The last week of MAC regular season play saw several competitive matchups between teams headed to the tournament in Cleveland this week.
Toledo grabbed the top spot in the conference with a close road win over fourth-place Ball State while Kent State won close battles with in-state rivals Ohio and Akron to take the two-seed.
Miami was the only team that had to do something to keep its spot in the tournament which they did with a win over Western Michigan.
The three Michigan teams ended each of their disappointing seasons finishing with a combined record of 14–40 in the conference and 67 losses overall.
