And UT-Arlington (Sun Belt) was at Saint Mary's. They happen. Gonzaga had to go on the road for years and knock teams off before teams would agree to come to the Kennel.

Why does that matter? Gonzaga didn't get to being where it is at by comparing itself to Pepperdine. IPFW knocked off Indiana this year and UT-Arlington knocked off St. Marys. Every year these type of upsets happen.

People have been saying that about Akron since ~2009. We know we're as good, if not better, than a lot of those 13-15 seed teams that spring those early round upsets in the tourney or those teams that come out of nowhere to beat a top 15 team in the regular season. We just for whatever reason have fallen short time after time doing it ourselves. I'm not in the camp of it will never happen because statistically speaking we should be due. I can understand however how Zips have grown tired of hearing guys like Dickau telling us how good we are and that we will be making some noise come tournament time. As someone previously said the Zips are like a bad rendition of the movie Groundhogs Day. Year after year the season ends in disappointment and we fail to take that next step. We've pretty much been stuck in a 7 year rut.

NIU hasn't neither, but I believe your're right in everyone else has.

Including both Antino and Hughes missing the front ends of a 1 and 1. Missing the front end of a 1 and 1 is pretty much a turnover.

Ivey got fouled on that 3 pointer with 7:37 left. We didn't score another point the rest of the game...

I'm getting tired of moral victories. I'd like to be able to spring the upset just once.

Next practice can we just shoot free throws for 2 hours?

Difference in this game is free throws

I'm watching on my IPad. Perhaps try a tablet or maybe your phone.

Ivey starting over Williams...About time.

Btw the stream on wccsports.com is way better than that college insiders.

Well boys gametime is here...

Laziness has nothing to do with it. Apathy is the problem. In their minds there are countless better ways of spending their time over watching some basketball team that isn't good enough to get its highlights shown on Sportscenter.

Poke would get murdered playing the C position with the size and mass Gonzaga has in its front court. Unless desperate I'd be shocked to see him playing there.

This got me thinking Akron hasn't made something like 16 straight tournaments, hasn't made an Elite 8, and has never had a top 10 rating. Quit trying to compare apples to oranges. If you want what Gonzaga has, we need to become nationally relevant. At said point not only will students make it more of a priority to show up, but so will Joe Akron.

I was going to say I thought Root was a regional broadcast similar to like Fox Sports Ohio or Fox Sports Detroit. What airs on the one station, with the rare exception (excluding the filler content), doesn't air on the other. In this case Root Sports Pittsburgh will be airing the Penguins game at the same time Root Sports Northwest is airing the Gonzaga/Akron game.

Minutes will certainly be available to him at the 4 if he can bulk up some. We don't really have a successor for Kwan.

So I went up to Akron and met up with some friends with the intention of us all going to the game. Needless to say we got to BS'ing, lost track of time, and didn't actually make it to the game. Out of curiosity what was the penalty, if any, for the TP throw?

Zags fans seem to have respect for Akron. http://guboards.spokesmanreview.com/forumdisplay.php?2-Men-s-Basketball

It is being broadcasted on a regional sports channel in the PNW. It doesn't sound like we will be able to watch in NEO.

The Zips head into a match-up vs. 9-0 Gonzaga. They are coming in fresh off a beat down of in state rival Washington and already have wins over Florida, Iowa State, and Arizona on this young season. Just staying in the game will be a tough task for the Zips. They need a near flawless game to spring the upset.

Dambrot also now 4 wins away from become Akron's all-time winning-est coach.The next 5 home opponents are: * Marshall * Bowling Green * Western Michigan * Ohio * Eastern Michigan 3 of the 5 look like pretty good mid-majors this year so that 26 win total will be challenging to eclipse. http://www.gozips.com/sports/mbkb/2016-17/releases/20161206txgtux
