At the moment Akron would not be one of the four teams to make the Big East tournament, but they do control their ability to do so. At the moment they sit tied for sixth place with St John's and Butler. St John's holds the tie breaker over the Zips but the Zips hold it over Butler. Standings are as follows (although the East and Midwest division leaders will each get a slot regardless of point totals). Georgetown 13 Creighton 10 UConn, Seton Hall, Providence 9 St John's, Zips, Butler 7 Villanova 6 Xavier 5 DePaul 1 Marquette 0 The "easy" way for the Zips to get in is win their last three. Then it won't matter what Creighton does in their other two games because the best they could do would be to tie the Zips and the Zips would hold the tiebreaker. But barring passing Creighton, they need to sneak ahead of three of the four of Uconn, Seton Hall, Providence and St. John's. The good news is all of them play each other at least once and some twice, so we probably want to root for a lot of ties. 😂 And the Zips really need to take advantage of playing two of the three bottom teams before they get to Creighton. If they can pull off two wins and at least a tie against Creighton, I think they're in. Going to be an interesting last few weeks.

We gave up 42 points to a team that scored zero last week. Well he's not a defensive genius. 😊

Is there an unwritten rule that if the opponents offense gives you five yards on a false start you have to jump off side and give it right back to them?

That didn't last too long. Toledo 45-10.

This has become unwatchable again.

"Legally grounding the ball"

We sure? 😉

Sign Joe to an extension! 🤣

Watching a bit of Georgetown DePaul, just had a called penalty kick for DePaul overturned on a VAR review. Plus I noticed DePauls soccer field doubles as their softball field - with a whole skinned infield in the corner. Akrons facilities are better than some of the Big East for sure.

Disappointing draw - still ticked off about that VAR review. 🤣

On their only shot of the half. Grrrr

Seton Hall gets called for offsides on their goal and gets overturned on VAR. I don't see how they possibly could have overturned it.

Seton Hall's soccer field is the outfield of their baseball stadium

1-0 Zips lead six minutes in!

Gotta admit I'm rooting for the Mariners but it was nice to see Bassitt have a good outing tonight.

But back on for the ALDS. 👍

Number of unique posters (not including me since measuring something changes that thing) that actually posted during the game - 10. Excitement has never been lower.

Missed this one while I was there recently but I did find this. Went in to talk to the shop owner and his first question was "Are you from Ohio?" 🤣

Yep this will somehow be the year we get to six - and then get denied bowl participation.

This week ain't over yet.

Offset by CMUs even bigger dumbass play of the day.

Definite candidate for dumbass play of the day.

It disappears fast, my friend. 😂

Not so fast, my friend. 😊

Are you saying our 1897 win over Ohio State is somehow now meaningless? smh. 😂
