Boy...This is fun.

Ironic. Last year I would cringe when Kwan would shoot 3s.

Going to be long game. Bench warning on Oats

Why not hold for last shot?

And a moving screen or pick is a foul? Never understood that. Happens so fast.

What's a high screen?

That video! That game! Zeke! On another note, if you watch that clip carefully, you can tell Quincy agitated that situation. Nice to see Wistricill engaging in some physical activity. And I love the crying Kent cheerleader (erroneous on all counts!) And that crazy praying woman.

Kent/MAC championship game! And didn't we win two with him? That stands out.

Sully's Tool and Party Rental.

And what was that?. I just think even the thought of putting the teams post season in the hands of a committee is like panning for fools gold. Win out. Win the tournament and maybe they will give us a decent match up.

And if you scroll down you will see Shaka and his "most disappointing" Texas team.

I like Hustle Belt, but I think he has it set up so one supporter from each school writes these like a blog entry. It's why we get some really off the wall commentary at times. Of course who other than Zips fan this year will regularly read up on the MAC basketball season. Whoever said...We can only best ourselves is spot on, and it would be super nice to get an OOC game about now.

I don't know the man but from what i've witnessed running up the score has never been a Dambrot objective. What I saw last night is that at the end of the game is that obviously a couple threes and put backs coupled with a defensive stop or two can take an 18 point lead down to ten in about 50 seconds. Coach relied on his players to make their free throws and in clutch time at end of game we've been pretty good at that. (not sure any of what i wrote made sense).

I thought he one announcer who was a former WMU player was really good and right down the middle. He explained the game in simple terms, and it was helpful to a guy like me who never played, to hear him say...Western should be doing this, they aren't doing this, Akron is really good at this. And I know it's been mentioned before but those navy uniforms are really sharp. just wish they had put a stripe of gold on them somewhere.

I don't care how we win on the road. Although, I would like some 30 point wins at home on occasion .

Huh? "In the end, WMU never gave up, and never surrendered, but Akron pulled out the win. The final score was probably not as close as the actual game, but it wasn’t close enough in regards to heart, either."

These games always seem to get closer and sloppy at the end. Lots of fouls and this and that. Start up the bus! Winning these road games just has to be building their confidence. Onward!

Meanwhile in Oxford and Athens...

As a typical downtrodden Zips fan, I will assume the refs will get more heavily involved and start calling some touchy fouls on us just to make things interesting.

Thought there would be a little let up at the end of half. Wasn't watching. Assume Big Dog was resting the last few minutes of the half with two fouls.

Despite these goofs winning a few games at home, etc, our losing to a 6-12 team is completely unacceptable. We had an extra day of rest, we probably learned more about them than they did us a few weeks ago and our starting line up (God willing) is at full strength. The Zips know a loss cannot happen.

With the MAC so weak any loss we have from now on will be considered a "bad" loss and any win irrelevant.

I should have read MDZips summary before I voted.
