The scoreboard is the biggest eyesore and detractor from the Info. Replacing that will go a long way with GameDay experience for the 10 people that show up.

Akron remained stagnant in NET at 85. OU moved up 2 spots to 192 despite the loss. Toledo is up to 134 and PCCC is up to 170. BUGS dropped to 198, and those are the only 5 teams in the top 200 for the MAC. Miami is the next highest MAC team at 246. Buffalo is creeping closer to the true bottom, ranking 346 out of 362 teams.

Miami is 246 in NET, dropping from 227 after their loss to CMU. One game at a time, just take care of business boys.

The inverse of this is James Madison. Their applications and/or enrollment are up ~78% or something like that in the last few years (read this on their board). Their meteoric rise in athletics is driving the overall school enrollment. Their football team has won, and now their basketball team is having success. They've made the full move to DI, but built their brand at the FCS level (Game day went there when they were a FCS squad). I don't know how they were successful in breaking out of the shadows of Virginia, Virginia Tech, etc. - but they were. They are a case study that Akron needs to examine closely.

Meant to post this after Reghi said it at the end of the game: OU never led.

Kent just went to the line twice in 5 seconds with 30 seconds left in the game after a pee poor call on a clean block (tied the game with a free throw) and a phantom foul on a loose ball of the 2nd missed free throw. Payton had his first two free throw attempts (he was the one fouled on the loose ball) with 30 seconds to go in the game and proceeded to miss both. Tied at 74 all heading to OT.

Freeman got back into the Double Double column. 19 & 14. Duplicate that performance and it's MAC POTW #8. And tonight was an off night as far as I'm concerned. He should've had... 26? 28?

9 pt win. Ugliest win of the year? Maybe. But a win is a win.

The guards are growing on me. Tribble/Scott/Thornton - we're seeing where each fits in, and they're beginning to make a positive difference.

Great stop after the quickest jump ball whistle I've ever seen.

Ali Ali gets throat chopped on a dribble drive. Blocking foul, naturally. I mean what the hell are we doing, zebras?

Absolutely. Great gameplan and execution by them all night.

THORNTON! 10 point game!

They've been doing it all night. Their game plan - much like Kent's 2nd half gameplan - is to bully Akron and out physical them.

Thank God Dawson answered that 3 after the gift by the refs with a no call on a tackle. SCOTT!

Freeman is "off". Not making his usual hook shots and And 1's. Scott has to learn when it's ok to pull it out on fast breaks.

4 on Tribble. A pee poor 4th, but 4.

Hunter is killing us tonight. Indecisive on his 3's and not making good decisions.

We beat Kent by 50 with Tribble, regardless of the officiating.

Sloppy. Sloppy. Sloppy.

Missed opportunity to torment him with a can of air, simulating the pressure sound that comes before a tshirt cannon fires.

Ohio lost their stud transfer QB to Bama. Let's kick em while they're down. Go Zips! z.i.P.S. BobcatAttack is doing Freeman stat line predictions for tonight. Not sure if it's a reverse jinx or they really hate their team that much. FearLeon: Give your best Freeman stat prediction for tonight's game. Here is mine. 28 Points 14 Rebounds 3 Blocks

I'm hoping it's more of a Dayton/Duquesne situation where there is more important action for The Books to focus their attention and this one wasn't dug into as much.

There's gotta be some sort of backdoor connection between someone in his life and JD, no?

Did not realize SDSU had climbed back up into Q2 range for us. Also, JMU would be a Q1 matchup as it currently stands. Incredible OOC schedule.
