Zips Basketball posted to their FB story a graphic that read, "Welcome Kaleb Khairi." Anybody know anything about this? Several posts on social media pop up but they're all in Arabic.

I'm sure LCJ will get honored in time. Not sure why it needs to he some sort of competition. Very well deserved for Big Dog.

I am quite nervous for our defense tomorrow night. Hopefully we are hot from 3 and take care of business. who is everyone’s prediction for mvp of the game. I am rolling with Sharron Young

Probably availability.

Adding a 13th team helps take away the excuse of “well Marshall already schedules MAC teams so we they will sit out”

Finally Marshall makes it in to the challenge

Interesting choice. I wonder what made them go with Isaiah Johnson over Zeke Marshall or LCJ.

Zips open up as a 10pt favorite

The promotion of soccer has been pathetic in recent years. I hoped it would change between Guthrie and Goodrich but it seems to be the same. It is disappointing and the team of the past 2 years, deserves much better. Borneo not playing is a question mark, but it looked like Zips only had 7 subs yesterday and he was in zips attire not dressed to play. My assumption would be injury. Zips miss his skill. It was a must win game, and this team got it done without a bunch of key pieces available. Credit where is due.

Zips commit Kam Warnke …

Basically an eternal question at this point. Very little students (yes it was the night after Halloween). Also no group of youth players as lineup buddies so that can account for ~50 people. But not any real promotions, the end of the season has been like this for years now

Zips are -7.5 according to Draft Kings for tomorrow's game, despite the ESPN matchup predictor only giving Akron a 56.8% chance to win.

I came here to say the exact thing, but "at Akron" was ambiguous because it was not mentioned in the context of the university or when he was in college, so it just as easily could have been understood as the Akron Aeros. Also, I wouldn't say it was a bad outing. He allowed one run and had a walk and two hits. In the greater context, he was bound to have an appearance that was similar to that. It could have been MUCH worse given that the bases were loaded. It's a shame though that the Blue Jays lost, especially in the manner that they did. In the 9th I thought we were going to possibly have our first Zips World Series Champion.

Looking at the schedule for the final matchday, there's a fairly straightforward way for Akron to qualify in the top 4 with a draw on Friday. If Akron draws, Georgetown beats Providence, and the UConn-Seton Hall game DOESN'T end in a draw... Akron would get the #4 seed. There's probably other routes that include a tiebreaker but since the tiebreakers are a little unclear, that's the simplest way to qualify with a draw. But let's just win so we don't have to scoreboard watch 😁

Zips up to #11 in the RPI - the highest RPI in the Big East.

I would have preferred to have just beaten UConn.

I really think last years team got an unfair shake with injuries they were always competitive the first 2/3s of the game then would just run out of gas. Really hope this can be a breakout year and they can make the mac tourney.

Bumping a new thread for the fresh season. So pumped for tomorrow

Another year of this fun battle that I always ramble on about! I’ve seen multiple sources project Akron/MAC winner a 12 seed and the first step to get there is by beating up the Sun Belt. It’ll also be a great chance for the women to start the season with a big win This is definitely the most interesting classic I’ve seen so far. With the addition of UMASS I think it will help put the MAC over the top. Troy is the highest ranked Sun belt team and they are only 124. If 2 of the directionals/NIU can get a scrappy win we should win this round. Every game counts. MACtion vs the world🔥

I’d love to see them inflate our conference rank. We legit could be a 12 seed this year if the head to heads shake out right

Bump

I missed Malik in attendance tonight, would've liked to have seen him! He's making great strides with Toronto.

Nice win with what seemed to be several players unavailable. Great to see Malik Henry in attendance tonight.

Have you looked at their OOC schedule? They should be favorites in I believe every game, heavy favorites in a large chunk. Edit: BartTorvik has them as an underdog in 1 OOC game (+0.7) @EKU. Obviously preseason projections are severely flawed. I'm more just illustrating how soft their schedule appears on paper. https://barttorvik.com/team.php?team=Miami+OH&year=2026
