My Picks

First Round - Buffalo over Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan over Northern Illinois, Miami over Bowling Green
Second Round - Buffalo over Ball State, Eastern Michigan over Miami
Quarterfinals - Kent State over Eastern Michigan, Buffalo over Western Michigan
Semi-Finals - Akron over Kent State, Ohio over Buffalo (with both games very close)
Finals - Ohio over Akron

It's worth noting that if Akron has Abreu, I am extremely confident they win this tournament. With Abreu, they were simply a better team this year than OU. Without him, I think Cooper gets in Akron's heads and goes off. I still think Akron keeps it close, but OU wins by 6.

(Side note: I hope I am dead wrong on the final. )

I don't understand how BG can get out of the first. Crawford will literally have to shoot as well as he did against Buffalo, and I just don't see it happening.

Called that. Crawford and Calhoun end their careers with a combined effort of 7-25 from the field. How do you go 4-15? I just don't understand it.

Letting Abreu play would be an absolute joke. He did what he did, unfortunately his teammates suffer for it. If this was at the beginning of the season, it wouldn't even be in discussion to let him play. They'd suspend him and not one person would complain.

Yea, Abreu better not play in a Zips uniform ever again.
