Interesting tournament odds with Kenpom ranking. Is this the worst MAC tournament field ever?

120. Akron: +165
133. Toledo: + 275
151. Ohio: +350
186. Kent: +700
236. BGSU: +1500
257. Miami: +1800
270. CMU: +2400
297. WMU: +6000

Definitely

UPDATE:

Akron +200
Ohio +220
Toledo +350
Kent State +700
Bowling Green +1900
Central Michigan +2300
Miami (OH) +2300
Western Michigan +5000

Ohio is making a huge charge to be the favorite to win the MAC! I feel the same.

Ceasars just updated this morning to:

Akron +170
Toledo +270
Ohio + 300

I wouldn't mind seeing Ohio employ the hack-a-shaq strategy with WMU forward Crump. Not a starter but gets a lot of minutes and is around 25% from the line. I recall WMU losing some close non-conference games where late in the game he threw up bricks at the line that cost the Broncos the game.

Sure as long as it isn't Clayton doing the hacking causing foul trouble that leads to 20+ from Wiz.

Wish I could be there. Such a fun weekend in Cleveland. Do they still have that big OU party at Barley House? I took my wife a few years ago and they had a 4ft tall ice luge of a Bobcat.

Meanwhile Jeff Borzello of ESPN reports on what Kansas Coach Bill Self recently had to say about the status of his two star players returning for the NCAA tournament. I guess HIPPA either only applies to smaller programs or Self (and Borzello) don�t care. Maybe someone here can point out what the distinction is because it�s not obvious to me.

Hope you are right, M.D.W.S.T (no clue what that stands for), but like Leon, I'm a little nervous.

I could tell you the difference, but that would be a violation HIPPA disclosure rules.

Western is NOT the worst team in the MAC as they changed considerably when they got Brown halfway through the year.
They are a bad matchup for us because we have no one to guard Brown. They had 13 off reb on us so we got problems on the glass against them...

Please tell me who�s worse than WMU in the MAC Tournament because every single metric disagrees with your statement. They can be a difficult matchup and capable of upsetting us while still being the worst team in the tournament. They went 12-19 this year. We�re talking about the 297th ranked team in KenPom for crying out loud!

WMU went 5-10 in their final 15 games. Have the 277th ranked offense and 280th ranked defense in KenPom�s efficiency ratings. They have two Top 200 wins the entire season with one of them against Ohio.

They had a nice stretch heading into the MAC Tournament, going 4-2 in last six and defeating Akron but let�s not act like they�re suddenly a scary team. Their metrics are closer to NIU and EMU than Miami and Bowling Green.

If Ohio loses (which they could), it�ll be an AWFUL loss that Boals would deserve a ton of heat for.

Anything can happen in March. Ask Toledo fans how they feel right now. OU -9.5 seems appropriate, but just win..

Will Boals give OUr top players (Hunter, Clayton, Mitchell, Hadaway) major minutes tonight? A lot will depend on fouls and score differential.

Check out minutes played by some players on the winning teams earlier today: BG's Hill (40) and Agee (35); Kent's Santiago (40), Sullinger and Davis (34 each) and Bekelja, with possibly the least impressive stats among all starters in the MAC quarterfinals, (37). Akron had no players with more than 34 minutes (Ali Ali Ali with 34) possibly because Groce has a deeper bench and/or because of the final margin.
