...just outside Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Wait, what?

In day 1 day 2 the quarterfinal round of the MAC women's basketball tournament, which is being played near the eastern end of the conference, in Cleveland, the center of power in the conference is clearly in the west. When the day began, three West Division teams were in contention against five teams from the East Division. By the time the final whistle of the day was blown, three West Division teams remained, with only Bowling Green remaining to represent the East.

Because the women will now take a day off before continuing the tournament, and because I like silly things like this, I decided to map the geographic center of the four teams still in the hunt. Turns out it's some farm southwest of Ann Arbor, in Freedom Township, Washtenaw County, Michigan.

What does this mean? It's too soon to tell for sure, but just to be safe, if you care about freedom, you'd better watch the rest of this tournament.
