The magic number is 13. Win that many games, and you get a bye for the MAC tournament. Ball State and Central Michigan are already there. Northern Illinois just needs to win one of their last 2. If Kent can extend their winning streak to 7, they are there, and it’s simple. If that doesn’t happen, Kent is still in the drivers seat. Toledo and Ohio are the only other teams that can reach twelve wins. Kent holds the tie-breakers over both of them.
The Eagles have had a disappointing season. They have one of the youngest teams in the country, so they should be better next season.
