That's a little bit of a loaded question because Buffalo wasn't a typical MAC team for a couple years in that span. However, SBU was 26-8 two years ago which ranked them 68th on kenpom. The top MAC team that year was UB who was 27-9 and ranked 67th. So thinking they could've won the MAC within the last 3 years (let alone 4) seems very realistic. That same year we were 17-17 ranked 211th. And that summer Roberts picked us over SBU.

I love Kent as much as anyone here, but come on, let's be realistic.

Jee-zus ... I gotta find something else to do ....

However, while I trust Kenpoms numbers as much as any, I also know what I see. That 17-17 Kent team and roster was as much a reflection of the times (unevern with new faces in new places) as much as talent. When that team was good, they were well better than 211.

That team beat (a bad) Oregon State team out of the PAC 12 during the regular season and beat league champ Buffalo as well (also lost to them twice).

And if not for transfer (ADR) and injury (DP) - on paper - would have been a definite threat to UB the following season. Such is life.

You are what your numbers say you are ... and that was definitely a .500 team. But...

Good luck finding something else to do.
