I hope the University will have a big event for the Seniors when this nightmare is over. I understand not letting the basketball players come back. Frankly, it would only be a benefit for the 64 schools and a few others who had a real chance at March Madness. for 95% (??) of the programs the year was over. Why should seniors on Buffalo's men's or Akron's women's teams get another year? This falls into the "Life isn't always fair" category. Don't get me wrong, I would love it if they could make it happen but this gives some finality to the basketball programs. They can now move forward.

Looks like we are hunkering down for another month. I know I look to Zipsnation for positive energy during the day and some wonderful snark about the other MAC programs. So Groce's Zips were picked to finish 5th in the East (ugh...behind Miami). I think they will be a unanimous #1 pick for next season. Not sure if the transfer portal is settled, but we know that the coaches are set for next year (Thank you WMU!!). What are your predictions and reasons behind them? I would start with in the East: 1. Akron 2. Ohio. Not sure about the rest or the West.

Hell No! This was an awesome year that ended badly though no fault of the Zips or another MAC team ruining it for us. The Zips exorcised a lot of Demons this year.

I think Davis, Murphy, and Owens, have time left on their contracts. This wasn't the time to buy them out.

I read the universities will be losing a ton of $ from the NCAA because of March Madness cancellation. EMU anticipating that loss of revenue

IDK. Times are tough.

I think they were modeling the Zips performance on the 2013 team.

I would advise not watching it. They had Freeman playing and Zips down by 21.

They should hire X for commentary!

Midwest Region. Indianapolis. Caravan.

El Amin leaving Ball State I don't think any of the 2019 Bulls have even landed on an NBA team

Notice Chris Jans on there? Guy fired by BGSU. Wow...what a fateful turn of events for the Falcons.

I know Groce can hold our team together through all of this. Why so important to find that cohesive group of players who really are One Team/One Fight.

I give Graves credit for sticking with Buffalo after Soybeans left.

I guess this would be considered 'looking forward" Good laugh for everyone!

Probably a hard NO from Groce and Co on this kid. Mr. Basketballs enjoy being the #1 on the team.

you guys are hilarious. Thank you for making me laugh today. "rebounding his own misses." "good luck against Reese and Currie" and "hope he gets to participate in a CBI one day." "must have been slim pickings" Good comparison to Torrey Patton.

26-4: Book It to the Akron Zips!

Speaking of injuries or "almost" injuries, I remember early in the season X went down hard on the floor with a loud thud. It sounded and looked like he hit his head. The JAR went silent. Never heard it so quiet, and the rest of the season was flashing before my eyes. Then X got up with a big smile.

I remember that game. Miami at home near the end of the season. I also remember Noah's reaction and his chewing out the legally blind trainer. That being said he had to be in a lot of pain and really scared at that moment. I also remember Jayden taking that fall in the BG game. Goodness how lucky the Zips were this year. Only a slightly sprained ankle for Cam Reese during the NIU game. Otherwise, those Zips knew how to take a fall. Ironically, it was the NIU crazy basketball court that injured Reece.

Unfinished business next year that's for sure.

Who on Zipsnation is in charge of monitoring the Transfer Portal

I posted on the other thread, I wonder how comfortable one of the seniors would feel coming back and disrupting the recruiting process for new guys. They ended on such a high note. And there's nothing to say they could rekindle the magic.

reading some of the posts on Instagram, definitely looks like X is ready to move on. I think it would be very hard for any senior to feel good about staying another year and impacting a new guy coming on the team
