Although he hasn't been active for the Pacers in a couple weeks, I saw on Enrique's IG account that he made the trip to Paris. Whether he plays or not, it's great that he gets to make such a memorable trip!

I came here to say this (LOL). I think 3 point heavy mid major teams have a higher chance to pull an upset in March but also a higher chance of getting blown out.

You guys know they aren't gonna do anything special other than have him on the court before the game or at half with a video to accompany him.

I'm watching the Pacers and notice Enrique is on the bench but in street clothes. Does anyone know if he's injured? If not, and he isn't gonna be active, why are they not sending him to the G League?

Were Dyson and Malik not eligible for this year's draft because they were drafted last year?

They were picked to win the league, weren't they?

I'm pretty sure the video is just the video from the arena scoreboard. Terrible viewing experience so I shut it off and am just listening.

On the postgame radio show, Groce said Amani could've played but they wanted to give him more time to get back to 100%. As for Harris, he said it's shoulder injury that they're rehabbing. Didn't give a specific timeline.

It not being on the ESPN app is the school's choice (likely for budgetary reasons). There are plenty of D1 vs D3 games that are on ESPN+ all the time.

I asked the ticket office about this for basketball and they said you can contact them to re-use an unused ticket, even after the unused event has occurred. Just email Matthew and he'll get it handled.

I would gladly accept that scenario.

His deep dive did worry me a bit when I saw it. But I think it's putting too much weight on our non-conference play, particularly the losses to Indy and Temple. Due to those being two months ago, I think the committee will let us slide a little on those. Especially since we closed the season so strong.

I'm kinda just assuming that UCLA is going to get in based on name recognition. But with us being 4 spots above the line, I think we'll still be okay.

Furman wins 2-0...WVU wins on PKs. With the results, Akron stayed at #34. Ahead of UNCG at #35.

Looks like it's likely gonna be penalties for WVU and Marshall (5 minutes left in 2nd OT), which would count as a draw for record and RPI purposes.

Exactly. I keep finding myself wondering how we're even close to the cut line but then I have to remind myself about those back-to-back losses. Hopefully the committee keeps in mind that those matches were over two months ago and not reflective of our current form.

I saw they were doing free parking and free admission. Combine that with a title game against your rival and it's a good recipe for a big crowd.

Charlotte wins it in OT, keeping the Zips 4 spots above the projected cut line with all but the Big 10 title game completed.

Cal is ineligible because they have a losing record against D1 teams. They played one non-D1 team.

Princeton extends their lead to 2-0. Would have been nice to have Penn win as it would've likely moved Akron back ahead of Princeton in RPI, but since they're already ahead of us, at least we'll stay 4 above the cut line.

Halftime scores: Charlotte 1, FIU 1 Vermont 0, Bryant 0 Princeton 1, Penn 0

Definitely outside of the top 16 but how far is really unsure because the committee usually tries to keep geographical proximity in mind.

Early in these games, but outside of the Dayton match that was already mentioned as going in the Zips favor so far, two other ongoing matches are currently going against Akron...Princeton up 1-0 on Penn and FIU up 1-0 on Charlotte...Vermont and Bryant are still scoreless.

The way I'm looking at it, according strictly to RPI and nothing else, we're four spots ahead of the cut line with 3-4 potential "steals" left. Tomorrow, we'll want: Dayton over Saint Louis Vermont over Bryant Charlotte over FIU Penn over Princeton (If Princeton lose, we'd also likely jump them in the RPI and be 5 spots ahead of the cut line.) So things are looking good, but for some extra comfort, we could use the games above going the right way.
