They play in a better conference (RPI will confirm such) and have a loss to a 16-15 Temple team.
That loss is no worse than losing to a MAC team and yet they’re still ranked #1.
Now, if you’re saying that they’d lose more than 1 game in the MAC then I’ll revert back to my Michael Jordan gif.
I think tournament time may tell a different story. Of course the MAC wont get justice in the selection committee for the tourneys. I might as well tell you I was right about Marshall football turnaround this season when most of this board was totally wrong .
You do realize Houston is 89-12 the past three years, right? In those three seasons they’ve reached the final four, elite eight and will be a #1 seed this year.
They signed two 5-star kids in their 2022 recruiting class; one of which is a sure fire NBA lottery pick this year.
This year they’ve won at Oregon, at UVA, at Memphis, and at Cincinnati. They also beat two of the best mid majors in the country in Oral Roberts and St. Mary’s.
They’re a juggernaut and would blow through the MAC with ease.
Hey now!... Don't you underestimate that mid-week trip to Athens to play in front of 900 people at Ohio U!
Oldie, get back over to Pullman Square. Right now.
After reading his posts, I thought we were on Pullman Square, and was on the verge of breaking a forbidden rule.
Glad you caught that.
Oldie means well but he is off his rocker, more than normal, discussing Houston and the MAC. That Houston bunch is legit.
When was the last time Marshall won at Ohio U in basketball?. I love Marshall and despise Ohio U but I hate to see us play on their home court.
I know they are a great team .But my real point is that the MAC is not a garbage basketball league.
Soooo, 21 wins out of 24 against teams "below average" or "bad" and a 22nd one against a D2 team!!! Wow! Danny D definitely worked "overtime" to come up a schedule giving him 22 impressive wins. And, in addition, he really had to put his long history as a head coach into high gear and dig real deep into the 6 inch paper bag containing the entirety of his basketball coaching knowledge in order to go a sparkling .500 against the 4 above average foes to come up with 2 big wins giving him an impressive season's total of 24 wins. I guess in a season of 31 regular season games those TWO big wins over teams with an actual "PULSE" should CLEARLY earn ole Danny Boy a multi-year contract extension, at the very least!!!
who is oldeherd? That is not me of course. He would not know a good team or a good coach if he saw one.
When you go from Peneva to Goran there is a drop off. And not a small one.
You make this too easy for me with your lack of basketball knowledge, memory of recent games, understanding of mathematics, and so on...
It is a garbage league... It's the 19th best league out of 32 leagues, only hundredths of a percentage point ahead of the vaunted Colonial Athletic Association and the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Your opinion that MAC basketball is good, is flawed. There is nothing, other than your nonsense opinion, that backs that up.

No, he is the Oldeherd that actually knows something about college basketball.
Still not a 1st to 6th. We still had enough talent that year to be in the mix and we weren't. That whole team that year just felt like they took their foot off the gas after going to the tournament.
2012-2013 Marshall lost 94-57 at Athens. Marshall won one game at Athens in 2010-2011 65-57 since 2000. Check google and see that I am right. I want to correct an earlier post I made about the game at Michigan this year. I was central michigan that beat Michigan 63-61 not eastern michigan.

Might want to go back and look at the data. We are 2-8 in our last 10 games in Athens

Point is the Houston Cougars would steam roll the MAC. Not even competitive.
I haven't read this whole thread and it might have already been mentioned but MU steamed rolled the MAC this year lol
I am aware of that and glad of it.I love Marshal and no fan of the MAC.Houston did not steam roll Kent State as they won by 5 points on the Cougars home floor. Before you post you should read my other posts first.
Yes I was correct except for the 2004 game at Athens. Marshall won 71-68. Do not mistake that I am a fan of Ohio U was only proving a point. I hated all our losses to them.
I agree with muthed . It was like dropping off a cliff from Penava to Goran. If Penava could have come back like he tried to in vain we would have been right there again.
Not really just that I dont think the MAC is a garbage basketball league.
Are we really arguing Houston vs the MAC?
Go beyond the first half dozen basketball conferences and they are all garbage leagues. When was the last time a smaller conference won anything of note in basketball?
THey won. 49-44.
Anyway, Houston is 29-2 and ranked #1 in the country. They have won 11 in a row.
Are we still really trying to make an argument that Houston wouldn't walk to NCAA Tournament bid like 99% of the time in the MAC?
Toledo is the best team in the MAC...on a neutral floor I' have to have 20 points to take the Rockets!
