2012-13 SCHEDULING - The men's basketball team still has some games to schedule for next season, but a fair number of opponents are set. The groundwork for a lot of scheduling is annually done at the Final Four when representatives for almost all Division I teams are in the same place.

...

The Bobcats and Eastern Michigan will travel to Mullins and the Minutemen will play at Miami-Ohio and Northern Illinois as part of the new annual four-game Mid-American Conference schedule commitment that comes with joining the league in football.

Hopefully the Minutemen are still coming to DeKalb for football so we can trade arse whoopings.

Heck no lets go for the upset and 2-0.

I like the "4 game bball commitment", may help ease them in for all sports.

Miami-Ohio

Dear Gazettenet and UMass fans: You are MAC now, so lets act like it.

Miami University was founded more than 120 years before Miami of Florida. In fact, Miami University was a university when Florida still belonged to Spain. As such, there is no need to hypenate Miami-Ohio. They are the real Miami. That other school is Miami-Florida, and should be treated like the newcomer they are, and always will be, when referencing institutes of higher learning with "Miami" in their name.
