The 2006 MAC men's basketball tournament , a part of the 2005-06 NCAA Division I men's basketball season , took place from March 6–March 11, 2006 at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland . The March 6 first-round games were held at the higher seeds home arenas. Its winner received the Mid-American Conference 's automatic bid to the 2006 NCAA tournament . It is a single-elimination tournament with four rounds and the four highest seeds received byes in the first round. All MAC teams were invited to participate. Kent State , the MAC regular season winner, received the number one seed in the tournament. Kent State defeated seventh-seeded Toledo in the final.[1] In the NCAA tournament they lost in the first round to Pittsburgh .[2]
Tournament [ edit ]
The top two seeds of the tournament were given to division winners. Since Kent State had a better record than Northern Illinois , they were given the #1 seed, and the Huskies were given the #2 seed. The remainder of the bracket was determined by overall record. For the #3 seed, Akron and Miami were tied with a 14–4 conference record. They had also split their two regular season matches.[3] [4] The next tiebreaker is to determine the teams performance against ranked teams in order. Akron was able to win one game against the Golden Flashes[5] while Miami was unable to win one, so Akron was given the fourth seed and Miami was given the final bye in the tournament. The #5 seed was determined through a three-way tie between Ohio , Toledo , and Western Michigan . Ohio had won its matches against Western Michigan[6] and Toledo[7] so they were given the #5 seed. Since Toledo was able to defeat Kent State in the regular season and Western Michigan was not, they were given the #6 seed.[8] Buffalo was seven games behind Kent State and had earned the eighth seed. Ball State was the #9 seed and the final East Division team, Bowling Green was the #10 seed. The final two teams, Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan were given the eleventh and twelfth seeds, respectively.
