Akron projected as a #15 seed - if lesser teams end up winning their conf tournament they should get bumped - but it's looking like another 14 seed for the MAC if Akron, Ohio, Buffalo or Kent win the tournament.

I would be okay with a #15 seed in the Midwest region. As broke as I am, I could still make it to Columbus for a game, no problem.

If we get lucky enough to make it, most projections have us as a 14 seed. Six projections have us in with an average seed of 14.0. 

Akron is in by far more projections but at an average seed of 14.3. Buffalo is also projected in by a few sites, their average seed is a 14.5.

I could do a trip to Pittsburg, too.  I mean this is all super best-case scenario.  Don't get me wrong, we take the MAC tourney and have to play in a city across the country, I won't be complaining in the least.  It all starts with getting hot in Cleveland.
