My prediction would be we have precisely 1 team in each tournament.  I hope/think it will look like this: NCAA - Ohio NIT - Akron CBI - Buffalo CIT - Kent Andrew Ruck B.B.A. 2003 Back to Top Steve General User Member Since: 12/1/2005 Post Count: 710 Status: Offline     RE: MAC Postseason    Posted: 3/3/2012 3:16:33 PM  Andrew Ruck wrote: Is it safe to assume only the top 4 seeds will get a postseason invite (barring a run to the championship by another team)?  Would BG have a shot at sneaking into a tourney if they win 1-2 more?  Is there a chance Kent or Buffalo gets left out?

Hard to see Kent getting left out of a tournament. They won 20 games and are still the MAC's most recognizable program nationally, even though it might be time to pass that on  Back to Top TWT General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Alexandria, VA Post Count: 5,208 Status: Offline     RE: MAC Postseason    Posted: 3/3/2012 3:46:08 PM  BG has an RPI of 140 and if they can beat Buffalo and make it to the quarterfinals that would give the Falcons 19 wins on the season. With 140 post season slots available BG has a good shot if they an make a little run for themselves in the MAC tourney.

My biggest question is if we do make the NCAA's sitting at 26 or 27 wins will the committee give us a higher seed with Groce and 3 of his starters having played in the tourney 2 years ago. I know our RPI isn't very high right now but with a couple more wins it should be plus 60 and we will have a victory over at least one tourney team in UNC-Ashville Most Memorable Bobcat Events Attended 2010 97-83 win over Georgetown in NCAA 1st round 2012 45-13 victory over ULM in the Independence Bowl 2015 34-3 drubbing of Miami @ Peden front of 25,086 Back to Top OUVan General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Bethesda, MD Post Count: 5,580 Status: Offline     RE: MAC Postseason    Posted: 3/3/2012 5:30:42 PM  Uncle Wes wrote: BG has an RPI of 140 and if they can beat Buffalo and make it to the quarterfinals that would give the Falcons 19 wins on the season.

Especially since several teams will probably turn down invites to the CIT and/or the CBI.

Ohio if they can atleast reach the MAC final they would have an excellent shot at NIT and same with Buffalo.  Best outcome would have Ohio win the quarterfinal and Akron reach the final but lose to Ohio/UB.  Akron gets NIT auto, 1 NCAA automatic and perhaps an at-large NIT selection. That would be a solid year for the MAC getting three teams into the top 2 tournaments and perhaps a 4 team in Kent State into the CIT or CBI.        Back to Top TWT General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Alexandria, VA Post Count: 5,208 Status: Offline     RE: MAC Postseason    Posted: 3/4/2012 10:02:58 AM  oubobcatjohn wrote: Akron will be no worse than NIT if they lose in Cleveland.

I was looking back on the records and since 2005 both Ohio, Akron and Kent State have made the NCAA tournament twice a piece with Miami taking it in one year (2007). If Ohio can win the MAC tourney that will give the Cats 3 trips to the dance since 2005 which will be most in the conference since that time period. This could be the postseason where Ohio moves itself firmly into the upper echelon of MAC basketball programs up there with Kent and Akron instead of more on the middle tier as the program was from 1996-2004.
