At the end of the day, I get your point. If I have my choice of teams to play twice from the west, Eastern would not be at the top of that list. They play a defense you don’t see at any other point during the year, and outside of Buffalo probably have the most talent in the league.

Under Rob Murphy, however, that has not equaled success.

I'll ask again, who would you rather play twice? EMU's zone is definitely different, but they're currently dead last in the MAC in points allowed per 100 possessions. So I don't think we should fear their defense. Part of why Kent teams have struggled in the past with the zone is because we've been post oriented. This year we're guard and perimeter oriented which matches up with zones much better.

Look, I'm not saying they're bad, I'm not saying they're a push over, or even that we're going to win. Just that no team in the MAC is a given win this year, and I'll take two against a team that's struggled more than most.

I'd take my chances with CMU or NIU any day. Almost sure to at least get a split.
