i can imagine certain states with certain types of legislators passing laws that eliminate state taxes on NIL $.

I went to one Cavs game this year, and it was like a circus. sensory stimulation everywhere.

Amazing article about Amani in ABJ today.

I've been waiting to write that myself.

99% of this is performative and corruption seems to be encouraged these days.

The "TOS to" meme is the 2nd best thing that came out of Athens after John Groce.

TOS to PCCC?

Boise State had good reason to think it had done enough to earn an NCAA tournament bid entering Selection Sunday. The Broncos scheduled aggressively in non-league play, toppling Clemson and Saint Mary’s. They won 14 games in the Mountain West regular season and advanced to the title game of the Mountain West tournament, ousting two of the conference’s best teams along the way. Why then did the committee leave Boise State out? It certainly didn’t help that the Broncos are one of the only bubble teams with a blemish in Quadrant 4, a 63-61 loss to 19-loss Boston College in the title game of the Cayman Islands Classic back in November. “Because, on the third day of a tournament, Boston College hits a step-back 3 to beat us, does that mean we're not tournament-worthy?” Boise State coach Leon Rice asked incredulously on Saturday night when speaking to reporters about his team’s NCAA tournament case. Apparently so. When the margin between bubble teams is so thin, every game matters.

blatant corruption. hate to see it.

Karma bites Miami hard. They are getting the full 2007 treatment from the basketball gods. Kent was ranked much higher in Kenpom and NET and must have hit the magic number in the KNIT.

I was at almost all of those sparsely attended games at the JAR. The drawback was that those 3 games in one weekend left the Zips with big gap of home games leading into January. I doubt they do it again, but I thought it was a lot of fun.

watching replay, Shammas was right by Amani and had his hands out for the ball. OT was in the bank. Amani said nope.

1. pre-game I thought Miami and Travis needed a 2007 moment and then come back very strong next few years. 2. Akron had the experience and steeliness to win. 3. At halftime, I thought "12 points" is doable, but I didn't think Miami would collapse like so many others have. 4. Watching replay, the game seems much closer than it was in person. The announcers were giving credit to the Zips the entire time, saying Miami had to be wary of the Zips going off on a huge run. Instead of huge run it was a slow bleed from Miami. 5. TAVARI, AMANI, AND NATE ARE MUTUAL HEROES. AMANI EFFING BOXED OUT AND GRABBED THAT REBOUND. TAVARI'S DEFENSE PREVENTED THE MIAMI BASKET. AMANI HAD THE ASSIST OF THE YEAR AND HIS LIFETIME.

You all are such masochists re-living the ugly past.

I stayed for the Toledo v Ohio game. My heart can't handle a game like that for the Zips.

A beautiful day for basketball. One game at a time. -8.5 and PCCC is -3.5

Dear God.

Brutal, physical game between OU and Toledo.

If someone told me in November, the Zips would be playing at 11am on Thursday in March... I would have thought..."lucky we made the 8th seed."😊

FWIW: BG women blew a 13 point second half lead v Buffalo and lost and their band was really bad, too.

Any MAC coach would or should want him on their team. Frankly, any of the Zips top ten would be a benefit to them. You wonder how a player like Nate would flourish without this staff and teammates.

All-MAC Third Team AJ Clayton, Senior, Forward, Ohio Wasn't Clayton pre-season POY? and Nate wasn't included in first team?

IDK...taking four of the 5 big awards is pretty good!

https://overthepylon.boards.net/thread/5871/mac-poy nice discussion of Zips basketball and POY candidates from our friends at Over the Pylon.

Why don't we just start "John's Next Endeavor" or "Keeping up with John and Dustin" and get it over with.
