  1. Past hour
  2. Transferring 3 days prior to your team playing in the first round of the NCAAT is certainly something.
  3. Today
  4. The mid major conferences need to band together to create their own tournament for those who don’t make the NCAA tournament. Let the NIT die if the NCAA is adamant about stuffing it with teams that don’t want to be there. I hope Indiana State or one of the others dominates the P6 teams this year. After all, North Texas won last year. The mid major conferences can sell the media rights to the mid major tournament to a streaming service hungry for content like Amazon or Apple and make a little much needed cash. OK, now someone who’s not me take this idea and run with it! Lol
  5. Presumably a lower bowl ticket? That's not half bad.
  6. That's a very fair assessment and probably the correct answer. I just hate the continued neglect of the mid-majors. I liked the safety net of win your conference and get the NIT bid if you don't win the conference tourney. The regular season should mean more than MACC seeding.
  7. Tickets from UA ticket office were $120 ea.
  8. I see both sides of it. Toledo lost their last 7 first round games in the NIT. The MAC was weak this season AND Toledo easily lost in first round to #8 seed. They offered nothing to the NIT. Edit: Akron would offer a bit more at 108 in NET and a star player with Freeman, but that wasn't going to be enough.
  9. Ronnie Steward PG. Gotta have Josh Egner too.
  10. Although Pitino did state he didn't want to go to the also-ran tournament, most of the time when this happens its schools that feel they were snubbed by the NCAA and then basically take their ball and going home in protest. That happens almost every year and has for a long time. It's no different than when bigger programs declining bids to lower rung bowl games when the feel they deserved a better bid. It just happens more with hoops. With teams declining NIT bids, it makes it even worse that Toldeo got left out. The MAC has been a one-bid NCAA tourney conference since the late '90's. Now it has gotten so bad we are a one-bid conference for the entire post season.
  11. Zippy is the #1 ranked mascot in the Field of 68.
  12. Notably, we're the most likely 14 seed to win.
  13. Yesterday
  14. It sucks that teams in power conferences that finish 9th or 10th (or worse) out of 12 get a nod over teams that win a mid-major conference regular season.
  15. Adding UMass helps a lot with this goal.
  16. Highs in the 40s this week... Play Ball!
  17. whatever happens, it will be an emotional tourney for him and the Mrs.
  18. I never heard this suggestion, but I wouldn't be opposed given the changing landscape. Ideally the MAC should be working towards their regular season champion being a top 60-70 team. That way they would be in line for an NIT appearance regardless.
  19. Who knows, Hurley might be heading back to the MAC (LOL) https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/asu-basketball-fans-call-for-head-coach-bobby-hurley-to-be-fired-its-time-for-a-change/ar-BB1jTP1q
  20. An argument could be made that Oates was better. Maybe Hurley too?
  21. The last time the MAC had a coach as good as him was when HE was at OU.
  22. A solid showing by the team again this past weekend, and they got their first MAC win, first home win and first MAC/home win for Coach Faulds. Zippys have a problem in the early innings of every game it seems like, and they get in a hole that's hard t dig out of. Went to Saturday's game, and it got very exciting when the boys scored 6 runs to take the lead, but relief pitching killed them in the 9th inning for the loss. Yesterday was too cold for us, and didn't know the game was changed to 11, but saw it was changed on Instagram after church and tuned in on ESPN+. This one was much better, but our bats are pretty quiet right now. They managed to manufacture a run in the bottom of the ninth with 2 outs, without getting a hit! 2 walks, a hit batter and a passed ball scored the winner! Not pretty, but the boys needed a win and got one. Nice bunch of players, sorely lacking pitching, starts two freshman including a Stow Native, and of course Sam Seeker is a local boy as well. Bring on the warm weather please?
  23. Ticket office told me they only got 350 tickets this year.
  24. Me too, but it would have been by horse and buggy I'm so old.
  25. Tickets bought. Timing and location is simply too perfect to pass up. Go Zips!!!
