Permutations I

OK, so we're done with cross-over play and now we're gearing up for the home stretch in MAC Men's Hoops.  Let's take a look at where we stand....



Now, just to orient everyone to what is going on....the top three teams get a bye, regardless of division.  The top team in the West is guaranteed a spot, and that is indicated by the *.   Teams 5-8 get a home game in the first round of the MAC tourney, and the bottom four play on the road.

Clearly, for our Falcons, we are in danger of going on the road in the first round.  The teams we are fighting for the last spots are mostly in the West, which means they won't be playing Akron and Kent coming home.  Anyway, there is tons of basketball left to be played, and we'll watch it play out over the next few weeks.

Clearly, winning the Buffalo and OU games are key--but those are both away.  Any upset stolen against the big 3 would be great---and why not start against the RedHawks on Sunday.
