Two more: 4) We need to chip away at the OSU-first mindset across NEO and keep building to a culture where Akron hoops are a mainstay - kind of like Dayton, where Dayton basketball is the show and everything OSU is secondary. 5) Building on that w need better coverage/press around the team to build excitement. Everything should be UA this is NEO, not Central Ohio.

3 Ohio schools all playing Texas schools

FYI gv art shirts fit funny. Tight sleeves. I have to upsize.

Butler is the key here!! If Matta is gone either Steele or Groce will get it. probably Steele. He’s the one that got the at large bid.

3 things. 1) The MAC does the conference no favors by having the conference schedule be on Tuesdays with big games flexed to Friday nights. Both days are boys high school basketball game nights in Ohio. Seeds 1-6 this year were all the Ohio schools, meaning a good chunk of their prospective attendance is being eliminated during the regular season. 2) We need to find the money for a JAR renovation. I know Kaulig is mainly on the football side, but he could really plant his flag at the University and help both basketball and football by getting naming rights on both the JAR and Info. 3) Home opponents need to be better.

Heck yes this is awesome https://gvartwork.com/products/akron-zip-cartoon-basketball-t-shirt

🤣🤣🤣

Indeed Seth did. 😊

Every win nets the MAC an extra $2 million.

Did I hear correctly? They said Akron over Texas Tech AND Akron to the Sweet 16!?!

We open as only 8.5 dogs.

For the sake of the national reputation of our conference I'm hoping both we and Miami play well.

Nope. Meanwhile Miami OH has to play SMU who is HUGE with a 7'2" Center.

Or big

Texas Tech does not seem very deep. Wow.

I knew that. My fingers and mind were in 2 different places when I wrote that lol

And a box of cigars. Watch out for chickens on the loose.

At least the MAC finally got 2 teams in. One of 8 multi bid leagues.

Tech. They're in Lubbock.

I like it, UA can win this!! Best matchup we've had IMO.

Columbia is great. Get the 1905 salad

Yes, it's also fortunate the location is far from A&M. Should be a lot of neutral fans that will be pulling for the upset.

Interesting matchup and location. Yard House is a good sports bar across the street from the arena. Columbia restaurant is a good Cuban place in Ybor City.

Tech feels like a good of draw as we could expect and Tampa is as good as a location as we could get as a 12 seed. Let’s shock the world!
