Threw this together on the MAC board and thought some here might find it interesting as well. 

Did my best using ESPN, the mac site and some team pages to piece together / update week 1. I tried not to list canceled games, but can't promise I removed them all. TV / web casts listed when I could find them. I also put the available lines up from Vegas insider. (Note: Flohoops.com is a subscription service.  Per their website plans start at $12.50 a month)

Interested to see how BG does against Michigan. Hopefully they hang in there.

I'm watching North Dakota/Miami. Miami has a transfer forward from Oakland that looks pretty nice - probably their second best player behind Dae Dae Grant. They otherwise don't look that special again.

The MAC went 2-6 on opening day... Ohio and Miami were the lone victories. NIU blew a 20 half time lead. Toledo and Ball State lost close ones to Bradley and Northern Kentucky respectively.

Too lazy to create a new thread.

Watched BG last night against Appalachian State. Falcons three Seniors are extremely talented. They fell into stretches where they struggled with ball movement but Turner and Diggs can overcome that on their own. They have a freshman named Kaden Metheny, who can and will shoot from anywhere. He is a guy I think we can exploit though. He's 5'11", maybe 160 but doesn't look that big. I seriously don't know who he is going to guard when they play us. Appy's PG wasn't that big so it didn't show as much last night but I kept thinking that McDay or Preston would eat this guy alive.



Measuring stick game tonight at Toledo takes on Cleveland State at 7

Toledo played Xavier pretty tough the other night.

But so have Bradley and Eastern Kentucky. So take that for what it's worth.

Jason Carter had 20, 11 & 4 in that X-EKU game. He's been hitting the boards pretty hard so far.

Who is this Jason Carter you speak of. His name sounds vaguely familiar, like i heard it in the past but now, I fail to conjure up his visage upon my consciousness.

Final... Flagler 92 Central Michigan 73. Flagler is not a D1 program... but this is their first win vs a D1 team.... but hey at least they haven’t had a winning season since 2007-08. Yikes!

All the directionals are going to suck this year. NIU just got waxed by SIU-Edwardsville.

Good year for us to play more West teams. Not good for our RPI (or any ranking) but should be good for our winning %.

Central got a win over a likely very poor Western Illinois team. It was on the road and the way the Chips were looking that is at least something in their column.

Close game but the lack of sharing the ball is striking from both teams. With 11 minutes to go the teams have combined for a total of 8 assists. Great athletes on both sides but it's like watching a team of Taevion Kirks go against a team of Taevion Kirks.

Watching and seeing wide open looks on the arc but any Buffalo player in the lane has been shooting no matter how many white jersies are guarding him. It is interesting. The little PG from BG is at least looking to make a play. Frye is gone? Seems like a short career. Our first 3 games are going to set the tone. All are Coach's poll top 5.
