So they looked at the resume and picked the best teams like I said they do. Great, thanks for answering.

Committee chairman said OSU and UNC-Asheville were the 2 bubble teams that were left out. Of course letting Valpo in over OSU was the committee making decisions solely based off of $$$ as so many of you like to claim...

Scrolling through this thread I see several Bowden apologists being critical of Dambrot... I'm disappointed as anyone with how this season turned out. I'm losing faith that we will ever see Dambrot win a NCAAT game, which is a damn shame because there have been lesser coaches that have achieved that feat. Regardless, of how the final x-number of years of his career play out, he's going to go down as Akron's greatest basketball coach. Looking down the road 10, 20, 30 years from now when the Zips have trouble making it past the 1st round of the MAC tournament, which is bound to happen at some point, that's when we'll realize how good we had it under Dambrot.

Losing in the finals last year didn't sting as much to me as it did this year. Last year after losing to Buffalo I was confident that we were returning the #1 team in the conference. I can't say the same for next year. We clearly have no replacement ready in the wings for Big Dig and Utomi has shown flashes of being great, but he will be a very undersized 4. Big Dog was the one that created open looks for everyone else. We are pretty much going to have to implement an entire new offense. All that being sorry I can't get excited for a 2nd rate tournament. This might have been Akron's last best chance to make some noise under Dambrot.

Please don't remind me. I don't want to think about what I figure to be another 5-7 team.

This quite possibly was Dambrot's best last chance to pick up a tourney win. Feel bad for Big Dog because he clearly wanted it. Can't say the same for his teammates. See you guys Tuesdayor Wednesday for NIT.

Shooting 16.7% from 3 right now. That has to change.

In my defense I was in the pisser

Kwan has yet to score. We need a big 2nd half out of him if we're to win.

Is the MAC tourney the only time that priority points really matter?

Albany blew the game.

I believe the University starts selling at 5PM. They should still be doing the lottery promotion. I wouldn't mess with buying them online. Your fees won't be as much if you just buy them at the Q

They tried getting Big Dog rest in the 2nd half, however, Poke picked up 2 fouls in a matter of 30 seconds. The only reliable option we have to fill in for Big Dog at C is sliding Cheatham to the 5 while Utomi plays the 4, however, Cheatham has found himself in foul trouble both games so far. Poke just doesn't know how to play smart and Big Mike has fallen out of the rotation.

It's 10:12PM and...

Tried it again and it worked. Will be sitting in section 126. I'll see you guys tomorrow.

I believe it is 126 and 127.

Tried to order on travelzoo, but got an error. Anyone else having issues?

One game away from punching our ticket.

If we could make free throws...

Well Kwan will be rested if we survive this...

I wish for once this team wouldn't focus so much on running down the clock. We aren't an iso ball team. We succeed moving the ball.

Well with E in the game might as well just pencil Ball State into the bonus before the 10 minute mark.

What was Robotham thinking???

I'll take being up 9 at the half. Need to keep up the intensity at the start 2nd half and step on their throat. Can't allow them to hang around.
