Before the MAC Tournament starts tomorrow (! - preview and all sort of Women's stuff in the morning) at Alumni Arena and (for us, at least) Wednesday at the Q, I find myself not at all ready to really look at the bracket and each team's path to a championship.
Considering where we were at the start of this season, with both teams, I'm really quite pleased with things, even if MAC play has been inconsistent for both.
I've written plenty about Men's Hoops' tumultuous offseason, but just to recap as succinctly as possible: Nate Oats has had at his disposal in 2015-16 only three players who ever saw the floor for the 2015 MAC Champions and still found a winning record overall and in the MAC and a trip straight to Cleveland, largely built on recruits who only made their way to Buffalo when spots opened up late in the recruiting process.
