True, Burden. Naming the best MAC team of all time would be tough. Ball State had some terrific, ranked teams under Majerus. My first year at Kent state, 1963/64, Ohio had a great team that went to the "elite eight" (fewer tournament games back then, with a 25 team field). They beat Louisville twice that year, including in the NCAA tournament. They also easily beat an Adolf Rupp Kentucky team in the tournament. They only then lost by 12 to a legendary Cazzie Russel/Bill Buntin Michigan team. I'm sure there are others I can't think of. Buffalo has a great team. We'll have to wait and see what they do from here on out. No doubt KSU's 2002 team is in the all-time elite teams, at least in the top five or better.


Sendy and the staff have to be applauded for coaxing at least 22 wins out of this squad, losing De la Rosa and Pippen and having Walker miss so many games and Avery a few, too. They brought in some good players to fill in the gaps.
