That was "thump" heard round the world. Then dead silence. I just put my head in my hands, but he got up smiling.

He sent all of us into a state of despair for a few minutes on Sunday.

God bless you for following women's basketball. Once I learned they used a smaller basketball than the men use, I lost interest.

Decent article. I wouldn't say the crowd went into a "frenzy" when Zips took the lead, but I think we were all shell shocked until that point. But Groce is right, the team didn't panic. I think the last two years they would have played hero ball and started chucking 3s to make up the deficit. On another note, I thought the MAC would be easier this year. Looks like it will be more brutal. And off topic: this has some good press for Zips and their fans if you scroll down. Notice PCCC isn't mentioned. https://www.chatsports.com/duke-blue-devils/a/source/acc-roundup-a-hurley-brothers-sunday-special-15690222

Did Groce say that Reece was sick? When X fell hard on the floor, I saw the Zips season flash before my eyes and it ended with a quarter final loss to Toledo.

Zips by 15. Never in doubt ?

Zips woke up! X is fine. Thank u sweet baby Jesus!

Zips 52-49 8mins left. Zips have ball.

Zips take lead. Southern in foul trouble. Refs only called half of the fouls they've done on the Zips

Nothing going in. This is over

This isn't getting better. Headed to an ugly home loss

Good comeback. Probably would have been better not to take a timeout for that last play

Zips need to wake up. They seem a bit surprised by Southern. Stat board isnt working and Riak just clobbered LCJ. Down by 9. Totally out hustled.

Zips defense in its heels today. Not liking this close game.

Southerns #40 reminds me of some random annoying Western Michigan player

Omg. That's why they were so familiar. Playing UNC Charlotte and Cornbread Maxwell in Final Four (I think) Wasn't it Al McGuire??

Southern has some snazzy uniforms/pajama bottoms.

Akron denizens have a choice today: Zips basketball or the Sugar Plum Tour. Tough call.

So excited.

Nor is mine.?

Until your face is a victim of the T Shirt cannon.

The lack of board comments during the game was likely because 1. There wasn't a good video feed and/or 2. We were all holding our breath to see if they could actually get a road win. This year Groce is coaching on Akron's dime. Illinois is no longer subsidizing him, so he needs to produce road wins and results. Ali has been starting all year but doesn't have the green light to shoot.

PCCC and BG is top 20? Marshall is in the 300s. https://www.wvgazettemail.com/sports/marshall_university/marshall-basketball-akron-zips-past-herd/article_dfbfe8a4-68ed-51ba-9533-741c12637d5f.html

What was that song from that Disney movie Frozen? Oh, I remember..."LET IT GO!"
