Hold up fellas…the MAC is always a grind. Our guys played just well enough to win more than once in the preseason. As I recall, wouldn’t have St Francis beaten us if they hit a bunny with seconds left? Are those some bad losses by our MAC brothers? You bet! Will the MAC be a grind and challenging as ever this season? Absolutely. It always is. In the MAC one must win in Cleveland to go dancing. Period. Go Bobcats!
I don't think that this is going to work: "Well, Mr. Committee chairman, the lower teams in the MAC are usually decent teams that have a pretty good chance of beating bubble level teams when they get them at home. Our tournament winner often only had 10-13 regular conference wins and you usually gave them a 12 or 13 seed anyway because of that. Now, because we see that the 'MAC is always a grind' we respectfully request that you give our tournament champion who went 13-7 in conference a 13 seed even though this year a lot of those losses are to teams that have shown themselves to be quite bad."
Saying that the "MAC is always a grind" because it usually has decent teams 10 or 11 deep and that makes it excusable to lose to teams that are not decent teams this year is a cop out if there ever was one. If we want to be seen as a quality mid-major we have to beat the lower division of the MAC the vast majority of the time. If we don't then we won't and we shouldn't be seen that way.
