Great Post Tim!

The sheer amount of parody in the MAC this year has been outstanding, there’s no question this – on paper at least – should be one of the more competitive conference tournaments

If by outstanding you mean

“Completely throttle the MAC’s chances at becoming a multi bid league”

The west is so weak that it kills the SOS in the conference and the East has so much Parity that no team wil emerge with less than three conferees.

Last year Ohio was, I think, the #5 Seed and they busted up GorgeTown Pretty good. The year before Akron was the #3 and they gave their opponent a pretty good run in the first round.

The MAC needs to go to tier scheduling and cut the bottom four teams out of the MACC.
