Network.
A couple I saw looking around...
Nov 17 Toledo @ Xavier FSN Ohio
Nov 17 Miami @ Pittsburgh ESPN Regional/FSN Pittsburgh
Nov 21 Akron @ Pittsburgh ESPN Regional/FSN Pittsburgh
Nov 29 Miami @ Xavier FSN Ohio
Dec 10 Ohio @ Xavier FSN Ohio
Illinois vs. Kent State Friday November, 28 6 PM EST: FOX College Sports?! Not sure what this is...
Nov 18 Detroit @ WMU Fox Sports Detroit
That's the only WMU game scheduled at this point

You mean that is only the first of many this year? Likely both rounds of the NCAA 's will be shown featuring WMU.
UConn may be ranked #1 when they come to Alumni. That game may be picked up.

If Miami beats Weber State on Nov 12, we would play UCLA in Pauley on the 13th at 11:00 on ESPNU. Coach's vs Cancer tournament. Dare I even say that if we beat UCLA, we would play in New York on ESPN on Nov 20 and 21.
Don't get ahead of yourself there, thats quite a bold prediction. To win an NCAA Tournament Game you have be very good and get somewhat lucky with who you end up playing, there have been some ridiculously talented teams that didn't end up winning an NCAA game, and the Broncs winning the conference is by no means a lock, as Kent State was the team that was picked to win the conference. It could happen, but if I had to bet I'd say the odds are against WMU going to the tourney, let alone all the intangibles involved in winning a game...

Any prediction, even by the media or coaches
before the season is getting ahead of yourself. Just joining the
fun.
Good or lucky? Been there done that. So I'm not deterred in my prognasticating.
Lock? Never thought of it let alone implied it. Thinking out of the box that maybe the MAC will not limit itself to 1 bid. But none the less I still like the Broncos over anyone in the MAC. By much? 1 point is enough.
It should be a
fun year and I already have started to have it.
yea i see that i hope that we have more than one bid too but in 2000-01 after not making it with an RPI of 31, and subsequent unbelievable snubbings of Akron in 2007 and Miami and Buffalo in 2005 mad me give up on that. I agree it should be a good year, and I'm thinking that the MAC will be improved as a conference overall this year in toughness, WMU has height in the frontcourt, KSU seems to have a sick backcourt. Should be interesting...
The NCAA did not snub Akron in '07 or any other year. They had no shot at an at-large bid. Some have argued they were snubbed by the NIT that year.
In my opinion, this should be the NUMBER ONE priority at the MAC front office. The MAC needs some type of basketball television coverage, it is embarassing right now.
I saw a couple games on B-10 network
