  1. Not sure if this appeared. SS, first team all-Cal JC, Riverside CC. In any case it's reported in my town he's verballed to Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, who are going nowhere fast.
  2. Had to check on the DiBernardo bros, as Angelo was IMHO the greatest college player I've ever seen for young Yeagley's Hoosiers in the late 70s. Angie had 20 caps for country, 3 goals. Paul had a grand total of 1 cap.
  3. Rique had 15 boards with 5 minutes left. Thought he might go 20/20!
  4. I just noticed Middle Tennessee State WBB is ranked #23 in the country, on a 16-game winning streak. Not bad for a mid-major, but they have Lanae Riley, the much sought-after F from Hoban HS, who Akron recruited hard. She's only played in 2 games this season in Murphreesboro. Makes you wonder...
  5. Buffalo is a decent opponent. Middle of league, so convincing victory! I noticed Raegan Bass hit 3 of 4 three-pointers. I didn't think she ever shot from distance. Maybe Faith Stinson is giving her tips...
  6. 17/27 FGs. 7/11 3FGs. Can we keep this up? And if we do, how long can Kitten coaches last on the bench?
  7. Googled and found "President, Saint Ignatius Broadcast Network, 2009". 🤔
  8. "*At the end of National Signing Day, any prospect that signs with an FBS program, and we have not evaluated, will be assigned a 5.2 Rivals Rating (RR)." Finally! They've admitted it! 😅
  9. Volume looks like the Word of the Season in college basketball shooting. 🏀 Akron also, even with Groce's style is taking more shots and possessions than in the past. Is it just me, or are 3-point %'s down throughout CBB this year? It sure seems that way, but teams aren't slowing the shooting parade.
  10. The ranking for portal signees-- is that a current rank or out of high school? The national rankings I've seen seem to be based entirely on high school recruits, and do not include transfers. Another thing I notice from looking (for the first time in years). The number and % of 3☆ players seems to have skyrocketed over the years -- MAC schools didn't recruit that high a % of three stars in the past. https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/consensus-team/football/2023/
  11. Zips face 3-12 Central Michigan at the JAR tonight. It seems if there were EVER a time to give more players an opportunity to see the floor, tonight is the time. Also, Toledo travels down to face the Bowling Green Falcons in a duel with post-season positioning built in.
  12. If stats matter then John Groce should send a bouquet of flowers to Stan Heath.
  13. For Akron to contend, or even get close, I think we will have to beat both Buffalo and CMU on the road, as well as home.
  14. Sad loss for Akron today. Outscored by 17 in fourth quarter. 🥴
  15. Shout out to EMUSteve, a really good guy who I used to converse with 20 yrs ago on the MAC email list. HurEagles haven't progressed much since then! Oh, they DID win a bowl game!
  16. Zips lead 32-23 at halftime over 13-2 Bowling Green. Stifling defense is this team's MO.
  17. Didn't see any of it, but looking at the box, one thing stands out: Akron made 24 of 30 2-point baskets! That's 80%...quick math. I got Cs in the freshman math classes! 😁
  18. "You don't have permission to access this resource." is the message I got when I posted Dakota's #Zipemup tweet.
  19. Wacky MAC: Northern Illinois makes up a seventeen point 4th quarter deficit to beat Toledo at home by a point. Same Toledo that beat then #14 Michigan a month ago. Akron's 11-2/2-0 mark sits atop the conference at the moment.
  20. So...Zips have ANOTHER potential Puerto Rican National Team player? 🤔
  21. "The Zips went without a field goal for the game’s final 11 minutes. Players didn’t move. There was little ball movement. “Until we have better ball and player movement and execute better offensively, we're going to lose games,” Groce said. “So, you're going to have to figure out how to create more open and easy shots. The shots were too difficult. I didn't think we exercised much patience. I thought the ball player movement was awful. Last seven minutes of the game, too much hero ball over dribbling. It was just bad.” " 3 assists as a team is the fewest I can recall...EVER.
  22. That's ONE. Take a bow and sit down! 😂
  23. Did the Ball St. basket count? 31-30...or 28???
