Always fun to see KU get absolutely spanked. Unfortunately, UC won a road conference game or this would have been a perfect night.

I guess even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while. It would be absolutely hilarious if X is somehow able to make the tourney and UC/UD go to the NIT after all the shit talking both those fanbases have done.

Dayton is terrible. They've lost four out of five to teams that are NIT-ish at best, and UMass isn't even a top 250 team. They have been channeling their inner Enron since the big win against Marquette. It's actually quite astonishing.

UC isn't bad, but they are in a conference where pretty much everyone is better than they are. I'm putting the legit over/under at 5 for the number of conference games they'll actually win.

Truth be told, X probably isn't a tournament team either, but I think they have a better chance than Dayton or UC at this point.

Now, Miami OH on the other hand.....

Could it be that they have the best chance of making it out of anyone in the Miami Valley???

Yeah, the MAC is terrible, but Steele has done a really nice job with that program. I think he's found his level (as has Kam Craft, who's averaging 16 points/game).

I’m happy for both of them. Clearly, neither was ready for the Big East, but have found a home in the MAC.

When you say the MAC is terrible, this year it is terrible even by MAC standards. I'm not saying that to crap on Miami. It's just not good this year.

We also may want to pump the brakes on giving Steele flowers. They haven’t even played the top 5-6 teams in the mac yet. It’s been ball state, and then the fordhams and DePauls of the mac

True, but they normally don't even beat those teams.

I still think Ohio U will win the league, though.

That's what I meant. I tend to think of the MAC as a very solid mid-major league. Not this year. It SUUUUUUCKS..

XVille, noted that they still have to play the top of the MAC, but when Steele took over Miami WAS one of the Fordhams and DePauls of the MAC. He's been wildly successful there even if they aren't the best team in the MAC this year (they're not).

That’s fair. That’s probably Steele’s perfect spot—-mediocrity or average is celebrated.
