CMU beat MWU, so we head to Oxford on Monday. Go Cats.

Can’t visualize something that doesn’t exist. The MAC offices have to be dreading the thought. May have to call in a few fixes to at least get some of the draws there

That will be priceless to watch personally.......

That said though, our draw actually turned out pretty darn good in regards to the MAC Tournament. I will gladly take that, especially getting us to Cleveland with Miami versus seeing BGSUcks.....

Bingo. There's already a buzz about just that prospect.

I hate to be Debbie Downer, but I hate this draw. I would much rather have played in BG, which I believe is what would have happened had WMU prevailed over CMU. I know the stat guys will tell me that "there's no such thing as the difficult-to-beat-the-same-team-three-times-in-one-year jinx. But, playing the same team back to back, both at their home arena, is the recipe for less than a desirable outcome. I will gladly eat a full plate of crow if OHIO wins this one. But, color me worried.

So Akron had the lowest odds of making it to the quarterfinals? Got it.
