Utomi is very streaky. He is either on or off. This years starters have been consistent.

YES, he was: Personal Transferred to Duquesne in April of 2017. Originally signed with Akron in November of 2015. His 80-foot buzzer-beating 3-pointer from his own foul line at the end of the first half of Liberty North’s 74-62 win against Fort Osage, earned him the No. 2 spot on ESPN SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays on Feb. 12, 2016. Integrated marketing communication major. Date of birth: 2/1/98.

"Junior big man Michael Hughes swats 5.2 shots per 40 minutes, and Duquesne only allows a conference-low 60.0 points per game in A-10 play." Wasn't he one of ours? There is only one path to the Dance for us, and it ain't easy. Don't think this article makes sense.

Ali? He almost never shoots. Not a threat.

Is there a final? I can't find one online

NOT risky. Necessary. Else he could have transferred out and played next year.

Welcome to the FOUL BOWL

I am not bad mouthing them. Just speaking truth. They both play hard and are probably good people.

Sayles has terrible hands. He can not make a rebound or do anything with the pill underneath unless he is not defended. Riak is improved, but still a turnover machine.

First of all, they shot the lights out. We scored 86 points and lost! Second, they exposed our one glaring weekness - CENTER. Neither of them can rebound or shoot worth a darn. If we had Knapke we would probably be dancing for sure. That being said, they not only had a height advantage but damn! those guys are athletic. Their record does not reflect their talent. We lost. Move on.

From SB Nation Mid-Majors Five-tournament NCAA at-large bid trend: 6–3–3–3–4 Current NET-ranked teams: 4 (top 30), 13 (31–75), 11 (76–100) Top 75 mid-majors either without a Quad 1 or 2 non-conference win (3): Akron, Furman, Santa Clara Top 75 mid-majors without a Quad 1 non-conference win only (4): Duquesne, Louisiana Tech, Saint Louis, Yale

RPI no longer counts, but for the record we are now #34. UWV is #1, and we are ahead of Gonzaga, which has a 212 SOS compared to our 114 (courtesy of games vs UWV and Louisville) http://realtimerpi.com/rpi_Men.html

Wishful thinking, but #50 could have a shot at an at large.

His deep shot looks a lot like LCJ. But he is the next Pistol Pete. I don't see the P5 schools letting him get away.

And what makes anyone think we can get a guy with this type of resume?

We are the only undefeated team in the MAC. Been a while since we could say that. Makes up for football a little?

Cheese better not be hurt. That would be a disaster.

He was excellent but LCJ should have gotten it again.

And Kent is #13. That is the big showdown this season.

That makes sense. No TV antennas! I think we used to march there on Thursdays for ROTC. It was parade day or something. But I do not recall the bleachers. Must have been torn down before the mid 1960's

I think LCJ drew 14 fouls. That is a big stat.

That would be me and I wish I could predict the winning lotto numbers.

I don't know how many of the people here watched this on TV, but the commentators were calling Akron a Sweet 16 team!

I hope someone recorded Groce's halftime talk. So we can use it again sometime.
