  1. MAC transfers so far... OUT Ball State - Micah Bell, Trent Middleton Jr Buffalo - Kanye Jones CMU - Derrick Butler(!), Max Majerie, Aidan Rubio EMU - Julius Ellerbe, John McGriff, Derik Pranger Miami - Ryan Mabrey, Jaquel Morris, Morgan Stafford NIU - Xavier Amos, Zarique Nutter, Zion Russell
  2. I wonder what texts our coaches have received.
  3. Transferring 3 or 4 days prior to your team playing in the first round of the NCAAT is certainly something.
  4. Presumably a lower bowl ticket? That's not half bad.
  5. Zippy is the #1 ranked mascot in the Field of 68.
  6. Notably, we're the most likely 14 seed to win.
  7. Adding UMass helps a lot with this goal.
  8. I paid $70 + fees per ticket last night for upper level, in case anyone is interested in comparing prices night of announcement vs next day.
  9. Good looking out on posting this. Ended up snagging an /25 auto.
  10. Yep, it was a really poor coaching sequence by Pinky. I'm surprised his handler, Jim Christian, didn't tell him to take a timeout.
  11. Nope - they had one remaining that Pinky ended up using in between Greg's free throws.
  12. Teams like St. Johns are declining the NIT. It's hilarious how pathetic that event has become.
  13. PTO reason for Thursday: Ask Pinky or Julius Rollins
  14. Nobody sneeze around this team. I don't want a flu situation again.
  15. 2 tickets bought. If you're not going through Akron, you can use PAT30 for $30 off your purchase on Seat Geek.
  16. When will the times be officially announced? On paper, this is the best possible matchup for Akron I think. No matter who were playing, we knew we were going to have to make our shots. So with that factor being a given, here is why I love this matchup... - Creighton is only 6-7 deep. They have 4 guys that play 30+ minutes, 2 guys that play 21-22 minutes, and another that is 9.8 minutes per game. In terms of production, they're even more thin, with 3 guys averaging 17-18 ppg, another averaging 10.7 ppg, and then the next closest is 5.7 ppg. - They're top producer is a 6'7" "guard" named Baylor Scheierman. 18.4 PPG, 9(!) RPG, an 86.8% FT shooter, 37.2% 3P shooter, and 44.8% overall from the field. Ali Ali will most likely be on him. Not sure you can stop him, but slowing him down is going to be required. - Creighton is 177th in the country in possessions per game, and only 1.5 possessions more per game than Akron. We're not going to get ran out of the gym with pace; the only way we get blown out is if we don't hit our shots, meaning there's a decent chance we're in the game start to finish. - Creighton is 94th in the country in opponent points against at 69.7. Akron is 30th in the country at 66.8. Regardless of the competition level, defense travels. This will be a strong defensive matchup overall. - Creighton's guards, outside of Scheierman, are 6'3" or shorter. We have the height advantage in the backcourt, and I don't believe they have any quick, shifty guards that can give us fits like Santiago, Sullinger, or Jaylin Hunter. Tribble staying out of foul trouble will be a massive factor. - Creighton has the height advantage in the front court with their center, Ryan Kalkbrenner, being 7'1" and their other 2 semi-contributing forwards (Mason Miller and Isaac Traudt) being 6'9" and 6'10" respectively. I don't know Kalkbrenner's game, but against Freeman, bigger isn't always better with how quick Enrique's moves are. If we don't make our shots, none of this will matter; we'll get blown out. If we make our shots, game on.
  17. I'll post more in the game thread once @clarkwgriswold creates one, but on paper, I LOVE this matchup. Creighton is only 6-7 deep and while they do have some height, their production mainly comes from 4 guys. It's a big drop off in production after their top 4.
  18. Oakland vs. Kentucky as the 14 vs 3 in Pittsburgh. Damn. Get ready to fly west!
  19. Wish granted - Illinois in Omaha vs. Morehead St. Duquesne gets BYU. Drake and SDSU also in that bracket as Zips OOC opponents - Drake a 10 seed, SDSU a 15 seed vs. Iowa St - oof.
  20. Congratulations to our resident Illini fan - @Illini Zip - and his Illinois Fighting Illini on winning the Big Ten Tournament!
  21. Rollins fouled Tribble Pinky started crying hard Akron goes dancing
  22. I wonder how much they influenced his decision to redshirt this year. Coming into the season, I felt like he could easily contribute as a freshman, and was very disappointed that he decided to redshirt. From his high school highlights, he looks like a stretch 4 that could've been instrumental this season. Oh well. Really hope he decides to stay at Akron and make a name for himself - he could be special.
