It was won by No. 4 seed Miami University over No. 2 University of Akron 53–52 after a controversial finish. Miami guard Doug Penno banked in a three-point field goal with no time left on the clock to give Miami an apparent one-point victory. However, after a ten-minute delay, officials put 0.6 seconds back on the clock because the game clock did not start properly when Miami rebounded an Akron missed free throw. Because of the win in the conference tournament final, Miami was awarded the MAC's automatic berth into the 2007 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.http://mac-sports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=42971&SPID=3803&DB_OEM_ID=9400&ATCLID=824248 Miami Wins MAC Title – MAC-Sports.com—Official Web Site of the Mid-American Conference 2008-01-09 https://web.archive.org/web/20110720085052/http://mac-sports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=42971&SPID=3803&DB_OEM_ID=9400&ATCLID=824248 2011-07-20 dead The tournament took place from March 7–10 at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.
