That JAR is really holding this team back. 25-6 and 17-1 and UNDEFEATED AT HOME. What a hell scape.

Which only confirms that this thread and some comments are a trolling exercise.

Zipped Up gives us an excellent preview of the MAC Tournement. https://open.substack.com/pub/akronzippedup/p/zips-mens-basketball-weekly-update-964?r=4gotw8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

No.

Groce chose NOT to allow this team to devolve into mediocrity in age of transfer portal and NIL.

Miami, Kent, OU, Akron in MAC blue blood semis.

BPI + KPI + NET + KENPOM + SOR + TOR + WAB and divide by 7.

I guess there is a reward for being only "a good team in a bad conference."

I like the idea of re-seeding the teams. However, this year not much difference between 4/5/6/7. If they allowed all the teams to play in, then the re-seeding would be a super benefit.

Says a lot about the program that Ali would come back to the game and do this.

PCCC: You do You.

The MAC isn't what it used to be, but Akron went 17-1 and tied Kent's longstanding record which came from one of the greatest MAC teams of all time (Kent 2002). Incredible.

Someone told me that the $10k putting contest was for the dance team so they can travel to nationals. So students benefited all around!

I got the sense that they did take the foot off the gas. At one point, Jimmy and Amani were on the bench and Bowen was like the biggest guy out there...maybe kamali was on the court. He wasn't risking injury or something stupid happen.

That was the craziest game in Mt Pleasant. Central missed like 25 FTs. missed 5 of 6 to end regulation?. NIU guy throws a pass for an alley oop and some how THE ACTUAL PASS goes in. Total fluke. Lucky Loser = BG.

Eastern 3, Kent 4, toledo 5, Ohio 6

I can answer that the end of next week.

Jeremy Harris as well.

Right these total wins, win streaks, and KDs infamous "20" win seasons are fuzzy math, garbage in/garbage out stuff. Throw in some D3s, some low level MAC competition, etc. and next thing you know you have a record. I'm not diminishing what this team or any other team did. These #s are good for low-information fans and the media. If I were to tell someone Akron set record for most wins in a season, the response back usually isn't "But SUNY Brockport."

If NIU wins, I think BG falls into 8th seed even if they lose and Ball State wins.

The practice today will be brutal.

Zips had their best first half and worst second half. If that happens in Cleveland, they will be toast. 63 points (when is last time THAT happened) and many, many boneheaded turnovers. Yes, refs made some bad calls, but they put themselves in the position where the refs could make a difference. FTs count like any other point and those won them the game.

I think that final foul by Toledo angered Groce. His facial expression wasn't good.

30% ???
