Poor strength of schedule be damned, it looks like CMU is a player. Opened conference play with a win at Toledo.

Sounds like they didn't shoot the ball all that well either (7-25 from 3). They did take care of the ball (4 turn overs) though. I was skeptical of CMU coming into conference play, but it looks like I may have been wrong. It looks like we get two of the better team in the West for the home and home cross overs again this year.

Also, I was at the Akron Western game last night (72-52 Zips). Western really missed Whittington last night.

I guess we'll see. Everything I saw indicated both Juice and Drummond had bad games, so that could add to it a little. Of course CMU influenced that with their defense. Too soon to tell.

I caught this game and kept thinking Toledo was bound to pull away, but CMU somehow pulled it out. Simmons and Fowler make for a good guard combo. Meyer/Scott are two freshmen who also caught my eye.

I'm not sure they'll be contenders...but they might be the most improved MAC squad.

I think I jinxed them by saying something like "they'll run away with the MAC". It's only one game, but it seems I should give up on being a prophet.

By the way, the road team won 5 of the 6 opening conference games, including a couple of head scratchers (I'm looking at you UT and EMU...and I guess Ohio)
