I do like when Bowen Hardman drives to the hoop. He's not just a spot-up shooter.

I can't be there tonight but the crowd looks nice on tv

That assist by Cobb was either one of the best assists I've seen all season or the luckiest, perhaps both

NIU playing hard

So either a Buffalo win or CMU loss puts UMass in the eighth seed. A buffalo lost and CMU win puts UMass at the seventh seed. So we will get either Buffalo or UMass or a slight chance of Bowling Green. CMU cannot make the tournament.

Too many turnovers so far.

I would also like for all five to tie for the leading scorer. 😊

Eric coming in!

Really going to miss this group. I don't know why this isn't the starting group all the time.

Starting the 5 seniors.

Eric out again.

Murray State gets bounced by UIC in their conference QF. 14 pt loss. Ouch.

Honestly, that makes it more appealing to me. I already have plenty of Zips hoodies, tees, polos. I don't really have wind breakers or anything for spring/early fall.

What a beautiful day. Is this the warmest it’s been outside for an Akron basketball game??? It definitely is for me.

By the way, the student managers are wearing what appears to be the hoodies that are on sale from FTR Collective. They certainly appear to be black and not blue. They also appear to be a lightweight hoodie which I figured just based on the price.

Out of likes but this is exactly what's important.

Any news on if Eric will be playing tonight? I would assume not, since we shouldn't need him for this game anyways and they'd want to get him healthy for Cleveland. But for my own mental sake, I'd like to see him out there to know he's ready to go for next week.

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that but I would think so. I mean, four of them usually start anyways and the other one is probably the third best player on the team. 🤣

I'm assuming the 5 seniors start tonight.

It should be noted that Belmont was the only MVC team that would in all likelihood be seeded ahead of Akron had they made the tournament. This increases our odds of backdooring from a 12 seed into an 11.

#1 seed Belmont losing badly to #9 Drake in QFs of MVC tournament. Tomorrow is promised to no one. (Drake's won the last 3 MVC tournaments...ready for March)

Something worth noting since Akron/Miami are projected as an 11/12 seed and most are projecting UNC as a 5/6 seed. Caleb Wilson broke his thumb in practice this week and had season ending surgery. He was averaging 19.8 pts and 9.4 rebounds and a projected lottery pick.

You rang?! And I'll have you know that CK is at least a year or 2 older than me. Whitlock should be calling the Toledo Blade .. with Elton retired, that's where I'd start with a historian. Go Zips!

this should be a link to a 5 minute interview with Beto Ydrach

You could take it the other way...they're currently undefeated and people are debating their at-large worthiness. If they lose tonight, there's much more pressure to secure their NCAA Tournament berth by winning in Cleveland.
