    I would have went to the game had it been at the JAR, but I don't have cable and the NIT dicking us over gives me no incentive to go out of my way to watch. Edit: I wish the Zips the best of luck. Go ZIPS!

    +1 it's ridiculous to think teams are running away from Akron. If anything Akron is the one running away by not accepting guarantee games. You have to earn other programs respect before they will agree to come to your place.

    I've seen this Akron as a 6 seed floated around, but do we have sources stating that or just speculation?

    Guys quit feeding the troll.

    I feel the teams that have been the most successful against us are the teams that have single guarded big dog. He's so good passing out of double teams that so often times his passes lead to open 3 looks or uncontested cuts to the basket.

    At some point in the post season you know a 3 point shooting team is going to have an off shooting night. You just hope on those nights that you can find some other way to win and not let it cost you your season. The Zips managed to survive to live another day.

    I wasn't going to initially make the trip up to Cleveland this weekend because money is a little tight for me at the moment, but seeing the women up 5 at the half and the men facing the #12 seed if both teams can take care of business today the chances of winning 2 MAC titles within hours of one another might be too much for me to pass up.

    Of note UAB fell yesterday. That should help Marshall's chances of winning the CUSA title.

    I say Zips find their rhythm from 3 again and win by 15.

    I feel the schedule looks better now than what it looked at the start of the season as teams like Green Bay and Marshall have played better than anticipated. Iona lived up to expectation and UCSB still has chance to make noise in their conference. I still would have liked to see Akron vs. a mid-tier Big 10 or a similar caliber team from another conference even if that meant sacrificing 1 home game to do so. Overall Akron had a great season, but without a top 50 win on the resume, it cripples any hope for an at-large to the point teams have leaped them in the discussion despite Akron having a better record than them while playing a tougher SOS. It also hinders their chances of getting anything better than a 12 seed the times that they do win the MAC.

    They are $10 http://www.theqarena.com/events/detail/mac-160309-12

    SDSU nearly fell to the Aggies before pulling away in the final 10 seconds. Relevant because SDSU is one of the few 1 bid conference teams remaining that would be seeded above Akron assuming that they win their tournament.

    Akron's RPI has climbed to #29 with the win. Lot of games going on today so it is highly likely that number will change one way or another by days end.
  16. kreed5120
    I was wondering the same myself.
  17. kreed5120
    Wish I could have been there. The Q must have been electric with this exciting of a finish.

    Classic case of live by the 3, die by the 3.

    I work near the Akron-Canton airport. I went to a sports bar to watch the 1st half. When I got there they had pretty much every game on besides Akron. I asked them to put channel 788 on and the bartender asked if this game was live. By the time I left, the Akron game was on half the TVs including both big projector screens and all I asked for was just 1 of the smaller TVs at the bar. Hopefully Akron picks up a few fans.

    I feel people have their own preconceived conclusions about which teams they like and they use whatever metric that they can find to support their claim. There certainly is no shortage of them out there.
  21. kreed5120
    You are right that they would be much lower as they are 69th. That still puts them well ahead of Monmouth who is 86th.

    You can get tickets for $19 behind the baskets. http://www8.ticketingcentral.com/V2/PickASection.aspx?t=8FE2B4D48D348AC328C1445&og=-1&utm_source=qarena&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=qarena-event-page

    Neither deserve an at-large and neither will get 1. We can agree on that. I got my SOS from ESPN. I'm not sure how our data sets are off. Figured it would be easy to calculate. Strange. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/rpi/_/page/4/sort/sos

    All losses are bad in the committees eyes. Some are just worse than others. A sub 200 is worse than a top 125 loss just like a loss to the 50th ranked team is worse than a loss to the #1 team. Good luck trying to find a committee member that says otherwise. SOS was also brought up. Monmouth's SOS is 203. Akron's is 129. Overall Akron played a much tougher schedule and came away with just as many losses.

    A team with a 150 RPI is still in the top 43% of college basketball. Akron has 2 bad losses at the very most and those were to teams that are hovering around the 50% percentile of college basketball. Monmouth didn't have bad losses, they had disastrous losses. Losing to Green Bay who beat Valpo and is making the tourney isn't the same as losing to Manhattan, Army, or Cansius. GB as is NIU and KSU RPI are ~100 spots better than all 3 of those teams. CMU about 80 spots.
