My dad went to, and is a huge EMU fan. In fact, he still brings up Earl Boykins and '96, and has actually showed me the 1996 Carrier Classic Championship trophy they have in their arena.
The MAC has been a one-bid league for the last decade. Was talking to my dad last night about their schedule. They're building themselves up for the conference, hoping they get the bid, and they'll revisit these teams on a neutral court in March.
The last time they got Duke on a neutral floor they beat them by 15.
