watching replay, Shammas was right by Amani and had his hands out for the ball. OT was in the bank. Amani said nope.

1. pre-game I thought Miami and Travis needed a 2007 moment and then come back very strong next few years. 2. Akron had the experience and steeliness to win. 3. At halftime, I thought "12 points" is doable, but I didn't think Miami would collapse like so many others have. 4. Watching replay, the game seems much closer than it was in person. The announcers were giving credit to the Zips the entire time, saying Miami had to be wary of the Zips going off on a huge run. Instead of huge run it was a slow bleed from Miami. 5. TAVARI, AMANI, AND NATE ARE MUTUAL HEROES. AMANI EFFING BOXED OUT AND GRABBED THAT REBOUND. TAVARI'S DEFENSE PREVENTED THE MIAMI BASKET. AMANI HAD THE ASSIST OF THE YEAR AND HIS LIFETIME.

You all are such masochists re-living the ugly past.

I stayed for the Toledo v Ohio game. My heart can't handle a game like that for the Zips.

A beautiful day for basketball. One game at a time. -8.5 and PCCC is -3.5

Dear God.

Brutal, physical game between OU and Toledo.

If someone told me in November, the Zips would be playing at 11am on Thursday in March... I would have thought..."lucky we made the 8th seed."😊

FWIW: BG women blew a 13 point second half lead v Buffalo and lost and their band was really bad, too.

Any MAC coach would or should want him on their team. Frankly, any of the Zips top ten would be a benefit to them. You wonder how a player like Nate would flourish without this staff and teammates.

All-MAC Third Team AJ Clayton, Senior, Forward, Ohio Wasn't Clayton pre-season POY? and Nate wasn't included in first team?

IDK...taking four of the 5 big awards is pretty good!

https://overthepylon.boards.net/thread/5871/mac-poy nice discussion of Zips basketball and POY candidates from our friends at Over the Pylon.

Why don't we just start "John's Next Endeavor" or "Keeping up with John and Dustin" and get it over with.

That JAR is really holding this team back. 25-6 and 17-1 and UNDEFEATED AT HOME. What a hell scape.

Which only confirms that this thread and some comments are a trolling exercise.

No.

Groce chose NOT to allow this team to devolve into mediocrity in age of transfer portal and NIL.

Miami, Kent, OU, Akron in MAC blue blood semis.

BPI + KPI + NET + KENPOM + SOR + TOR + WAB and divide by 7.

I guess there is a reward for being only "a good team in a bad conference."

I like the idea of re-seeding the teams. However, this year not much difference between 4/5/6/7. If they allowed all the teams to play in, then the re-seeding would be a super benefit.

Says a lot about the program that Ali would come back to the game and do this.
