Thanks for the insight. I'd like this if I could, however, it appears, I am out of likes for the day.

well yeah, we aren't getting votes because we lost our three hardest games. I think (IF) we won one of those games we would be receiving votes. The team was very very young when they played WVU and Louisville. If we played them now, I truly believe the games would be much closer, we probably would still lose but I think it would be by a more narrow margin. Lastly, I did not follow The Zips in 2012-2013 so I can not make a comment on that statement but what would it take (in your opinion) to top the 2012-2013 team?

2522.. I went to the Akron vs EMU game in Ypsi and after seeing their fan base (on a Saturday) I am thankful for our fan base. That arena was deader than a doornail.

If we won either of those games, or even against Liberty, we would without a doubt be a top 25 team in the country right now. We're literally just one win away from this team being considered the greatest Akron bball team in recent history, if not all time.

90th

Should be another double digit victory. Ball State lost to Evansville, Western Illinois, and Utep. While this game will be The Zips "biggest win" considering Ball State is on the brink of being a top 100 team. The Zips should easily roll them with a surplus of talent and team comradely which is typically unprecedented in Akron bball.

WOW, with the win over WMU the zips are up to #83 in the most recent Kenpom poll.

68-51 Go Zips

YES, here are a few of my favorites with a short description (in no particular order): 1) Isalita= (GF works there) high end Mexican food with amazing margs. My favorite is called the frozen blood orange blackberry marg. SO GOOD. 2) Frita Batidos= CUBAN Chorizo burgers! Limited family style seating though. 3) Jerusalem Gardens= phenomenal Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food that you 100% can't get in Oh. Trust me. 4) Gratzi= Fancy authentic Italian. Spectacular food but have only eaten there once do to the price $$$. 5) Pretzel Bell= includes a basketball court on the ceiling very fun for the family featuring comfort food. 6) Tomukun Korean BBQ (personal favorite)= very fun and hands on experience you can't get anywhere locally. Again, these are just a few of my favorites that would be different than something you would or could get in Ohio. For that reason I excluded pizza and burger joints. If you want standardized bar food I would recommend either Brown Jug or Blue Leprechaun.

According to KenPom, the Zips are the highest rated Mac team entering conference play.

I will also be at this game. My girlfriend goes to UofM (Ann Arbor) which is approximately 5000 feet away from Ypsi.

According to kenpom our best win was against #155 Marshall. Umass is rated #187.

Tulane is not a very good team. They're on pace to lose to Towson. The zips would have blown them out had they not played lackadaisically in the ten minutes.

BEAT TULANE

Akron moved up to #93 in the newest Kenpom poll while Tulane sits at 218.

It's early but the ESPN "Matchup Predictor" gives us a 70.3% chance to beat Tulane. This is according to ESPN's basketball power index.

I will probably end up skipping this game for obvious reasons

A win is a win

Zips have moved up to 96th in the most recent Kenpom poll. Only MAC team ahead of us is Toledo. In addition, Mikal Dawson may get to play this year? If so we may jump to MAC favorites.

nope

Here's the link, however, streaming will be not be available until the 7pm tipoff. https://www.reddit.com/r/ncaaBBallStreams/comments/e67o18/game_thread_marshall_vs_akron_0700_pm_est/

Yeah I will as we get closer to tip-off

Yeah, I do trust reddit. I have never had any adverse problems. Some streams are better than others, however, it's a free service and usually the best way to watch The Zips because ESPN plus, 3, or whatever the heck its called tends to be slow and laggy.

It'l be streamed on reddit for the low price of free

game will also be free on reditt.
