At this point, every game is a must-win and all will be tough, but BG has made life a little easier having lost 6 of the last 8 games. No change between our hypothetical 1st round game, but they play Toledo tomorrow and we have games coming up with Miami and BG. Could be some shuffling in that bottom-tier.
Have to take care of business on the road at Buffalo and NIU to keep breathing easy.
Currently:
OU would play (5) BG and (1) Akron (or 8 WMU)
1) Akron 11-1 (2/27)
2) Toledo 11-2
3) CMU 10-3
4) OU 8-5
5) BG 7-6 (3/2)
6) Miami 6-7 (3/8)
7) Kent State 6-7
8) WMU 6-7
Ball State 5-8
NIU 3-10 (2/24)
EMU 3-10
Buffalo 2-11 (3/5)
Miami I think has a great chance to finish 5th. Which sets up the potential of back-to-back games against Miami to end regular season and then the quarterfinals game.
I believe I remember not too long ago we played Miami in the last regular season game (a win) and then in the first MAC tournament game (a loss). Or, was it the other way around?
2018. And it played out just like that. And both games were at Millett.
Thanks. That's what I thought, but I wasn't completely sure I could trust my memory.
Edit: It seems to me that this also happened years ago with another team that we faced at the end of the regular season and then in first game in the tournament. Any idea when that was?
