Only underclassmen on first team is Ryan niceeee

Yea this year Whitesell has to get it done. He's got a very senior-heavy roster. Failing to dance this year could lead to a fan mutiny on him.

Hard to believe this is the same program that sat by and watched Witherspoon not get us there for 15 years.

See you in the final again?

I really expect EMU to be in the top 1/2 of MAC teams.

Pretty accurate predictions, imo. Not sold at all on Akron who at best seems to be a team that struggles to score but can rebound and defend a bit. BG seems as complete as anyone with their new additions. Can anyone tell me why KJ Walton is an all-MAC player?

EMU top of the league? Not yet, although Farrakhan is a promising young pg and Heath seems to have the program moving in a good direction. If anyone from the bottom half shocks us I'd expect it to be WMU. that roster seems to be coming together and they got solid low post and perimeter scorers and definitely used the portal and recruiting to get better.

EMU, most likely to climb into the mix. Has three-players averaging 17.5 ppg.
