Soft from lack of competition...would be my guess.

That is an excellent point about the leadership. I do wonder what having zero competition did to this team over the past few weeks. I watched the first few minutes and saw Casteneda getting pressured and dribbling all over the floor as if he was surprised someone was effectively guarding him.

not enough players were "impactful."

I can name a few. Zips v Bulls in Q-Finals of MAC tourney in Groce's first year. I think in Groce's second year they had an awful (get up and walk out) game v the Kittens and SaulBall...reminds me more of that game.

Two more losses by more than 20?

That has nothing to do with Akron. Toledo is home team and espn or whoever sets the time. Hit Akron for stuff they can control.

So will this considered a bad loss come Selection Sunday?

These coaches are paid 600k per year to turn out utter garbage. It's obscene.

Call your credit card Co and explain that u don't know who made the charge.

Losers' bracket where they belong. Guthrie wishes he stayed at Green Bay.

Sorry 15 point difference.

So both teams are awful. Have exact stats but Fordham made 3 behind the arc and Zips made zero. = 9 point difference

I think he meant Greg Tribble not Trimble.

I try as hard as anyone to believe in something but there is a miasma hovering over this athletic program that never seems to clear up.

You can watch the Zips warm up on the livestream

Rice has had like 5 opportunities to win. I think a top 4 MAC school could have finished this game off (excluding BGSU).

96-96 with 20secs. His demeanor...both teams suck. These guys are awful!!!

I knew that Rice guy wasn't going to make those. FTs. Bad body language...but he made one!

going to be a long day. First game going to OT after both teams screwed up their final possessions. Double OT. Ugh.

good point. and the sound just went off . May need to watch with Joe Dunn and that new guy doing play by play. Ok, this beginning to be a train wreck. They have the game clock now but no sound except for the Spanish language commercials for Mark Walhlberg's car dealership. Now there's audio

I signed up and can watch the Evansville/Rice game now. Nice picture. good coverage.

I noted in a separate thread that Kittens were able to keep it close with Kentucky up to the point Kentucky turned up the defense. Kentucky worried me for awhile. They were playing like that traditional low seed power 5 program that is surprised in the first round because they just roll along in a half court game while the higher seed pops 3s from all over the court. Once Kentucky, who has some amazing players and one of the best rebounders I've even seen, stepped it up just a notch and pressed and pressured it was over. Groce finally has the depth to do that and not worry about his star player tiring out.

And do we extend the "No Notre Dame" rule to all of Indiana? ☠️

Progress for me would be a team that keeps us at the stadium to the end of the game each and every Saturday and Tuesday. I walked out in the 2nd quarter on Saturday. As for pay for play games, that's a tough call. $3.5 mill gave them some cushion to buy out Arth. And when Guthrie scheduled TN for next year, Arth had to know that was to pay for his firing.

And he gave us iCoach
