Three of our next four matches (Ball this week, Northern & Western next week) are against the top teams in the West.

Needless to say, winning at least two of the three would put us in the driver's seat toward the regular season title and top seed in the tournament.

Helps that the West teams get to beat up on each other...

Seems Eastern is one of those teams that are either exceptionally good or putridly bad. They have been successful the early part of the MAC season and then stumbled, nice recovery when Ball came to town. TOugh go for the previously unbeaten west squad.

never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer.....

The game loves and rewards those who love and reward the game

Yes, it should be exciting and challenging playing three top MAC teams in the next 2 weeks.

OHIO's doing what they need to be doing- playing one game at a time and taking care of business. They're 6-0 in the MAC and if they can keep rolling and win the conference, they may not have to rely on a tournament championship to get into the NCAA tourney.

Last year, e.g., OHIO, the no.2 seed, was 18-11 going in the tourney and they probably had to run the table (which they did) to make the NCAA's. Although OHIO has performed incredibly well in MAC tourneys of late, tourneys can be a crapshoot . Sure, talent goes a long way in head to head matches, but there are other factors-preparation, motivation, how you happen to be playing at that time- that enter into the equation. Two years ago, e.g., a low seed OHIO basketball team got hot at the right time, took the MAC tourney by storm, then landed a big knockout punch on Georgetown. These things happen all the time.

One game at a time, OHIO. Keep it up, you should be able get a tourney bid on your season play, and won't have to worry about 'come what may'.

Big game Friday at 7:00 in the Convo against a very good Ball State team. Hopefully, with homecoming here, a great crowd will show up and support a solid Bobcat team.

One game at a time.

I really miss going to these.
