As bad as the last two games have been the rockets are guaranteed no worse than the 4th seed in the conference tourney.
I don't believe UT has clinched a top 4 spot.

MAC facebook only has Buffalo as clinched
Guess we hold the tiebreaker over WMU so technically we are in the top 4 no matter what. Curious why MAC didn't recognize that
Buffalo 12-3
Toledo 11-4
Ball 10-5
Emu 8-7
Wmu 8-7
Everyone else 8 losses or more

5 teams for 4 spots. Emu and wmu still play so one of those teams will fall to 8 losses.

Worst Toledo can finish is 11-7.
Bleacher Report just confirmed top 4 pick 1st round bye.
I'm going. Who's in ?

Is that what we are looking for now - 4 seed. Big f===en deal. This team still can't play defense, can't rebound - do I have to go farther. 1 and done in the MAC tourny. What a way to end the season.

Nobody has really talked about Buffalo losing 3 of the last 7 games and 2 of its last 4.

Don't care about Buffalo.

But a team people should be talking about is Ball State. Nice turnaround this season. After some in-season defections/dismissals it looked like they were going to be toast. They have accomplished a lot with 8 scholarship players. That's my choice for coach of the year.

Ball State was #2 pick in the MAC West Preseason, 13 votes behind #1 WMU. Toledo was a distant #3 just barely edging out #4 EMU

No—preseason #2 in the West. Their player defections & dismissal(s) were mid-season. I know a Ball State fan who says he thinks they are a much better team now as a result, even though short handed.
