Rivals just came out with their predictions for the full field for March Madness.  Surprisingly they picked us to win the MAC and even commented on the tough road schedule we have left.  Unfortunately they are predicting us to be the first 15 seed, which kinda sucks but I guess that leaves us some wiggle room to move up to a 14 seed.

Wow, a 15 seems low but if the teams he projects to make it actually win their respective conference tournaments, it could end up that way.  I'm sure at least a few teams like Cleveland State, Drexel, Nevada, etc. will get upset and we would end up higher.  I hope we're in a position to complain about the seeding in a month!

We won't get a bye into the semis and thus not make the NCAA tournament or NIT. Toledo loss was an epic disaster for the program. Likely knocked us out of a bye in MAC tournament and any chance at NIT at-large selection. CIT or CBI here we come !!!!!!!! Those that follow this team can see a bad shooting team that takes bad shots and is poor at foul shooting and soft on the boards.  We play good defense which keeps us respectable,but our record is more a product of a soft schedule. Our best win is a team that is 6-8 in the MVC and a team that is 5-5 in CUSA. Amazing how people think we are a team heading to the dance. We haven't beat any team on road in MAC play except NIU and everybody except Miami and CMU will beat them. Teams will throw a zone at us until be atleast hit 35% of threes. With DJ taking most of the shots were aren't gonna hit 35%. from down town. Were making 31% from threes in MAC play as a team. That doesn't look like a team that will win the MAC tournament.
