Third thing, he said was something along the lines of doing something different next time we meet. This gets back to why I still dislike OUr early performaces. While yOU don't win or loose the MAC or an NCAA berth with yOUr play in November and December, yOU can loose OUt on ANY (NIT, etc.) post season play. And, I believe we did just that.
Bad thing abOUt this team is that if they have one bump in the road in Cleveland, they are done.
We had this discussion back in Nov./Dec. and I was in a small minority that argued that games early in the year do matter (for Ohio and all MAC teams). For the reasons Casper71 mentions as well as for seeding if we do end up winning the MAC tourney. Not to mention how pathetic a close look at the MAC standings and the teams' overall records looks at this time of the year.
