Outside of the Buffalo Bulls, the MAC has not made much of a dent in national perception this non-conference season. That can all change this weekend, when Eastern Michigan takes on Kansas and Northern Illinois takes on the Michigan State Spartans. Kansas is ranked 5th while the Spartans are 8th. While the two schools are only a combined 13-11 and have virtually zero chance of an at large NCAA tournament bid, wins by either team could help a conference foe come selection time. The Toledo Rockets take on Penn, which is currently 10-2 and leading the Ivy League.
