MAC Men's basketball is known to be pretty competitive. Even by those standards, this year strikes me as being off to a pretty crazy start. Usually there's some structure, some idea of who can beat who, some notion of a favorite...not so far anyway. There are really no bad guesses.
If you are a fan, this is really good. If you are a coach...well, you're going to sleep a lot less.
To wit:
| Northern Illinois | 3 - 1 |
| Ball State | 3 - 1 |
| Bowling Green | 3 - 1 |
| Kent State | 3 - 1 |
| Akron | 2 - 2 |
| Eastern Michigan | 2 - 2 |
| Buffalo | 2 - 2 |
| Central Michigan | 2 - 2 |
| Toledo | 2 - 2 |
| Ohio | 1 - 3 |
| Western Michigan | 1 - 3 |
| Miami (Oh.) | 0 - 4 |
EMU beats @CMU, CMU beats @BG, BG beats @EMU.
Ball State beats Toledo by 18 and UT beats Akron.
You start to believe in NIU, and then they lose to a winless WMU.
What about Kent. We can believe in Kent, right? Except they lost @Kent to Buffalo. (Note: Kent has played only 1 road game--against WMU so far).
Akron has only played 1 home game but lost @CMU and @UT, both main competitors for the MAC title.
Ball State is 3-1.
Settle in kids....
