Gonna be a solid rot on the couch Friday night, BG vs Toledo and Kent vs Miami. Fiance is working, so its just gonna be me and fanduel having a night

I'm looking forward to Mahaffey next year as I've heard he was very good up until he hurt his knee.

He was just raising money so his mom could come to stay with him.

The ESPN+ replay has Groce's and Rique's speeches. It also has the video from the former players that hasn't been posted anywhere yet

There could also be a third. Players are actually allowed to openly get get paid today. A guys like Abreu may not have bothered with the hassle of selling dime bags to college students if he had someone like Wentz cutting him a $30k check.

I will tweet at ZipsMBB to confirm their graphic. Not sure which one is correct. ESPNU at 6pm on a Saturday makes way more sense, but it would be awesome if this were on ESPN2.

I ran a department meeting this morning infront of about 100 people all over the country. We do a random multiple choice question in this meeting where the first 3 correct answers get a gift card. The question? Who has longest winning streak in men’s bball. Felt good man.

I just saw a Zips social media post showing Sammy Hunter and Xavier Castañeda as part of regional international FIBA qualifying tournaments and while Sammy playing for Bahamas was no surprise, it WAS unexpected to find Xavier in qualifying with the national team of Bosnia and Hertzegovina! Not Puerto Rico. How did THAT happen?

Yeah...I think it is more likely that he'd have tried to parlay that $30k into a few more bales of the chronic and turn it into $200k. They say "There's no greater tragedy than unrealized potential". Whenever I hear the phrase I immediately think about that Zips basketball team.

Two big differences between that team and current team. No discussion about height or lack of height. We had a 7 footer Zeke Marshall at center and 6-8 or 6-9 Demitreus Treadwell at power forward who was a beast under the boards and quick for a big man. Marshall also was an amazing shot blocker. Both players had very successful years playing overseas after leaving Akron. Second, for lack of a better word, citizenship. The Abreu incident will not occur with todays players. KD took a chance on some players and sometimes it kicked him in the butt.

I just checked my spectrum programming and it is listed on ESPN 2. I then went to Gozips.com and after 5 clips and scrolling down the schedule, it is listed on as follows: IT'S [ALMOST] GAME TIME Akron vs. Ohio | ESPN2 Saturday, February 22 | 6:00 PM Finally, since our men's basketball team has the longest winning streak in the country, you would think that would render a headline on Gozips.com and an easy way to find the next game. Nope, to find the Zips next basketball game, it takes 5 clips to get to their schedule and then you must scroll down the schedule to get a listing for the game.

Just so people are aware, this will be on ESPNU.

That looks like it’s actually a post from the agency he signed with apparently. It’s odd to me that he hasn’t committed anywhere yet. Apparently a ton of offers, but missing spring ball? Don’t think much better is going to come in at this point for him.

While I was aware of the 0-5 digits, I didn't think about how retired numbers would impact that. Makes sense. I motion to make a second level of actually retired numbers. UNC does this, they have tons of "retired jerseys" and then a row of retired numbers hanging. I guess they wanted to honor that MJ guy

No Matthew Wilson bobblehead prizes?

3 games, 10 total minutes. He gets a fifth year of he wants it, yes
