  1. KReed is 100% correct. Someone on the Creighton board wrote simply that the Zips are inconsistent and prone to scoring droughts. Those droughts occurred in all 3 MAC tournament games. I think the 2022 Zips were a better team at this point in the season compared to the 2024 team. Creighton will be tough sledding for these guys. I cleared my calendar for the MAC tournament but not for Thursday. When the Zips make it to Saturday, I will be there.
  2. 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.
  3. John Groce 4-0 in MAC Tournament Finals. Last 4 years: 2020 MAC regular season champ, 2021 MAC Semi Finals (covid year), 2022 MAC tournament champion, 2023 MAC Semi Finals, 2024 MAC tournament champion. He is an amazing coach who knows whom he trusts in crunch time.
  4. There's a priority point system. The $ and frequency of donations, years of season tickets, future gifts, etc are all considered. Also, I think players' families move to top of list. This is how it's done at every school. If you want control over your destiny, by from SeatGeek.
  5. First suggestion: do some research. If you were familiar with the Zips on basic level you would know Garvin was a guard, who played pretty well during the 2022 championship run.
  6. VCU could be knocked out today, opening up a 13. Not sure where the Dukes would fall into place. UC Davis replaced by LCJ's first school Long Beach State. Fairfield is also out.
  7. Bring an autograph book and a sharpie. And the guys sure don't mind taking pics with the fans.
  8. Zips men and Flashes women to the NCAA. Maybe KD will win today and there will be something for everyone.
  9. the watch party is rather anti-climatic. I've gone to a few. You wait around and then hear "UCLA in Portland" or "VCU in Detroit." And you are like "is that all there is?" I think this one may be a bit more special because of the seniors.
  10. Zips 13th seed in the Death Valley Region.
  11. Groce 4-0 in MAC finals. Maybe he knows what players to play and trust in the most important of crunch times.
  12. Akron just jumped to the #1 KenPom "Luck" ranking. After 2007, 2010, 2012, and that Buffalo game, Zips had the Gods on their side.
  13. This team. Their ups and downs. The scrounging for points. The comebacks. The losses of big leads. The membership in the "Bricklayers Union" has certainly stressed this message board to the brink. The fact that after all this crazy the final game is Akron v Kent is surreal. 16 points in the first half of MAC semi final? and win? the only tiny glimmer of hope was that OU only had 26. Groce beats Boals and Ohio in Cleveland. Big Deal.
  14. Same old garbage on here from the haters. When things go bad for a game, they go down to their basements and troll the rest of us. It's sad that they find pleasure in being douchebags.
