Playing the tournament every year in Cleveland gives Kent State, Akron, Toledo and Bowling Green an advantage. BSU chances would be much better playing in Indy, Fort Wayne or Dayton. Would love to see BSU meet NIU in quarterfinal in Cleveland. The MAC Tournament has never done well outside of NW Ohio or Michigan. BG doesn't travel well and has seldom been relevant. Hell, it was played for a number of years on Toledo's home floor and it never helped them. The entire MAC is beyond help

Sure, I'd love to see it in Ft Wayne, but then the cry would be that BSU would have the "home court crowd". I don't think so. Muncie is just about as far as Toledo, BGSU, WMU and EMU. It's nowhere close to the Kent/Akron clear advantage right now. Akron's campus is 45 minutes away from Cleveland. That's a shorter drive than an Indy alum will make just to go to regular games.

Yeah boy, just like we did last year when the "home court crowd" packed in almost 1,500 for the CIT game against IPFW.

Kent neutralized German for the most part. They have good guards. We have A good guard. We need to pound it inside.

I think DelaRose is equal to Moses the difference is Teague.

Per WMU blog welcome to WMU, where the best season is almost always next season!
Sounds familiar.

Western really a disappointment. Thought they would be a top 3 team. They played well against us, but at least as inconsistent overall.
This time of year most teams fans moan and groan. We are very good at that...
Too bad they lost, thought they were the better chance against Buff, can't see Central over Buffalo except maybe easier to overlook?

Hah! Western's next seasons suck compared to our next seasons. We have dominated the MAC next season for 18 years now. Three of our last four coaches have been head and shoulders the best next season MAC coach because they are always bringing in the best next recruiting class. Western fans can just STFU. We have a number of fans who can explain (at great length) how strong our next seasons are....including next season.
