Any reason why MAC dictates start times? They get their money regardless how many people the schools can entice to attend. It’s not like the MAC home office is full of marketing geniuses.

Pretty simple. To host the MAC tourney - win out. If not, looks like WMU gets to do this. That's the most likely scenario at this point.

Watched part of Western and Buffalo. Western was challenged but won. We can compete with Western but our marjin for error is razor thin. Western will have to have some lapses for us to win.

Cards must win tonight to keep the #1 seed in view. Go Cards!

Looking like we’re most likely the 3rd best team in the conference.

Looking like we’re most likely the 3rd best team in the conference. I would have to agree. The big problem is we had to play bothe Buffalo and Western at their place for 2 game series. Never a shot in our building. I watched the Western match and thought we could beat them at Worthen. Bigger problem now is we have to play them at Western in the tourney. AND will have to beat them both most likely. A tall order. We are going to be better next year it would appear. Maybe the schedule may not be as bad hopefully.

Looking like we’re most likely the 3rd best team in the conference. We are very good, though. Too bad those tough OOC matches didn't show that, we aren't going to be recognized unless we win the conference tourney.

If we can clean up some of the service errors and Western is not as sharp today we have a good shot of winning today.

Western Michigan sweeps Ball State and will host MAC tournament. Broncos 15-0. BSU falls to 11-4 and 3rd place in MAC. Buffalo takes over 2nd place at 12-3. Toledo and Ohio deadlocked in 4th place at 10-5 while Bowling Green grabs the 6th and final spot at 7-6 if the tournament started this week.

It will take a lot of exceptional play to win that tournament.

Anyone have an insight on the incoming class? Are we improving?

This loss to Western was five or less points in most of the sets. Western had to play their best when these sets could have gone either way and they did. I think BSU played their best volleyball of the year and came close. Western will have to make some mistakes at crucial times for us to get over the hump. Buffalo is also a nightmare with their heavy hitters. I don't know about the incoming class but know that we have a great coach and will not bring in just anyone. Kennedy is proof of that. She is the Mr. T of the women's team.

Lady Cards squeak by Northern tonight to sweep the weekend. Buffalo loses to BG. Cards sit at 2 seed with one game left.

Not sure why the struggled against a sub par opponent. Northern played pretty freely except the 3rd set. Might have been one of those coaches nightmares, not taking your opponent seriously and then almost losing.

Played not so good on Saturday and getting our butts kicked tonight thru 2 Cards seem to be a different team on the road
