Rewatching the 14 minutes of the game. ESPN needs to figure out how to capture the crowd noise better. That place was so loud and you would never know watching on TV.

Something tells me Kowalchoke is enemy #1 at Akron right now.

They keep saying it'll be a home game for Miami OH. I won't believe it until I see a +20 Free Throw Attempt advantage for the Redhawks.

We haven't won a tourney game before - I'm all for mixing it up. -

Miami OH losing put all the pressure on the Zips in Cleveland. They took their foot off the gas to seemingly conserve energy vs. Buffalo. Then they couldn't re-engage how they wanted and the offense struggled the rest of the tournament. Watching their shooting motions, they looked to be aiming. They weren't confident in their shots and were trying to be precise, hence why the majority of the shots were short. I do not expect the same type of performance in Tampa. Not saying they'll shoot lights out, but I expect a better flow and more confidence offensively. -

88% of the money is on Akron ML. -

~40% from 3P and we win this game. Maintain an up-tempo pace - run these guys out of the gym. They're not deep, they're not tall, and Akron is due. Play with confidence. -
I'd be hammering SMU. UMass shot 3-15 (20%) from 3P and beat Miami OH because of 6'9" Bettiol. SMU has a 7'2" C and 4 guards/forwards that shoot 37% or better from 3P.

Thanks for setting this up!

Definitely getting the Golf Club Head Cover and Zippy Puzzle. How cool are those?!

One of the sides has a Fear the Roo Collective patch. Just ordered mine. Also ordering a GV Artwork shirt since it financially benefits the Zips as well.

Akron to the Sweet Sixteen?

I looped Shammah's game winner to easily show just how many Akron fans were in the crowd. Normally you can see a definitive line where Akron's fans are vs. the opponent's fans. Not Saturday night; Akron fans wrapped all the way around. 11k in attendance and probably ~9k were Zips fans. Previous MAC title games - including vs. Kent - only saw 7-8k total attendance. What an incredible showing by Zips Nation!

I made the mistake of buying tickets early for the Creighton game in Pittsburgh a few years back. I think they were ~$200 a piece +/-. The day before the game or the day of, they were $30 each. Outside of Florida, I'm not sure you're going to get a huge draw from many other fan bases. Heck, even Florida fans might not be interested in the spending the money to see them play Lehigh or PVAMU. Clemon & Bama might bring some, but the Pittsburgh location a few years ago had Kentucky playing later that day and prices still plummeted. Be patient and keep an eye on ticket prices.

To be fair, that clip is showing a vertical-angle cell phone shot that cuts the defender out. Prior to this, while Shammah was dribbling the air out of the ball near half-court, the defender was on his butt. The defender not shown in this footage was actually at or a little beyond the 3P line. Shammah hit that stepback from Canal Park essentially which is exactly what Toledo wanted. Akron wasn't shooting the 3ball well all night, they kept the Zips out of the paint by design on the last possession and gave Shammah a contested stepback 3 from WAY downtown. He hit it and the rest is history. I don't think they'd ever change their game plan except for maybe try to force the ball out of Shammah's hands, although I don't know if they fully expected the ball to stay in Shammah's hands the entire possession.
