Oregon State didn't want it.

Thanks. I’m 99% sure he was a walk-on, but I’ll add him to the list and note it.

He's now available.

So if I’m understanding this right, eight wins is the expectation next year. That essentially means going somewhere between 7-1 and 5-3 in conference play and hoping to steal one — or maybe even two — from Wake, Minnesota, and UNLV. That’s a tough ask, especially considering the schedule was about as favorable as it’ll ever be this past year. I had us pegged for 5–3 in conference against five new head coaches and winning both Wyoming and UAB. We all know how those turned out, so no need to revisit it. If eight wins is truly the expectation, then Goodrich has to find a way to get Moorhead the money he needs to retain most of our top players and expand the coaching staff. I’ve never questioned this staff’s ability to evaluate and bring in talent. An increased recruiting budget would also help, but I don’t see it as the biggest hurdle when so many of these coaches have years of experience and deep recruiting networks already built. If the expectations have been raised — which I’m all for — then the resources need to rise proportionally. If Goodrich can get this done for Moorhead, 2026 suddenly becomes a lot more interesting. I’m curious to see how it unfolds.

Oregon State within 2 with 4 minutes to go.

Evansville is giving this game away.

Only through my blue-n-gold-colored glasses.😅 But no, not really.... certainly not as a freshman. I was surprised when word on the street was he might be starting last season prior to his injury. He played PG as a senior in HS, so has handles & high IQ. But he's grown a few inches & hasn't lost a step! 🤯

Oregon State needs to get their crap together. I do not want 281 KenPom Evansville on the schedule (Oregon State is 136 for comparison).

odd scheduling. don't remember a 48 hour break between games in prior tournaments. but maybe Zips always lost first game.

scouting our next head coach!

Tyrrell is now available. 😁

I’m surprised Oregon State is so non-athletic.

Too much divided attention with this and the Hoban/Walsh game!

Assuming Akron can have at least a decent shooting night, we should wipe the floor with either team on Sunday.

Yes…it…is.

Someone should tell these teams the game started a while ago. This is awful.

I think you misread a lot of things. 😉

It is 9. I misread the bracket.

According to the official website 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, which would be 8:00 p.m. Eastern standard Time.

The Evansville vs. Oregon State game about to start.

You can tell Iona is coached well. They got down big a few times, but never quit fighting. They should compete in the MAAC this year.

When is the next game?

Groce knows he has a team that can push the MAC's traditional ceiling when it comes to seeding. Margin of victory matters, hence why we're not dribbling out the clock until the very last possession in these blowouts. Iona was previously 4-1, having beaten Princeton by 20, Fordham, Kansas City, and Hofstra. They just dropped to 176 in KenPom with the loss, but have had a solid start to their 1st season under the new HC. Akron is up to 74 in KenPom and can really start making some moves with likely Oregon State and either Yale or Charleston left in this tournament, plus Milwaukee, Tulane, and Murray State coming up. That was quite the performance despite about 7-10 minutes of less than stellar play. Eric Mahaffey's best game, Young rebounded nicely, Tavari really got everything started, and Evan was all over the place. This team is just so impressive.

I thought we play Sunday at 9pm?

Bummer. No free tacos tonight.
