Amazingly, the MAC got 4 teams in, which ties us with the ACC for 4th best. Big Ten 8, Big 12 7, Pac12 7, MAC 4, ACC 4, Big East 3, Missouri Valley 3, SEC 3, Sun Belt 2, West Coast 2, all other conferences one bid.

Teams with RPI listed : 14NIU, 32 WM, 34 Ball State, 74 CMU (won the touornament for the automatic bid). OU had an RPI of 51 so they were close. Frist round games are today and tomorrow.

Sounds like we were the first team out. That hurts.

Hopefully the ladies of the MAC can make some noise in the tourney.

How did Ball State make it with that RPI? Or is that 34 or 35?

I'm not sure what type of noise you were looking for. Perhaps a wimper was heard as the MAC lost all four first round matches by scores of either 3-1 or 3-0. Were they expected to win any or not?

All 4 MAC teams were the higher seed in their matchups, so I guess we were underdogs in all 4 games.

Thanks for the info. The losses don't seem bad under those circumstances.

First time since '07 the conference didn't record a win.
