absolutely love that Dublin Jerome......used the A-Roo logo in the announcement the BEST Zip Logo, ever !!!!

Akron and Kent used up all the MACtion this year.

No #MACTION tonight. No game closer than 17 which is what CMU is up on Buffalo, who has played the weakest schedule in the MAC but they will likely be going Bowling. Toledo thumping Miami and NIU taking UMass to the woodshed.

Marshall advanced to the SunBelt conference final with a PK goal at 109:24.....to give them a huge 3-2 win over West Virginia PK was very legitimate...very clear handball on West Virginia in the box St. Louis still leads 1-0 at 80 the huge national upset tonight was Maryland suffering their first loss of the year in the Big Ten conference semis UCLA was 52 in RPI when their game started against Maryland . Maryland was 3 in RPI at the start of their game at 10 pm eastern time, UCLA jumps up to 35 in RPI. Maryland drops to #6.

Western Michigan advanced to Missouri valley final with a 5-4 win on PK’s i think they will play at Evansville Saturday night for league title West Virginia and Marshall still tied at 109 minutes St Louis leading 1-0 at 65

James Madison lost to Longwood. We got catfished out of a good opponent it seems. JMU has been ugly so far Milwaukee lost to Indiana. They kept it around 10 for 30 mins and Indiana pulled away

58 point win over Penn State. Sure I'll take it.

a big relief....for Zips RPI Vermont golden goal at 97:40...to give them a 2-1 win over #113 in RPI Vermont will host Bryant...in American East final at 8:30 tonight, Bryant was #4 in RPI and Vermont was #5 in RPI West Virginia and Marshall headed to OT... Western Michigan is tied 1-1 at 99 minutes

WMU beat Purdue Fort Wayne. 2-0 day for the MAC

Very exciting night of conference semifinal action Cleveland State advances to Horizon league final with a 2-0 win over Robert Morris Western Michigan and Drake are currently tied 1-1 at 89 St. Louis leads Davidson 1-0 at 37 #12 Marshall and #17 West Virginia tied 2-2 at 80 I have been watching New Hampshire at Vermont on ESPN +...they are headed to Overtime New Hampshire has 5-7-5 record ...and is 113 in RPI Vermont is 12-0-5.....#5 in RPI NH scored at 9 minutes Vermont equalized at 85.... Vermont leads 23-7 in shots , 11-1 in corner kicks let's go catamount,s broncos and moutaineers

Groce just said in the post-game that Stankovic was sick the last couple of days and that he wasn't planning on playing him but he was feeling better and wanted to play.

FGs provide some momentum as they offer some positive feedback for a good drive. Getting stopped on fourth down hands momentum to the other team. On two occasions the Zips were stopped on fourth down. Two wasted possessions or the surrendering of field position in a close games kill. I've watched a lot of football in my life. One thing I always notice is teams that play not to lose end up plodding along and winning a lot of games. However, Akron didn't play not to lose last night. They played to lose with turnovers, giving up big plays and sacks.

Conner Groce for threeeee

I think the Bulls might be turning things around. Because of their recent past, they have a pretty good schedule with teams that thought they were garbage. DePaul learned the hard way ... Vermont and St. Bonaventure are still to come. But unlike the preseason MAC favorites (Miami, Akron, Kent, Ohio) who rivalry aside only play each other once, Buffalo has two games each with Miami, Akron, Ohio and UMass, so they could still be a .500 team ... but also a very tough team to deal with if they make the MAC Tournament. Frankly, I think that's good for the MAC.

Brisco dunk.

Lineup: groce halligan brisco barre stankovic

Connor in.

Barre with a nice block down low

Filling up the stat sheet doesn't matter if you don't execute to finish drives, or when you settle for field goal attempts when your opponent is back on their heels. Certainly wasn't the only reason they lost, though.

Brisco up.

Conservative play calling didn't cost them the game. Akron filled up the offensive stat sheet. Games are lost, not won. Akron gave up six sacks. Akron had more turnovers. Akron gave up big plays. Akron only sacked Kent once.

As we can see with this, only five of the games hit that 'sweet spot' for games vs. Kenpom teams 50-150, and two of those, thank goodness, came via the Sun Belt Challenge. Considering how it is becoming harder and harder for top end MAC programs to get those 50-150 Kenpom games, Groce and the more veteran MAC Coaches should try to get one more conference (C-USA, Mo-Valley, CAA) challenge on the books. It would make scheduling a lot easier, w/the caveat those second round games are Kenpom-based, even if they are repeat matchups from the previous season. Just a suggestion.

Quick scores for both.

No, we all watched that play and the entire game. The only time Moorhead became aggressive was when they got behind and he had to.
