It looked like they actually practiced shooting over Zeke. You are correct, they were arcing the shots over him, and Zeke looked quite frustrated that he was jumping as high as he could and was not getting a piece of the ball.

That's a technical foul for you.

That is possible. The laptop and XBox started out top quality, then it went down, especially in the second half. It could have to do with my cable. It is raining out here.

One comment on the feed: Both my laptop and XBox (daughters) are getting a very low quality, but for some reason my Android tablet gets it perfectly. That was the case on the last game on espn360 as well. So you might get a better result using an Android tablet if you have one. Of course, that does not help us win.

McD just never misses. You can't beat that.

It feels like we are down 20. But it is only 6, and we are still very much in this game. If McD gets the flu by the second half, we have a shot.

Damn censorship! Creighton looks like a top 25 team.

He is holding he head because he bet against the spread.

We will win this game. You heard it here first.

It's pretty funny that they think Zeke is the big threat on OFFENSE. They really have not done their homework. Sadly, the coach and players probably have.

We should have beaten Notre Dame in the Dance. They were ranked #5 or #6.

WOW A 6'9" who may still be growing and a 6"10" And we have PF at 6'11 for three more years. I think this can grow into a major program with this kind of size.

Except probably for Cablevision. Thankfully you guy are not blessed with it.

I hope we don't lose PF. Rotator Cuff injuries are painful, from personal experience. I had a strain that did not require any actual medical treatment but I could not raise my arm above my head for a few weeks. He is younger and hopefully way stronger and can work through it.

I would NOT want to disappoint you! It was reported that the game should be on ESPN3, and may be able to be viewed on ESPN360.com

I know. Chase needed to save the game AGAIN. Sigh******

Blackburn saves the game for the Giants! Does he possible have another year of college eligibility?

Well, you have a point except when you consider that: We were DIV II We were a smaller school. Enrollment when I started in 1967 was around 5000, if I remember right. We had only three dorms. Two small womens (two story each) and one mens tower. Many of the students were there to avoid the VietNam draft and didn't really care about school. (And for anyone who wants to jump down my throat for that, more than 1/2 the freshman on my floor the first year were gone into the Navy or Air Force when I was a soph. It was not patriotism - and I am not knocking them - it was staying out of the Army where most of the KIAs occured). So there is really no excuse for that kind of attendance now.

Wasn't something mentioned that the band was moved because the visiting bench was complaining?

I graduated from Akron in 1971. In some of those years we had a top ranked DIV II team. We actually used to fill Memorial Hall for most every game, and it made a huge home court advantage. I remember standing for a few games. However, in general, the history of Akron has always been an apathetic townie school. I lived in the dorms and then later a Frat house. The dorm and Frat people attended the games because it was part of the campus life. I also hung out with people from the Independent Student Association, who were just about all townies. Getting one of them to show up for anything after class was a tall order. Akron students had a tendency of hanging out with their same friends from high school, and getting off campus as soon as they could. It really is a shame. We have a very noteworthy hoops team, that could make a run this year. A lot of people seem to become interested after they are gone, but not while they are students. It is probably what will always separate us from the "big boys". I have been out on I80 after a Penn State Football game. The traffic jam stretches hundreds of miles all the way to New York. Akron just does not generate that type of loyalty, for whatever reason. I do, however, remain a charter member of the Shroeders for Lunch Bunch.

I have to agree.Walsh, Kretzer, Gilliam. In that order I think.

I stand corrected.

Just like that guy in the bar last week who crashed his face right into my fist!

We could have gone to a bowl game. All we needed to do was win another 7 or 8 games.

As I recall, there was never any opportunity to foul in two point territory on that play. It would have been in the backcourt, and runs the risk of an intentional foul or flagrant, which gives them the ball after the shots.
