    The real trap game is the Eastern Michigan game as they look forward to Concord.

    174.5

    Akron currently 6.5 point favorites on DraftKings.

    Who is Miami playing? Hiram, John Carroll, or Mount Union?

    This is turning into a comedic bit at this point.

    By my count, we've already seen 9 defensive players enter the portal including 5 on the D Line. 🫠

    Everyone knows that Trinity, IU East, and Milligan are tough. Not to mention Maine and Mercyhurst.

    Kinda sad that their toughest matchup so far is against a 4-5 team.

    I caught some of that game and they hid the lack of crowd very nicely by not turning on any lights in the seating area. 🤣 But then again, our attendance is nothing to brag about either.

    Yep, one game per team. There's four games in total with Akron playing in the first game of the day, followed by three more. Some really decent teams are playing after Akron so it's too bad that it's not a tourney! Akron vs Murray State Santa Clara vs Arizona State UNLV vs Tennessee State UC San Diego vs Tulane

    I didn't look too far into it but it says on this page that you can purchase an "event pass" for $20. I assume you get to watch all four games for that price (there's 3 games after the Zips game). https://www.ballertv.com/events/jack-jones-classic-2025

    I looked up our previous elite 8 home matches to see what the attendance was at each. I didn't write them down but they were roughly 4,200 (2009), 3,400 (2010), and 3,000 (2015). What do we think the attendance will be today? For reference, last weekend was 1,344.

    I didn't look into the reason behind it because I'm lazy but I see that the Georgetown vs NC State match was moved to tomorrow afternoon. I assume weather related?
  14. Zips1991
    Zips are favored by 7.5 points according to ESPN

    Looks even worse now that season ticket holder seats have been made available for public purchase. Hopefully there's a lot of walk up sales tomorrow but I'm not confident in that. It's too bad but I'm gonna choose to focus on the game!

    One thing to keep in mind, although I don't think it's really factoring into him not playing right now...Two-way players can only be active for 50 NBA games per season. He couldn't be active every game from here on out even if they wanted him to be. Unless, they convert him to a regular contract.

    Great article from the Beacon Journal previewing Saturday's match and drawing some similarities to the 2018 Zips team. https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/college/soccer/2025/12/04/akron-zips-soccer-saint-louis-ncaa-tournament-college-cup-jared-embick/87558472007/

    This is the plan but it's only a great Saturday if they both win!
  19. Zips1991
    Still something me and my friend talk about. We were students at the time and sitting in the GA seats behind the hill. As the match went to PKs, we realized that we were sitting right behind the family of the Cal goalkeeper.

    Also, important to note is that for the September 23 match, Saint Louis was on the 2nd game of a road trip during which they played at Duquesne a few days before so they had been on the road for several days leading up to the match.

    I was curious were Akron ranked in terms of NCAA team offense leaders. Turns out we're 5th at 96.1 points per game. But, more surprising was Kent State at 3rd with 97.2 points per game. That hasn't been their style in recent years. Although, I guess it wasn't our style until last year either.
  22. Zips1991
    I believe I saw somewhere that NET does not take into account preseason expectations as a sort of starting point, while KenPom does. So, for example, Buffalo is probably higher in the NET ranking than KenPom because KenPom is essentially adjusting for them to "come back down to earth". Is this correct?
  23. Zips1991
    Match is scheduled for Saturday at 1 pm.
  24. Zips1991
    I'm still cold two hours later but it was worth it!
  25. Zips1991
    Great game and great defensive effort down the stretch to make sure Duke had no false hope! Feels good to be back in the Elite 8. Let's hope for a Saint Louis win and a week of recuperation for Stefan and Remi!
