No, no. I wouldn’t bet on that. I know I’ve experienced similar confusion when looking at ESPN’s bottom line for instance. Unless they’ve improved recently, and I missed that they have, they typically don’t do a very good job of distinguishing men’s games results from women’s.

And the part about Miami being for real still holds true... They are 3-0 now with wins over Georgia Tech, Lamar (blowout) and Stetson.

I've seen crazier things happen.

There's a good chance they'll be 6-0 when they meet UC on 12/1.

And then they'll play what amounts to a road game against UC in their own arena. That could be something to see.

Surfing ESPN+ Tonight
Saginaw State over WMU 80-63 - the Broncos are a special kind of bad
Sag State didn’t smoke them as much as WMU gave them the game.

EMU loses a heartbreaker at Northern Kentucky 74-73 - frantic basket-trading in the last minute. EMU opened the door with a bad Turnover on an in bounds play. They missed a potential game-winning mid range jumper at the buzzer. EMU should have won

Campbell over the Herd in Huntington by a point (ouch) - Campbell led throughout. Herd took the lead late, but lost it late. Herd Lost the ball under their own basket (with a chance to win) on a out of bounds call that required video review. Ouch, indeed.

BG loses at home to Norfolk (haha BG u suk). Gave up 53 in the second half. I'm going to the Norfolk/X game Sunday. That one might be alright.

When is Ball State going to relieve Whitford?

Is it true that Belmont shot 18 free throws and Furman shot 6, all by one guy?

Asking for a friend who is a hoops fanatic and thinks it sounds odd.

That is correct. All 18 fouls resulted in FT, too. Belmont had 11 total called.

The Chips playing the Zags tonight. Yikes. That will be fun for them. Can they at least cover the spread (-34)?

Talk about Yikes. Fordham just opened a can on Akron. In their last game Fordham lost to Maryland Eastern Shore.

Yikes to BOTH.

Also UK tops Albany tonight 86-61.

Gonzaga currently up 71-39 on CMU with over 15 minutes left. Doesn't look like the Chips are gonna cover the spread boys.

Kind of surprised LSU is not ranked. If they take care of Penn St Friday I have to imagine they'll crack the top 25 Monday.

That early 60 point win over Monroe must not have impressed anybody.

They had some votes in the AP Poll. With that Belmont win, I agree that they'll be ranked assuming they beat Penn State (which I expect they will)

I've seen crazier things happen.

The good yesterday was Toledo beat Charlotte and Kent beat James Madison. Firmly in the "solid" category. The MAC has some winnable games tonight... (also losable lol)

Akron drops another one, this on to App state. BG beats Milwaukee

Kent beat George Washington to get to the championship of the Naples Invitational. Buffalo lost to Stephen F Austin by a point.

The MAC is in two tournament championship games tonight. Both tip at 8.

Toledo is set to play Coastal Carolina in the Nassau Championship after wins over Charlotte and Tulane.

Kent is set to play ETSU in the Naples Invitational Championship. Kent had wins over James Madison and George Washington while ETSU had wins over Murray State and Missouri State to make the finals.

This is encouraging for the MAC.

I've seen crazier things happen.

It looks worse than last year.

I have written many times over the years that if bubble caliber teams play on the road against teams ranked between 100-150 that there is still a close to 50/50 chance of losing. The committee doesn't give much credit for winning games like that so these are the sorts of games you want to avoid if you are looking for an at-large bid no matter who you are. The MAC schedules have always been full of games like that. Even Buffalo a few years ago, who was possibly a top 15 team, lost several road conference games. We all knew they would. Unless you are one of the true national title contenders, if you play close to a dozen games like that then losses will probably happen.

The MAC hasn't been a two bad league in about two decades but it could still rank with the better mid-major leagues because it often only had about 1 200+ ranked team that was a very likely win for the top teams. Last year there were four (the directionals). This year there might turn out to be six. WKU still wants to join the MAC apparently. If we can't do better than that then why would they want to?

However, This is might be a rare chance though to Ohio, Buffalo, Toledo, and maybe Miami to rack up a large win total for a change.
