Nothing to say here, but one more conference (MAC) starts tomorrow and we’ll check in with the first full scoring update. Pat’s got E. Tennessee St. in a championship game tonight – I’m assuming Tim Smith will be in attendance, he’s got nothing better to do – and we both missed our first chance at a champ when Coastal Carolina lost to Winthrop in the Big South final.
