zippy5 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Rather than have this buried in the 2018-2019 megathread, thought I'd start a new topic. The bracket was posted today. http://gozips.com/news/2018/6/7/mens-basketball-akron-clemson-to-open-2nd-annual-cayman-islands-mens-hoops-classic.aspx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZZips Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Great location. Good competition. No hurricane damage here. Who is going down to support the ZIps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Boom. Love the guaranteed game against Clemson. Is Georgia also on our side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see that they hired Crean - good hire. Either team is a plus in my eyes - Georgia with the name recognition/SEC factor, Illinois State with the solid mid-major resume/@Illini Zip factor. GREAT tournament all around - location, field, and who we actually play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAkron Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Anyone else on here planning on attending this? Looks like we are going to make this trip to Cayman Islands. If you arrange this through the university you fly down with the St. Bonaventure team but leave from Erie, Pennsylvania airport. I've never gone on a charter flight like this or traveled with the team. Anyone have some thoughts/insight on how this works?

Hilltopper Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 You will meet at the JAR and travel by bus to Erie. UA is sharing the charter with St Bonnie. When you arrive in Grand Cayman there will be transportation provided to get you to and from the airport, games and all other organized events. There will be a team dinner at some point. When you arrive back in Erie you will be bussed back to the JAR. You will be able to leave you car parked at the JAR for the time you are away. I have traveled with the team on many occasions and it is a blast. Lots of interaction with the players and staff. I will be there and so will ZZZips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used it to broadcast several Facebook-only MLB games this summer, including (annoyingly) multiple Indians games. It will look good on one of my monitors at work.

kreed5120 Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Clemson is ranked and is a very talented team, but looking at their schedule I'm not that impressed. They've played 3 bottom feeders and they haven't pounded them like you'd expect a top 25 team to do. Sam Houston State is 2-3 and was only down 2 heading into half-time. Hopefully Akron finds a way to hang around and puts itself in a position to have an opportunity to win late.

LZIp Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) FYI - the replays will be available on WatchStadium's facebook page immediately following the game if you aren't able to catch any of the games live.

Clemson always seems ripe for an upset. I can't wait for 11am - 1 hr 58 minutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
