Huge win for the Golden Flashes. If they don't win their conference tourney, do they get an at-large? If they get in the NCAA tourney, you can bank on them upsetting someone.

Also, Drake making a huge statement today winning at Butler.

NCAA Bball is heating up.

Kent State should win the MAC, but that was a huge win for them. I don't know if they will upset anybody unless they have a future all-pro Tight End and Stan Heath coaching.

Not an upset IMO. Kent State has a really good team. The MAC has actually been much better this year, I guess we're just not really seeing the quality of the league because they don't have future NBA players in it anymore it seems. Kent probably will get screwed if they don't win the Auto Bid though. This conference hasn't seen two teams in the NCAA tournament since 1995 if I'm not mistaken (that year Miami (OH) and Ball State got in). And I just looked it up, yeah it was '95.

I thought that the Drake win showed that Butler was overrated. They just kept squeaking by all these weak Horizon league teams, and once they finally played somebody good, they lost.

I think Kent St. gets an at-large.

I don't think there has been a team as good as Kent St from the MAC thar has not won the MAC tourney however.

They should be fine, as long as they are steady down the stretch, Win at least 2 of your final 3, and win at least 1 game in the MAC tourney and they should be fine.

They have some solid numbers beyond just there RPI, including a 7-3 top 100 record, which is much better then most teams on the bubble.

I titled it "upset" because Kent St. was a 9 point dog. Another game I should've considered putting money on...I knew Kent St. was tough.
