7:46 pm tip-off according to CBS Sports Network.

Akron favored by 7.5 over Kent. Toledo favored by 3.5 over UMass.

I honestly think we blew out so many teams that we aren't sure how to handle close games. My advice would be not to let it get that close again tomorrow. 🤷‍♂️

Seems like it could be good in terms of getting more gear because I've seen many other schools use BSN to sell Nike gear directly to fans. Could be a way around the bookstore.

Especially if he keeps missing free throws.

I'm gonna try not to overreact after less than 5 minutes.

Dang, they tried.

Toledo couldn't possibly blow an 11 point lead in 4 minutes, could they? 😆

I may have stepped into the other room when the Miami game was finishing. But working from home has its perks.

For anyone at the arena, when the time comes, can you give an estimated start time so I know when to quit working for the day? 😉

Okay, now we gotta focus on our business!

It was a bizarre sequence of events to follow on the ESPN gamecast on my phone, so thanks for clarifying what happened. Certainly not a good way to end the half.

Now that they're actually playing, I want Miami to lose. But, I will not get my hopes up in the first half. I repeat, I will not get my hopes up in the first half.

I would also prefer to beat Miami in the championship game but ultimately, as long as we win the tournament, I won't really care who we beat.

I'll give you every game, but it's pretty standard stuff. 😅 Miami over UMass Toledo over BG Akron over Buffalo Kent over Ohio Miami over Toledo Akron over Kent Akron over Miami

Spreads for the Quarterfinals are below. Will there be any upsets? Akron (-12.5) over Buffalo Miami (-7.5) over UMass Toledo (-1.5) over BG Kent (-3.5) over Ohio

Toledo is favored by 1.5 over BG. The Kent game still isn't listed yet.

I saw him wiping away tears during the senior night ceremony.

While I'd like Akron to spend more money on Athletics, because I'm a sports fan, I'm not sure how many more students are going to enroll at a University because they win the MAC. It's not like Miami is going to consistently be in the national spotlight. They are right now in basketball because several close games went their way, but even with additional big spending, it would be very difficult to see them making national noise consistently while still in the MAC (or even if they move to the SBC or whatever). It seems like a bad financial decision to me, I guess is what I'm saying. 😉

Interesting, who was the email from?

Three guys recalled on the same day? Did they have some injuries happen?

Zips are favored by 13.5 against Buffalo with an O/U of 162.5. Miami is favored by 7.5 over UMass, and for some reason the other two games are not listed yet.

Right. I don't see how he's to blame for kids' math test results. Also, no one is taking into account how ridiculous standardized tests are. These kids are from disadvantaged backgrounds, so they likely are behind already before starting at the iPromise school. Just because they don't pass the standardized test doesn't mean the school isn't helping to improve their education. Not all "failure" on tests is the same.

I prefer not to think about how we let a good coach leave and take another local school to the conference final, while we missed the conference tournament completely.

I know it's a tall task, but if we were to beat Miami in the Championship game AND win a NCAA tourney game, it would be a program-changing week for Akron basketball. Not saying anything we don't all know already though, I guess. 😅
