Obviously doesn't mean he's playing tomorrow, but Burton appears to have taken part in shoot-around.

How bad does ULM have to be for CMU to be favored by 3.5 points on the road? 😂

Akron opens as 5.5 point favorites over Louisiana.

All very good points. Although, I do think it's unlikely that UConn beats Georgetown on Friday. I've found one scenario where Akron can make it with a loss, which is: Seton Hall loss or draw AND UConn loss. A draw opens up so many scenarios that I'm not gonna go through them tonight. 😆 A Seton Hall loss or draw tonight would've been very helpful, as it would've meant that Akron only needed a draw in the last match to qualify.

Rounding off the results from @TennZip, Seton Hall beat Providence to move to 11 pts. Current standings are below: Tonight's results from around the conference did not help the Zips' chances of winning the division or making the Big East tournament...In short: To win the division, Akron needs to win and have Creighton draw or lose (unless Akron and Creighton both lose, and Xavier wins OR if Akron draws and Creighton losses) If Akron wins over Marquette, we're into the Big East tournament. We could make it with a draw depending on other results. (there's way too many scenarios to go through) I also just want to note for the fun of it, Butler can still win the Midwest division, and be the only team from the division to make the Big East tournament, with one specific scenario (Butler win, Xavier/Akron/Creighton losses). Basically, almost everything is still up in the air. 😅 (Akron is going to the NCAA tournament regardless)

Yeah, I saw that too. That's what made me think to go check the tiebreakers order and specifically the common opponents record.

I don't think I knew that, but that would make sense. Still probably would've been better than what we have now. 😅

My time as a Zips student (and fan) only goes back to the last season of Brookhart, so I can only really spoke on Ianello, Bowden, Arth, and Moorhead. So, the obvious answer is Bowden for me. From where he the program was when he took over to where it was in 2015 and 2016, you couldn't ask for much more. There was really no reason to get rid of him.

I see GoZips.com has updated the time to 8 pm EST so I think it's safe to say it starts at 8 pm.

With the MLS Next Pro season over for Austin FC 2, Stefan is on the bench today for Austin in their MLS match in Los Angeles against the Galaxy. I believe this is just the 2nd time he's been on a MLS matchday squad. Let's hope he gets to make his debut tonight!

Based on the two-way tiebreaker order listed above, between Akron and Creighton, the first one is a tie since they drew. Looking at the common opponents (2nd two-way tiebreaker) for Akron and Creighton, there are six of common opponents (5 completed matches and 1 remaining). Results are below. Creighton: Providence...Win Marquette...Win Xavier...Draw Butler...Win Georgetown...Loss Depaul (next week) TOTAL: 10 points Akron: Providence...Draw Xavier...Win Butler...Draw Georgetown...Loss Depaul...Win Marquette (next week) TOTAL: 8 points So, if both were to win their last match, Creighton would have the tiebreaker, 13 points to 11 points. By that match, Akron needs a three-way tiebreaker to win the division.

Akron goes up 1-0 on a 24th minute Thomas O'Rourke goal according to the live stats.

Feel free to merge my thread, as I started it at the same time as another poster.

Broadcast keeps cutting in and out with a technical difficulties message. Also, if the stream ever works, look for the tent in the far left corner of the complex. That's the visitors' "locker room" at Villanova. It's just a tent with folding chairs.

It would appear not. To me, it seems we either want Creighton to draw or lose next weekend...or have Xavier win both of their matches so it ends in a three-way tie, for which Akron would win the tiebreaker. But Akron does control it's own destiny in terms of finishing in the top 4 and making the Big East tournament.
