Expectations were high for women’s basketball this preseason, and so far, those expectations have been met. 11 of the MAC teams managed a winning record in the non-conference slate, including Ball State going a perfect 11-0. The only team with a losing record, Eastern Michigan, has looked much better this year compared to last, and they have actually scored more points than their opponents on the year.
As of the 28th, the RPI has the undefeated Cardinals ranked 24th. Buffalo is 38th and Toledo is 62nd. These rankings give all three of these teams an outside chance at an at large bid to the NCAA tournament.
