Game 1: UMass vs Miami OH
Game 2: BG vs Toledo
Game 3: Buffalo vs Akron
Game 4: Ohio vs Kent
The MAC could not have drawn it up any better. The best QF round ever matchup wise. I think the upper deck could get opened up for this tournament.
3 technical fouls on Miami OH. If this game stays close and Miami OH is called for a questionable foul, I expect Lil Bro to get their 4th. PROTECT THE DJ EQUIPMENT!
Edit: 4th T on Atlason.
Miami OH is in a no-win situation when it comes to pressure. Currently their only claim to fame is a 0 in the loss column and every single pundit is debating if THAT'S even enough given their schedule. They know Akron will likely be awaiting them in Cleveland and every metric under the sun has Akron beating them in a theoretical neutral court matchup (in fact, I believe Akron is pretty heavily favored in that - nearly 60/40). Steele's outburst in Kalamazoo was proof the pressure of needing to be perfect to get to The Dance is wearing on them.
If anybody needs a ticket tonight, let me know. I have 1 GA available. We have a church event so I'll be following along on my phone.
And yes @zippy5 I know it's Faith night haha. The irony.
Any affordable Zips gear like this is advantageous for me at the card shop I work at on the weekends. Akron gear sparks more conversation than people think. I've been wearing my Freeman jersey nearly every weekend recently and my boss told me some kids were quietly talking and pointing at the front of the jersey asking, "Is he wearing a Freeman jersey?"
It's a grassroots effort to promote the program/school haha.
I don't recall exactly. It wasn't very long, although I don't know if next week is in play. As @HoopsFan03 said, Wentz Financial will have more answers. I half wonder if it would be possible to arrange pickup in Cleveland.
Not sure if this has been posted anywhere, but Fear the Roo Collective has a new hoodie. Just ordered mine. The vest I bought last year is top notch so I'm excited for the hoodie which is a New Era base. Pretty solid price, too, at $40. Go Zips!
