Ohio is 4th right now and that's big with the better traveling schools in Akron, Kent, Buffalo and Ohio all among that Top 4. In some years a 3rd or 4th seed doesn't have a big edge in the quarterfinals against a 5th or 6th seed but this years its an advantage in both play and crowd support. That said, Ohio is on track for a #2 seed. Kent State has to play Akron twice. They are only favored in 3 of their remaining 7 games. A #2 or #3 makes for about a 60% shot at a MAC final.

Currently here's what that would be- 4-1 Ohio 2-1 Buffalo 2-2 Kent St 0-4 Ball St If CMU beats Ball St, however, it shakes out like this- 2-1 CMU 2-1 Buffalo 2-2 Ohio 1-3 Kent St win or lose Toledo won't pass Ohio in any tie breaker scenario involving these other teams.

LOL https://calendar.ohio.edu/site/academiccalendar Feb 28 - Mar 5 Here's a question: Why wouldn't the MAC as a whole make the week of the MAC Tournament the week they select for Spring Break? Not only does it help the student athletes by not having class, but it might help students have a chance to go to Cleveland if they provided an affordable package for travel.

It would be sweet to see both make it so the women's team would get a nice turnout! How fun are they to watch. Being able to watch so many of their game has be awesome!

However, plenty of hoops before March...Eastern Michigan will be difficult. #BleedGreen #TrentIsGOAT Back to Top Alan Swank General User Member Since: 12/11/2004 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 7,224 Status: Offline     RE: MAC Tourney    Posted: 2/13/2016 5:07:39 PM  OU_Country wrote: BOB&BEARCAT wrote: What dates are the students on break ?

Starting next year, OU spring break is the week of the MAC tournament. The university and Athens City Schools are aligning their breaks. As for other schools, spring breaks are at a variety of times. https://www.ohio.edu/registrar/upload/2016-17-Calendar.pdf Back to Top BBFan General User Member Since: 12/25/2015 Post Count: 21 Status: Offline     RE: MAC Tourney    Posted: 2/13/2016 5:14:42 PM  How much (if any) does point differential make?

I like what the MAC is doing, but seems odd that the West Champion wouldn't at least get one of the top 4 seeds. #BleedGreen #TrentIsGOAT Back to Top TWT General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Alexandria, VA Post Count: 5,195 Status: Offline     RE: MAC Tourney    Posted: 2/13/2016 6:01:07 PM  The reward in the new system is for the #2 an #3 seeds. Both can avoid playing the #1 seed until the MAC Final. A 4th seed sticks you up against the 5th seed in the quarters and the 1st seed in the semis. A 6th or 7th seed is a good dark horse than can tear up the bracket avoiding the #1.
