Good job, Huskies. Huskies, you suck.

We'll probably start winning once we get into conference play. Just to make the conference look bad.

Ten MAC teams have 4, 5, or 6 losses, and six of those are between 6-5 and 8-4. Only UB (8) and NIU (9) have more. I think you would have to go back a long way to find such little separation though 10-12 games.

To show how crazy this season is, here are two seriously conflicting ratings (except for NIU!)--the RPI and the MidMajority's Basketball State rating:

RPI--BS---Team
65---101---WMU
105--190--Miami
108--159--CMU
114--129--Akron
158--175--EMU
166--102--Ohio
179--188--Kent St.
211--181--Ball St.
226--255--Buffalo
237--228--Toledo
275--213--BG
317--317--NIU

Or you can go by Sagarin's if you really want to muddy the waters further:

62 Akron
77 Ohio
144 Western Michigan
157 Miami-Ohio
158 Kent State
182 Toledo
199 Buffalo
209 Central Michigan
224 Ball State
228 Bowling Green
233 Eastern Michigan
320 Northern Illinois

Akron crushed Cleveland State 87-57. Best game by the Zips in a month.

Probably in 9 months. Good win.

Congrats Zips!
