Anyone on the ground in Ypsilanti?
-
I just don't think the Zips are out of their 3 point shooting slump. Want to be wrong but I think it will take one more game to snap out of it .
-
Since I've been a voice of reason today I will switch gears and be a conspiracy monger and add: if we are playing CMU in the final at the Q, the bias will be to get the nation's leading scorer in the NCAA tournament at all costs. And you all know how that could play out
-
On the flip side, the teams playing us are also getting screwed. So I guess that evens out. Then maybe we get an extra day of rest if our Tuesday opponent plays on Saturday. We play Toledo Tuesday but they play Saturday. Maybe a benefit? As for the fans, I miss the Sunday afternoon games (or was it Saturday?). Fortunately, in my house we have schedules that allow us to get to every home game no matter what the time. But having us on ESPN U and winning! And some talk from commentators about our being a top mid major is worth the switch.

What do you think about this Buffalo fan?
NWAkron replied to Captain Kangaroo's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
(At the serious risk of sounding like a BobKitten Blogger) my two cents is that no one has stepped up to lead the Rowdies. We had some dynamic, funny, obnoxious leaders who would get right in the face of the coaches. I loved the old "Erroneous on all Counts" sign with the crying Kent cheerleader (maybe I'm conflating two signs). And I think having the Rowdies n the corner with the opposing team was awesome. But then someone on here complained about the Band being in the opposite corner because they were too loud. Not much will change until some students are willing to step up. -
Fortuitous that Zippy was in the left corner at the right moment. Nice to see her in the clips.
-
Not sure where to post this but just read Warren Ball has another year with the Zips. Even though I attend all the football games, I'm not sure how big a deal this is. Didn't get to see enough of him to know.
-
Word. And it says a lot that he could forget his last mistake so quickly and be completely in that moment. On another note, Josh when not taking 3s had some good minutes
-
Of course, this heads up play by Noah followed that bone headed soft pass to Kwan that almost cost us the game. But who was paying attention?

It's on espn3 replay if you can access that. Personally I couldn't watch Big Dogs free throws. I sat with head in one of those purple towels they gave away watching the sweet old lady in the next section to see her reaction and hear from the crowd.
-
I was there. I saw the ball go through the net. Didnt I?

Meanwhile in Bowling Green, Kent State still...Well, you know. CMU and Buffalo are the danger teams in Cleveland.
-
I've watched it about 5x now. TDM pushes Michael Hughes out of the way and sprints across the floor to Big Dog. Exciting stuff.
-
I'm sure it's Basketball 101, but good job, Noah, letting that ball fly out of bounds.
-
WTF is going on

The night the lights went out..
-
I say we got trouble.
-
Why does every team get hot from 3 against us? 8 point lead to 5 point. 7 point to 4 point. 6 point to 3.
-
So crowd is on feet. Big run. Ball state time out...And next we have. "your friends at 22 Exchange..."
-
Thank god for TDM!
-
Here we go again.
-
A question should have been...Who if anyone will make the first 3 pointer? Definitely not Josh.
-
Isn't there some connection to the Peters family at Ball State?
