The race is extremely close in the West, with 2 games separating the top from the bottom. The East, and the entire MAC, is pretty much decided, with Akron in commanding position. The top 4 seeds in the MAC tournament, and the bye that comes with it, are the most important part of the standings. If the season ended today, Ball State would get the 4th spot. The season doesn’t end today, and there are 5 teams just one game back.

#12 Miami RedHawks

(10-16 overall, 3-10 MAC)

The worst record in league play this far into the season will generally put you in the basement.
