Men’s basketball ready for stacked Mid-American Conference

According to some experts, the basketball being played in the Mid-American Conference is the best it’s been since the 1990s.

Back when Gary Trent, Bonzi Wells and Wally Szczerbiak ruled the league before going on to have decade-long careers in the National Basketball Association. Back when Miami fans packed Millett Hall to the rafters. Back when many current collegiate players were infants, and before some of them were even born.

The claims merit discussion.

The MAC is currently listed as the ninth best conference out of 15. The Buffalo Bulls rank 20th in the nation and only two MAC teams hold losing records.
