MAC Bracket Buster Saturday recap
Bracket Buster Saturday for the MAC started slow with an Akron loss, received a boost with a Ohio comeback victory, then continued to show why many feel the M.A.C. stands for “Mediocre Athletic Conference.” In typical up-and-down MAC fashion, the MAC went 5-5 through the first 10 games, thus blowing a great opportunity to improve the conference RPI in these 10 games. It’s now up to Kent State to pull off the upset @ St. Mary’s and firmly plant the Golden Flashes on the bubble. Ohio remains the only other MAC team with legitimate at-large chances, but even the Bobcats need a hot streak and more than a little help.
