Dru's squad really struggled Saturday at SVSM, losing to a Northeastern team that was not nearly as talented.

Nice story featured on ESPN.com: https://www.espn.com/gaming/story/_/id/47055178/dru-joyce-lebron-james-duquesne-akron

I thought the same, but Groce has hinted at a larger role for him during radio interviews. And he played during the course of the game yesterday. Not just at the very end.

Well nothing against Halligan, but we've got a very deep roster of scholarship players so his role will mostly be clean up duty

Remember 1986!!! Current Duke coach John Kerr was the star of that team. I think he scored the lone goal in the final. Another prominent player on that 1986 Duke championship squad was Ken Lolla.

Correct.

Halligan's contribution is that he's a good defender, works hard and doesn't hurt you when he's on the floor with turnovers and bad shots. He's Marvin but on the perimeter.

Halligan is a walk on right?

The answer to the 2004 clue is "When was the last time Eddie George played a down in the NFL?"

This was a really good question and it stuck with me because I didn’t have the obvious answer. I once suggested he might be the next Hardman, but I hope we use one of the open scholarships to bring in another sharp shooter. My best guess is Halligan is still a work in progress, but could fill the role of strong, big-bodied guard. Think Mikal Dawson or Isaiah Gray.

All the more reason to smash Duke and send them back to Durham with their butts hurt. That and 1986.

Incorrect, the Big East also has three teams. Yet another example of ACC arrogance (or ignorance).

MVC might not like it for this reason, but it would improve our strength of schedule as a league. I’m in, even if it was just select match ups.

MVC would be a tough challenge. Would love it for Akron but the button half of the conference would get rolled.

Round of 16 feels so sweet!

Guess we dodged a bullet with Oregon state

Well Oregon State had quite the clunker haha

Buffalo got a vote from the AP poll. Good sign for the Mac!

UMass pulled away in the final minute. Wins 73-65.

UMass beats Oregon St. 73-65. Nice win for UMass.

Let's Go Zips!!! Rise to the challenge!!! Let's Go ZipsNation!!!...Fill the Stands!!! Fill the Hill!!! This is OUR FIELD!!!

But they don't have FBS football which is the centerpiece around which all things MAC must revolve.

Even with the MAC improving some this year it would be a brutal challenge for the MAC. The MAC has a steep drop-off after the top 3 or 4 teams. The MVC usually only has 1-2 cupcakes the MAC ~6.

Outside of Purdue they gave us the toughest game this far.
