WMU losses again to fall to 2-7......That team had kool, Gary, Drews all back and more......I thought they would be a contender for the MAC title with the guys they had coming back and some nice new recruits. I still wouldn't give up on them winning the west, but right now Ball State looks like the best of the bunch as they are atleast winning against the kind of teams WMU is losing too.

WMU lost to Holy Cross.

Miami beats Northwestern State 94-66

NIU beats Chicago State 93-81

Buffalo is beating FIU and Ohio is playing a close game against Lamar

Bobcats lose to Lamar getting hammered on the glass and had heavy foul trouble. Tillman 22 pts Orr 19, Allen 10, but nothing from everybody else......The youth had major growing pains as Ohio's Coleman had Zero points zero boards and 5 fouls in 10 minutes.....that is life of a freshman.....20 and 10 one game and double zero's the next.

Seems like Lamar is always a tough game for MAC teams.

Meanwhile Humpty is lighting up Dayton at the JAR as Akron leads Dayton early....13 and counting for the best name in the MAC. That's Humpty pronounced will an umpty...and tonite the Zips and the MAC are gonna thump the A-10 again.

Akron and Kent State blow second half leads on their home court and lose.....no at-large from the MAC this year as all 12 teams are done in that area and its not even the second week in December. Bowling Green and Ball State also getting drilled tonite. MAC is wide open this year as none of the MAC teams seem to be able to put together consistent play from week to week. Kent State lost back to back home games....when was the last time that happened...non-conference no less.

February 2005 is your answer:

02.19.05
Southern Illinois 65, Kent State 54

02.12.05
Bowling Green 77, Kent State 73

Wow...almost 4 years....bet you have to go back even farther for back to back home non-conference losses.

I'll let you handle that one if you want. Took me a while to find that information out.

I just thought I would share a little clip from our game with Chicago State. :)
