i was posting on the other thread that having the AK Rowdies back riding an opposing coach like Boals would be hilarious. But I think the fans are coming around. After the game, LCJ was high 5ing with the student section. Having everyone so close to the court is a real bonus in tight games.

When Miami beat BG the other day, the two coaches embraced and spent 30 seconds or so apparently saying nice things to each other. We didn't see that last night. Watching the replay, I saw Boals turn around near the end and chew out his assistant coach and couldn't tell why. We really needed the old Rowdies riding Boals last night.

3 years/seasons. But it hasn't been pretty

https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/bracketology/ FWIW. This is from today. Butler in Spokane. 12th seed. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/2020/03/04/ncaa-tournament-bracketology-kentucky-maryland-fall-march-madness/4950540002/ FWIW. And #13 v Oregon in Spokane. Meanwhile, Dayton/Wright State in Cleveland. I saw another one that still had Akron v Auburn in Tampa

Playing around with the simulator looks like Zips are on yet another collision course with Eastern Michigan in Cleveland. That Friday night Ball State/NIU game has a lot of consequences as well. https://overthepylon.boards.net/thread/3173/seeding-scenario?page=2 (Ball State has one of the better message boards. It's enjoyable reading as they tie themselves in mental knots trying to figure out the tiebreakers)

OU is pretty beat up. It was like Hacksaw Ridge on their bench last night.

Could you be more specific?

Yep. #2 doesn't look so bad other than would need a loss to PCCC to get it. Hobson's Choice

Essentially. Last night when he was on the ladder swirling around the net, I had a PTSD moment without a T Shirt cannon being involved.

Weren't two of them out for last nights' game? They will come to the JAR looking to do damage. I expect Singletary style behavior from this crew out of Rootstown. Edited: per Clark's info

I enjoy the night games. I went to the Noon game against Buffalo last year. Bad vibes. I always remember KDs playing in the first evening session...for whatever reason...even though that wasn't the case. I was 100% in on Groce. And now we're seeing the John Groce we loathed when he was at Ohio U. Coming full circle. 75% there.

If Zips get #1 seed, getting by that Noon game on Thursday will be the biggest hurdle. If they can get my that, my confidence will go way up.

OWell Groce is beginning to act like he did when we hated him at Ohio. Man Boals ego had to be bruised when Groce rolled him in the second half.

Hey, MD, thank you again for finding that tournament simulator!!

Getting the right guys with the right personalities matters.

Northern beat them... I think

Watched Van der Plas ankle roll on replay...brutal. amazed he came back in

Finally got home. Watched the net cutting. Credit to Kittens. Tyler Cheese class act.

Need to get it under 10 fast. Limping into tournament

Man... Those halftime stats...deja vu all over again. Buffalo and Toledo. IDK...can only go to well so many times.

Looking at the scores tonight....could have an 11 seed win.

Kittens making nice impression on national TV. Zips flop.

Flashback: Toledo

Geez. Screw it.
