Shake off that Super Bowl hangover and, if you’re a Bears fan, stop drowning your sorrows.

Remember, there’s still MAC men’s basketball taking place.

Akron (17-4, 8-1) stays atop the MAC East with the best record in the conference, with Kent State (14-8, 7-2) trailing slightly.

Toledo (12-9, 8-1) stands atop the weaker MAC West. Despite playing in a lackluster division, NIU (4-17, 1-8) is firmly positioned in the cellar.

With the season nearly halfway through, let’s look at the players that are making the biggest impact.

Here is the 2006-07 midseason All-MAC team:

Center: Yassin Idbihi (Buffalo)

The 6-foot-10 Moroccan transplant has improved on an All-MAC honorable mention last season.

Idbihi ranks fifth in scoring with 15.6 points per game and second in rebounds per game with 8.9. Over six of those rebounds accumulated are on the defensive side, ranking him first in the MAC in that department.

Power Forward: Nathan Peavy (Miami University)

The 6-foot-8 Peavy ranks 11th in scoring with 14 points per game and seventh in rebounds per game with 6.9. The Redhawk is also shooting an exact 50 percent from the field, good enough for 12th in the MAC.

On defense, Peavy ranks fifth in the MAC in blocks per game with 1.19.

Small Forward: Jerome Tillman (Ohio)

Tillman is a do-it-all performer and his stats show it. The 6-foot-6 sophomore ranks fourth in the MAC in scoring with 16 points per game and third in rebounds per game with 8.6, over three of them offensively, which ranks him second in the MAC.

Tillman also ranks second in field goal percentage, shooting over 61 percent from the field.

Shooting Guard: Martin Samarco (Bowling Green)

Every team needs a scorer, and this team’s is the 6-foot-3 Falcons guard. Samarco ranks first in the MAC in points per game with 20.1.

When the game is on the line, Samarco takes the last shot.

Point Guard: Giordan Watson (Central Michigan)

Watson is another all-around performer who can create shots for himself and for other people. The 5-foot-10 Watson ranks second in the conference in scoring with 18.3 points per game and first in assists with 4.67 per game.

Watson also shows off his defense, ranking fifth in steals with 1.76 per game.
