I found this old college basketball magazine from 2005 that ranked us #86 in their Top 100 Greatest College Basketball Programs of all Time. I decided to use their points scale they used (with slight alterations) on all MAC teams to determine the best MAC team by:

NCAA Tournament Appearance - 4 points
NCAA Tournament Win - 10 points
NCAA Final Four - 14 points
NCAA Tournament Finals - 16 points
NCAA Championship - 25 points
NIT Championship (Preseason or Postseason) - 10 points
Conference Regular Season Championship - 6 points
Conference Tournament Championship - 12 points
Independent Championship - 6 points
All-Time Win Loss Percentage - percentage x 40
Graduation Rate - percentage x 10
First Round NBA Draft Pick - 1 point
NCAA Infraction - -3 points

NO MAC team has ever made it to the Final Four.
Here are the standings:

Ohio 345.18
Miami 324.26
Ball State 209.29
Kent State 197.72
Buffalo 141.79
Central Michigan 137.62
Eastern Michigan 136.3
Toledo 126.68
Akron 122.74
Western Michigan 121.85
Bowling Green 110.16
Northern Illinois 53.34

As lousy as BGSU results here; do they still have the overall record of wins vs Bobcats?

I don't believe we fared too well in Anderson either.
