Calhoun to Cincy and Randy Bennett to Arizona State

Does it mean they're not done pirating random teams like Sac State? Does Seton Hall have football (I know East Carolina is not a target, hahaha)? That could be interesting. I mean it's the schedule release, I see the football and the schedule. Not sure how the picture fits, though.

I don't expect the team to say that, you're absolutely right.

I don't feel the two are mutually exclusive.

Yes but you can’t just expect to win the mac tournament and then say “great job guys! I’m glad we got this moment because we don’t have a chance next week”

What the hell does that mean? Hope it’s the schedule but not really sure how you interpret that being a schedule release? Edit - just noticed the 🏈📅!

always liked Jeremy Roscoe.

In the MAC, you have to coach to win the MAC not an NCAA game.

I'm glad you're not in charge of our team.

Maybe Taylor Currie or Mark Kostelac have some eligibility remaining.

That works for me. Also Akron's (or any MAC team's) approach going into next year's NCAA tournament is to enjoy the three wins in Cleveland they just got and then get focused on the offseason, because the dance is dead to the little guy.

The basketballs obviously weren't why we lost. With that said, it is crazy to me that the NCAA doesn't have a standard basketball brand/inflation level across the board.

Not sure defense is the strength with the current roster; not sure it isn't, either. Point being, the roster is a bit of a blank slate so they can target whatever style they want.

You’re right about Young and Eric Mahaffey. Eric needs to limit the stupid fouls, but he’s so long and athletic. And Young gets right in their grill. I just don’t see us making a push up the defensive ranks until we can land another effective 7 foot shot blocker. And I’m not confident with what Barre would bring next year.

I watched a little bit of the Austin FC II match last night to check out Stefan. After coming on as as sub in the first match of the season, he's now started the last three matches and has one assist so far. I hope to see him get some first team minutes by the end of the season!

My comment was also more about building to the strength of the current roster.

We played UCLA in the 2021-2022 season. All of the changes in college basketball were just getting started. There was still some parity throughout the ranks. Not to say a defensive-minded approach isn’t the answer.

Following a madness-promising first day of upsets, the NCAA Tournament has turned into a high-major affair. The Sweet 16 invite is for power-conference programs only. Advocates for fewer automatic qualifiers and bracket expansion will have a field day with this one. “I think parity is great for the game, but things change,” said Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd, who spent 21 seasons as an assistant at Gonzaga. The Big Ten is the big conference on the block, pushing through a league-record six teams into the Sweet 16 — three in the same region. The SEC has four Sweet 16 teams, the Big 12 three, the Big East two, the ACC one. Mid-majors: zero for the second straight season.

I'll guess it's MAC Media Day?

Why is that?

We'll see how things play out, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Zips try to win with defense next year. Young and Eric have the capability of being All-MAC defenders. Cody, not sure how big of a role he'll have but certainly figures to be in the rotation, has decent size for a guard. As someone else pointed out the closest we've come to a win in the tournament was against UCLA and that was a defensive focused team.

Maybe the staff can take another look at Darrion Baker.

Schedule release tomorrow at 11 AM?!

Whatever one wants to call it there is distinct gaps in the level of play between the conferences. Duke can make it to the title game and even win this year. That doesn't change the fact if you look from top to bottom the ACC as a whole was much weaker than the B1G and SEC this year.
