I don't know if it's a type of magic or just the fact that it's hard to win on the road in the conference.  The more I look at it, not too many teams have that success in the MAC during conference play.  Sure, we need to pull a couple out of our back pockets and we do, like I feel we will today.  But some teams are just hard to beat at home and we are one of them.  Toledo is too.  That is why I was worried about the game this past Wednesday.   Akron usually has the success for some reason, but they don't when they come to the Roundhouse on Richland.  We have a very talented deep team and I mean, we won six games straight before Wednesday,  Six games guys!!  We are not a team that can go too long without a loss (as much as I hate to say that).  But, remember, 19-5!!!  That is not what I expected coming into this season.  I feel we will take a W today and not because it's Eastern but that's how our team is this year.  The MAC is pretty even every season and it's just each other beating up on each other.  That's what makes the tourney so incredible to watch. 

Akron is 7-5 on the road this season, Ohio is 6-4.

Most teams play better @ home than on the road. In Akron's last two games, they crushed EMU at home by 30 and then escaped Kalamazoo in Overtime. Can't it just be that down the stretch, Akron is playing better and finding a way to win games?
