Falcons up 72-68 with 7-plus to play at Michigan State ... and don't score again. Turnovers and jacking up 3-pointers. Didn't seem to try to keep the game close down the stretch. Strange. (But the Falcons do have a ton of talent).
-
Bobcats got their clocks cleaned again at Memphis.... this league is a mess. Ohio, Kent, Akron have all been dusted by 20-points by quality competition. Toledo looks decent, but haven't played a P5 yet. We'll see.
-
Kent State goes down hard at Auburn ...
-
11/13 ... Central Michigan ...14-point dogs on the road, win at the buzzer 70-69 at George Mason. They have two of the best wins in the MAC so far.

The two ways you run successfully is to (1) rebound, which is the easiest. (2) You have to win between the free throw lines with defense/steals/turnovers, which is harder to do over the course of a 30-game season. We'll see how it looks after 5-10 more games.

Upon further review (St. Mary's 20-point loss) .... never mind.
-
Ugh!! The Bobcats are terrible. (Lost at Illinois State and game was never really close). If that's the best the MAC has to offer, then the Zips should have little resistence getting to the top of this league ... no matter what happens at St. Mary's. Toledo is Toledo, and guessing Kent is Kent. Zips roster talent tops all of those teams ... and depth too.

More and more 'fairness' is becoming a very lost element in our moral fiber. And sadly I'm just not talking about sports.

Since Mike Bobinski or Mike Thomas when has an Akron AD gone on to bigger and better things ...
-
Hey ... I get it. If you can legitimately claim it, then claim it. I think you can raise a banner either way. I'm just too old school, and I understand that. But I actually ache when teams (Akron in the past) do so much to win a regular season championship to somehow have it 'dismissed' for not winning 3 games in March.
-
Another pet peeve (and I know I'm losing this one before I even start ... but) The MAC CHAMPIONS are the Toledo Rockets The MAC Tournament winner/Champions are the Akron Zips The fact the 'reward' for winning the tournament is greater than the 'reward' for winning the regular season title, in my mind, does not negate the greater accomplishment (18-games vs. 3 games). But that's just me.

May not compete at the highest level .... but ... Zips/MAC can compete against high level teams. And should do it consistently.
-
Dennison was not a bad AD ... he had ill-advised presidents operating behind his back. He NEVER would have hired Faust.
-
I hear you ... but the object of the game is put the ball through the hoop!!!
-
Obvious takeaway ... even vs. lesser opponent ... this team has mad depth.
