MAC Reset


Ok, time for the reset.  BG would have clinched home court with a win at OU, or with CMU losing, but neither happened. 

Two more teams are eliminated...coming into the weekend, we had these guys out.

WMU
OU
NIU
Ball State
EMU

Miami lost to Akron and now has 8 losses and can't catch BG, which is slightly better because they had beaten BG and would have ended up with the tiebreaker.  Akron can still tie BG and under that scenario they would have split the series but I am told the other tiebreaker works out in BG's favor. 

So that's 7.  BG only needs eight.  A win for BG or a CMU loss @EMU would eliminate the Chips and that would be that.  Also, by the way, a Kent loss against OU would clinch the bye for BG.

If you're following for the overall title, actually BG had that one to burn.  BG still controls their results.  If BG wins out, they would finish #1 in the MAC.  That would require winning @Akron and @Buffalo, but winning a championship is supposed to be hard.
