After Kent State’s 92-38 drubbing of Clarion on Dec. 31, Kent State women’s basketball coach Todd Starkey praised the state of the Mid-American Conference, calling his first three years in the conference “probably the three best years in conference history as far as RPI.”
It’s clear by looking up and down the conference standings that Starkey’s praise is deserved.
Despite its loss to Central Michigan Wednesday, Ohio sits at 12-1, while the Chippewas are 11-3 and boast the highest RPI in the conference. Those two, mixed in with Miami (OH) (10-3) and Akron (10-3), are all true powerhouses sitting at or near the top of the conference standings.
