If Providence should happen to win the BET (shudder), the Big East would likely get five teams into the NCAA tournament (Seton Hall has an RPI of 16). I would be fine with four and an Akron tournament championship.

HAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kent plays 2 true road games OOC and there aren't any quality opponents outside of Purdue. Sendy really giving his team the Charmin Ultra Soft treatment.

I meant Kent is 125. But yes we will see. Kent has a cake schedule outside of Purdue. I don’t seem them losing a game (without blowing one ofc) until January outside of Purdue

Kenpom this early in the year is mostly weighted by preseason expectations. As more games get played they fade the preseason expectations out. I'm not saying whether or not UNCW is good, but I wouldn't place too much stock in kenpom this early into the year. We should have a better picture by mid December.

They also play Shenango. The true measurement!

For now they are 125 in kenpom. The MAC is doing very well in OOC

UNCW won't end up very high in KenPom or NET. Not a very good team. Kent will fold the moment they play a good, athletic defense.

A fun development is that Kent also plays Purdue. Will be interesting to compare

Kent is not a good defensive team. They will only go as far as their shooting. Safford is banged up again this year.

Anddddd it’s gone. We got a new ball game

I'll man up and take it 😉😂 (and the refs dud suck 😊).

@Captain Kangaroo 1 day ban for @MDZip for reviving this thread without saying, "The refs suck."

Watching the Cavs and Jaime Jaquez is lighting them up. Brought back very bad memories.

I turned it on with 4 minutes to go in the half. Kent was at 38 pts, up by 18. They finished with 43 pts and are up by 9. This will be a very interesting second half. Also, Kent's ESPN+ announcers are atrocious.

UNCW got it within 9 at half

I did see that JMU got consideration.

It's up to Akron to produce the games. If it's not on ESPN+ then it would be because for whatever reason we didn't decide to produce it.

I had a feeling Kent was going to break out today. Up 36-15 already with 5 to go in the half. They are just booking it down the court and chucking up for 3s. I think that Troy game will be a lot like the Arkansas state one last year for us.

Arkansas State and Marshall are the two that jump out to me.

Need help understanding why that game is on ESPN+ but ours isn’t..

I imagine Evan Mahaffey’s experience playing against Purdue and occasionally at their place will be helpful for our locker room. And to a lesser degree Hardman’s experience.

From very limited research...I think that 7 of the 17 teams that the Zips played this year......will play conference semi final games this week. Below is the schedule....for the 7 games...I am picking up the game times by going to the NCAA scores website... Hopefully, they have good info Wednesday November 12th West Virginia 12-3-3 record ....will play 3 seed Marshall in Sun Belt Conference semi - 7 pm Cleveland State 7-3-6 record...I think they are the top seed...they will play 5 seed Robert Morris in Horizon League Semi 4 pm game time Western Michigan 6-9-3 record.....they will play 2 seed Drake in MVC semi...7 pm Vermont with an impressive 12-0-5 record...they will play 4 seed New Hampshire in semifinal - 7:30 pm St. Louis....very good 9-2-6 record (only 2 losses - Akron and Indiana)...they will play 4 seed Davidson in A10 semi - 8 pm Thursday November 13th Cornell 12-2-2 record.....will face 3 seed Penn in Ivy League Semi - 3:30 pm Mighty Akron 11-3-3 will have a rematch with UConn 10-3-4 - 5 pm Season over for these zip opponents VCU 6-6-5 Northern Kentucky 4-10-3 Ohio State 6-10-0 Butler 5-10-2 St. John's 9-5-4 DePaul 2-8-7 Seton Hall 7-3-7 Xavier 5-6-4 Marquette 7-7-2 Creighton 8-4-4

He was the other player in America to average at least 17.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists while shooting at least 59.0 percent from the field last year (with Cluff). He's also 6'9".
