MAC Basketball "Golf Standings"
I feel the need to bring back these standings as I always found them interesting and quite telling.

Once again, the MAC Basketball Teams will be competing for the Beta Bell Tower Cup by earning a par for a home win or road loss, a birdie for a road win or a bogey for a home loss. Please feel free to correct my math along the way as I tend to drink more as the winter drags on.

BGSU -1
Miami E
Ohio U E
Akron E
Kent E
Toledo +1

Out of Staters
BSU -1
CMU E
WMU E
Buffalo E
NIU E
EMU +1

Yeah. But the starter wouldn't let more than five out in a group.

Why are these in groups? And, why did you leave out Akron and Western Michigan?

I’d have put the low handicappers in one foursome, the mids in another, and the hackers in the last group. Anybody ***** about not being able to play in a big group can throw their clubs in their trunks and get the hell off my course!

Looking at the end-game (last six) this seems like it's Toledo's title to lose.

They Rockets lay Akron at home among the top three, then a potpourri of bottom feeders before ending the season at Ball State. Everything could be decided by then.

Kent has Eastern Michigan, Ball State, Ohio and Akron -- three of those four are at home, but none is a gimme, including EMU despite their record. If the Eagles make the final 8, I doubt anybody wants to see them in a one-and-done situation.

Akron has the toughest road with Eastern, Buffalo, Toledo, Ball State and Kent. Eastern, Toledo and Kent are on the road. A guantlet to be sure, but the perfect prep for the MAC Tournament no matter what seed they finish.


As for the back end ... it looks like a three-team battle for No. 8 between Bowling Green, Central and Eastern. EMU is one game back of the other two but only plays BG on the road in head-to-head. Likely need that game, to even out head-to-head tiebreaker, plus at least two more wins out of Akron Kent, Western and Northern Illinois. Daunting, but if Bates goes on a heater not impossible.

BG plays Eastern, Central, Miami and Ohio among its last six, so fate is definitely in their hands especially with Central and Eastern at home.

CMU likely needs to pull off two road wins at BG-Buff-WMU to keep the other two on the outside looking in -- but dangerous home game vs. NIU can't be overlooked.
