So I'm not the only one that does this! I believe a lot of the extras/overruns end up there. I got a Zips football hoodie, basketball quarter zip and generic pullover. All Nike, brand new and probably cost $20ish each, if that. Also got a game worn football jersey for $80.

We will see soon enough, but I would guess worse than Toledo and OU. I don’t remember any transition game. Mostly walk the ball up the court.

Gotlieb's presence alone accomplishes that.

Green Bay making everyone on the islands life hell. Who could’ve seen that coming!

Hosting the Avon-Walsh state semifinal isn't going to solve $5M worth of issues but every little bit helps. Doesn't hurt getting people on campus either.

I tuned in around the same point and I agree. I'm not sure where this NIL money is getting spent as the talent level on the team looks the same as a Toledo or OU.

Watched the last 8 minutes. Not many 3 point shots taken by UMass. Not very impressed with them at all.

UMass falls to Green Bay 79-75. If Frank Martin can't turn this around one would have to think he'll quickly find himself on the hot seat. UMass isn't paying him $1.2 million and their collective isn't spending in the neighborhood of $2 million on players just so UMass can be an average to below average MAC team.

Look out, Gottlieb has Green Bay rolling now!! Down goes UMass, again.

UMass struggling against kenpom #312 Green Bay...

So much arguing you know it’s an off day😂. So excited to watch this team play again

What an awesome rookie season for Beto. Game winning goal in the US Open Cup v NYCFC. Winning pk in the Eastern Conference semifinal. Winning pk in the USL Championship final. Friendly with Puerto Rico National team v Argentina on the field playing against the GOAT, Messi.

It's the toughest part and one that I don't think Akron is set up to do. It's cultural throughout a university that is successful at it.

Riverhounds win the USL Championship title on Beto Ydrach PK. 5-3 shootout. what a fantastic rookie season for our Zips Mens Soccer alum. 🏆

You’re right I was looking at last year’s NET. Is it too much for me to ask that the numbers speak for themselves? Let teams jump around for a couple of weeks until the dust settles. Again, either be objective or subjective. Don’t use polling in a metric people. Good grief.

ESPN+ it should be on.

ZIPS on TV tomorrow?

NET hasn't been updated yet for this season. You're looking at last years numbers. It's not until early December that NCAA starts posting the rankings. Kenpom uses preseason rankings in their numbers to help smooth things for the first few months of the year. Those rankings get phased out as the season progresses. I think it's around mid-January when they fully remove them. NET waits until December to start publishing the current season rankings as they don't use preseason rankings in their numbers so it takes until December for there to be enough data points to form a ranking. Even then the first few weeks the NET is weird. It probably isn't until January that it looks normal.

I’m not smart enough to tell you the difference between the metrics. Even if they use the same criteria they must weigh them differently. Look at the difference pertaining to Purdue. Kenpom has Purdue ranked 2nd and the NET has them at 19. All of the national polls see Purdue as a top 1 or 2 team. To me, Kenpom is just more believable. I should do a test. Document the rankings at the end of non-conference and see how these metrics adjust by the end of conference play. Something seems squirrelly. And I completely agree, half the time the committee is objective and the other half subjective.

For regular season games, yes for NCAA tournament, NCAA has different rules

It's so ridiculous that we have to start a thread like this. You should be able to go into any area Walmart, JC Penney, Kohl's, Target, etc. and find a selection of merchandise. I don't get why the university keeps dropping the ball on this. Plus those posts about another new bland apparel piece are unexciting. Quit trying to maximize profit and sell most stuff through the bookstore. The idea is to get your name and logo out there in as many places as possible at reasonable prices then the money will come. Old man rant finished.
