He can be unhappy but Pearl is not wrong. Miami (or Akron) probably would finish in the lower half of the Big East conference.

Speaking of odd brackets check out the Horizon League.

Article from CBS Sports on the NCAA tournament. 68 things to know about the conference tournaments and big dance. 49. Akron (24-5): John Groce has Akron zipping along. Akron owns a deep backcourt that can really get it going from 3-point range, and it has switchable forwards like brothers Eric and Evan Mahaffey, who can help snuff out advantages. Akron versus Miami University in the MAC Tournament title game would be insanely interesting.

Substitute Akron for Toledo and BGSU (or maybe Kent now) for Ohio.

How come Miami gets to finish against Ohio but we didn't get to finish against Kent?

And finished 13-15. That's crazy. Zips finished at 50% overall.

Gillespie is the only player on Kent's roster to have also been on their roster the last time they beat the zips.

Go boil your rabbit in somebody else's pot.

Yep much more like a Banana Republic game for him. 😉

In your head, in your heeaad... 🎼🎵🎶

Hardman hasn't shot a single three but Young Johnson and Scott are 11 for 13!

Yeah, not just a middle aged guy. Their PRESIDENT

OMG their president is wearing a bunny costume out of the Christmas story movie. There is so much wrong with that place.

We should really try to make things easier on the announcers and just morph two of our players into Sharroh Scoung.

Thank God Tavari did not transfer in the off-season.

Hard to believe we're up 10, 10 with zero points from Lyles. And I don't know what in the heck you knew before the game, because young is exactly four of five right now.

Shammah Scott is just so smooth. Guess he got tired of finishing Zips halves with three-pointers so he just glided in for a layup.

Young may be having his best game of the year.

I did not, however expect Eric Mahaffey to be such a difference maker that he would put two Flushes out with one play. 🤔

And the Flushes have already hit more three-pointers in this game than the entire last game.

I'll bet if you ask him though, he could throw it over a mountain into the basket. 😉

After that Tavari steal to Eric Mahaffey jam, they might want to use another.

Mahaffey brothers are certainly making a difference early.

And Miami ekes out yet another last second win. Their time is coming.

Man of Steele, emotions of Kleenex.
