    To make up for NWAkron, I am doubling my sense of dread for this one.  As a conditioned NEO sports fan this one just feels like the perfect storm for a swift kick in the n*+$ coming off of the PCCC high.

    The warm ups the rim looks awfully big for the Rockets, hitting everything

    And in years past we would be talking about an at large bid.  Ok, why not.  If Akron wins out and loses in the final, do we get an at large bid?  (LOL)

    Right.   Reclaim our fears.  Actually, not feeling much either way on this game.   Expecting a loss or two going into March.  Prefer it's not at the JAR.

    Still can’t believe how well the White Out went over. I was thinking there’d be maaaaaybe 1/3 of the crowd wearing white. 

     

    The word definitely got out & almost everyone rocked it! Very cool 😎

    A relative of mine who was at the game said it was "one of the best Zips games they've ever been to."

    Twitter is buzzing about Akron basketball. The nation took notice last night. We're a real team with one of the best mid major barns in the country atmosphere wise (when we want it to be). 

     

    Massive shoutout to the students. 1400. That's nearly 10% of the entire student body that came out. Big time 6th man award last night. 

    all the buzz makes me nervous.  Staff has to keep their heads focused on task at hand.

    The game was listed as sold out at 6:00 when we tried to get tix. 

    I didn't write that well.  those seats aren't held by anyone during the season.  these guys picked them up at some point for last night.  never saw them before but were totally into the game.

    Tuesday is big. The northeast Ohio sports fan in me expects a let down. Hope the Zips prove me wrong!

    Groce would say it comes down to how they practice the next two days.  Preparation trumps pressure.

    There's going to be a let-down game like the 2020 cluster at Bowling Green.  i just hope it's at an away game.

    Was it Yogi Berra that said “The place is so crowded nobody goes there.”?

     

    There were easily a hundred or two that stood in each corner on the track due to the lack of seats. Closest the Zips have come to the CSU Zips game in the mid-80’s, where every seat was taken and people were sitting on the stairs throughout the JAR. 

    I think the seats next to me in the lower bowl are un-sold.  Was cool, last night a few Akron guys bought those tickets, had their beers, and were pumped for the game in their Akron gear.

    Announcers did a recap of last night's MAC games, and were gushing over Emoni's performance. They then mentioned that Can't never led the entire time, and got as close as 4 in the 2nd half, but literally never mentioned Akron except for "in the Rubber City."

     

    Puke.

    that's fine.  who picks the MAC POY?  coaches or media?  If it's media, being the cynic that I am, I could imagine som $$ and pressure floating around for a Bates pick.
