Why would we shoot the messenger of the obvious? I'm surprised we were mentioned at all.

Take back one of those losses and Ohio could be legitimately on the bubble. As it stands, there's just not enough games left to jump past 11 teams.

Of course, he's assuming that the team with the best RPI will win the MAC. Win the tourney, and bubbles aren't an issue.

We will get by.

I think you would need to take back both EMU and Toledo.

Totally agreed. It's actually fantastic that we were mentioned. (Not that we can jump 11 teams, but I guess from a potential seeding standpoint it's good news.)

Funny how every time we start one of those "hope for an at-large berth" or "possible Top 25 ranking" threads, the boys drop the next one. It's the Bobcat Attack jinx, or something.

I made this point very early in the season. My warning didn't stop it from coming yet again.
