Rick Boyages joined Baskin and Phelps and explained why he's confident Miami of Ohio will get a spot in the NCAA Tournament and why it's almost mathematically impossible that they wouldn't. He talked about the MAC's rise and how well he thinks two MAC teams will fare in the NCAA Tournament, as well as the process for selection and what matchups he's expecting once the tournament seedings are set.
Rick Boyages: I would be absolutely stunned if Miami of Ohio doesn't get an at-large bid
