NWAkron

Unforgivable

Just the usual. Never closing a team out. Opponents making contested 3s.

Why end the home season any different than how it started? Whatever, Kwan. Over it.

What happened to CMU? Talk about thermal nuclear meltdown Chernobyl style.

That would be a massive loss of concentration.

Oh, how I will miss these t shirt tosses.

The excitement in the JAR is palpable!

So on the tournament bracket the Zips and Miami(Ohio) are only two teams assured of their respective seeds.

And DVR the CBS games because we won't find replays online.

http://www.mac-sports.com/tournaments/?id=65 Looks like we play at 12/12:30 next Thursday. So put in for vacation day.

Just trying to accept that this is the last home game of the year. Quiet day of contemplation.

Really? Didnt realize they won those games. I thought Akron was hottest team? Or was it Buffalo? Maybe Western Michigan?

I think I did lose it. And swore..."never again."

I know we won, but the rest is a blur. I remember Noah doing something: CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Akron Zips were cold from behind the 3-point line until they needed it. Then Noah Robotham delivered with 50 seconds to play to give Akron a 65-63 victory over Eastern Michigan in the opening quarterfinal game of the Mid-American Conference Men's Basketball Tournament on Thursday at The Q. Robothom posed at the top of the circle -- arm raised high and wrist limp and bent aimed right at the rim -- as the crowd roared.

Things also get dicey for a few teams if Toledo and Western Michigan win out. Toledo, Kent, Western, and Buffalo could end up in a 4 way tie. Western could end up as a 3rd seed. Whatever the case looks like we will have either Eastern Michigan (deja vu x3) or Northern Illinois as our quarterfinal match up.

I've been thinking the exact same thing.

I've looked everywhere. Can't find it

They cut them down last year.

Nice seeing our two rivals fight this one out and giving us the MAC Championship. Congratulations Zips!

Watching the Ohio/Kent game is painful on just about every level.

If the Zips wrap up their business on Tuesday, they should use the Kent game for 3 point shooting practice.

But wait...beating a team three times in a season is impossible, right? Those seedings are really in flux apart from the top 2 and the bottom 3. We could realistically end up with Western Michigan as the 4th seed and a possible semi-final opponent. But this should be a different thread after today's games are over. There's a simulator out there somewhere that considers all the tiebreakers. http://playoffsimulator.com/ncaambb/mac/

If anyone can find a link to the replay please post.

Well, maybe not a miracle. But that sure improves my weekend.

Good. Because I'm not watching. If a miracle occurs I can watch rerun. Kudos to the brave few who travelled to Canada.
