Well I guess that's that. Nice.

How many of us keep typing "Duquense" into Google News and refreshing? I didn't even know this was going on. I noticed that this thread was active and took a look...and ..uh oh.

Who is this Coleman Crawford person?

Illinois State has a Divison 1 football program, so they would be a good comparison. VCU, Gonzaga, and UT Arlington don't have football.

Was a good listen. Got a little tired of the "lost opportunity" meme. I wish he had spoken more about what went wrong this year...if anything actually did go wrong. Maybe the Zips played up to and at their potential. One vision I will take away from this year is that in each game we lost Kwan seemed like a temperamental loner and not a senior leader. I may get grief about saying that, but even in that first loss to YSU I just remember the vision of his standing on the far side of the court with that pout as the game slipped away. And do add to this "missed opportunity" meme because of this dominating front court...well, obviously it wasn't dominating. Kwan and Big Dog were flawed players and didn't seem gel together. But that's why they were at Akron. You just can't will them to have better natural talent. I don't necessarily mind watching seniors graduate and move on. It's good to see new faces and a new dynamic with the team. Maybe the team will play faster and run more next year? Maybe someone will seize the moment to shine. GT was right that there really hasn't been a "rebuilding" year for the Dambrot. Maybe a rebuilding year would help all of us appreciate what we've had and enjoyed. But these last two years, even with the regular season championships, were definitely frustrating.

Time for some Bowden Ball!! Excited for football!

A comeback!

I think he tried that with Abreu, Tree, and Harney. Thrice bitten...

Hoosiers. Sit those lazy kids down next year and play the walk ons.

So Ball is coming back and Woodson will be QB? And Chapman is a wide receiver now?

Illinois State...What a way to lose. Refs completely controlled end of that game. Fouls on both ends changing outcome within seconds both ways. UCF came back from 13 down at half

Thought that the other night during BYU game.

Always hope but sensed UTA was going to be big problem.

Illinois State was up by 18. Now up by 1 at home. Hang in there Zips

Is this from the first half of the Northern Illinois thread?

UCF is coming back from way down against Illinois St. Hang in there Zips.

Hard to know what to expect from this game. True home game for UTA...I don't think Houston's was. If we are reversing 2011, then we should get one more NIT win. UTA looked invincible the other night but that seems like a lifetime ago.

The Norse hung in their longer than the Flashes. Kent game was closer than the score. UCLA was lazy and "above it" for the first half +

Miami (Ohio)?

Some love from the Kittens. Doubt we will be as generous towards Ravenna State. http://www.bobcatattack.com/messageboard/topic.asp?FromPage=1&ForumPID=1&PID=232198

Are we certain the third round game would be Wednesday? I have to leave town for few days on Thursday. Would be my luck to miss a home game.

The elimination on the one and bonus help the team with free throws?

http://m.chron.com/sports/cougars/article/UH-knocked-out-of-NIT-s-first-round-by-Akron-11005250.php#item-39786 What a nice article and photos. There's a great photo of the Akron huddle. The article is a reminder that once in a while the ball bounces are way.

Home or Away doesn't matter to me. However, I have a gut feeling Zips would have better chance playing at BYU rather than UTA.
