BTW that foul on the three point shot at the end might not have been a bad call.... In the sense that if the foul prevented the shot from having a chance to go in, the shooter than needs to make three out of three. Now I know that guy is a really good foul shooter, but no one shoots 100%. In a way it could be playing the odds. If the shot drops, then it is deadly.

If they didn't call that lane violation we win by 1 in regulation.

According to teamrankings.com we were #148, and we beat #17 This should have a positive effect.

Zeke is playing like an NBA prospect. Again.

I'm gonna have to see my cardiologist tomorow!

NO audio. When the webcast first started, there was some loud audio, like someone was plugging it in. Then it just went away. Typical.

Never mind just went in.

Where is PF today? Is he hurt?

He could have had the decency to take his team to the bowl game before he left. No class.

We probably hurt their chances, because our record was so bad this year. If we had been 5-6 or better beating us would have helped their cause. Beating a 1-11 team is like they played a high school game or something. The people who do the rankings will probably take off a place or two for beating us.

+1 I don't think I mentioned it in the articles I posted, but they also stole from the coach. Nothing like biting the hand that feeds you.

Hall, a 6-7 freshman forward, was a big recruit for Cassara. Hall is from Brooklyn but played for perennial powerhouse St. Anthony High School in Jersey City. He has played in all seven games this season with six starts. He is averaging 12.7 points -- second on the team -- and a team-leading 9.4 rebounds in a team-high 32 minutes per game. Stokes, a 5-10 sophomore guard, is from Harlem but played at heralded Lincoln High School in Brooklyn. Stokes played for Hawaii as a freshman, transferred to Hofstra and was granted a hardship waiver from the NCAA that made him eligible to play this season. He has played in all seven games this season with six starts and is averaging 10 points and 2.6 assists. Anglin, a 6-1 freshman guard from Montclair, N.J., who played at Seton Hall Prep, has appeared in six games this season and is averaging 3.2 points per game. Washington, a 6-3 freshman guard from Las Vegas, has played in all seven games with one start. He is averaging 2.4 points per game.

Maybe Can't will offer them! I can't link the story because you need a subscription, so here it is: Galleries Police: Four Hofstra players arrested Recent LI mug shots FBI Most Wanted Web links 2011 Crime numbers on LI Long Island's latest crime and police reports Four Hofstra University basketball players took advantage of their campus prestige to gain access to dorm rooms and steal more than $10,000 in high-end electronics -- and ultimately a victimized student helped bring down their theft ring, police said. The hoops stars sold the stolen goods to pawnshops, fellow students and through Craigslist, then used the proceeds to buy clothing and off-campus meals, said Det. Lt. Ray Cote, commanding officer of the Nassau police department's Third Squad. "They were using this money that they gained to lead a more lavish lifestyle," Cote said. "They're prominent figures on campus, being athletes. And because of their social status they would have access to dorm rooms and they would get into areas, visiting one person perhaps and while in that area access a room that was unoccupied and take items." The four players -- Shaquille Stokes, 20, Kentrell Washington, 18, Jimmy Hall Jr., 18, and Dallas Anglin, 18, were involved in the string of thefts between Oct. 4 and Nov. 5, stealing cash, a Sony laptop, headphones, three MacBook Pros, an Apple iPod, two Apple iPads and an Apple iPod Touch, police said. Cote said investigators believe the players committed other burglaries -- and authorities expect more students to come forward to report additional thefts in the coming days. "All four young men . . . had access to many public areas throughout the campus," Cote said. "They knew what they were doing. They planned certain things. But a lot of them were crimes of opportunity." The crime ring began to crumble Tuesday, police said, when a female Hofstra student whose iPad was stolen earlier this month logged into the gadget's internal locator program and found it registered to a new owner: Shaquille Stokes. She reported her discovery to police, who used the players' dormitory key card records and campus sign-in sheets to retrace their crime spree and link them to the thefts, Cote said. "As students move around campus, they swipe a student ID card to travel through locked doorways," Cote said. "We were able to categorize cases with the movement of the students, and in cases where we found things were missing, we saw a pattern of people being in a place where things had gone missing." The players all made statements acknowledging involvement in the crimes, court records show. They pleaded not guilty at their arraignments Friday. The university suspended the four from the team and the school pending the outcome of the case.

Careful your warning level will go up.

When things go bad a true Zips fan blames the coach. Yes, the coach that has won 20+ games how many seasons in a row? Yes, the coach that has gotten the team to the MAC Championship game how many years in a row? Since we (probably) can't blame Bush, it must be the coaches fault.

I must have wandered into the wrong place. I thought this was the Akron Zips basketball forum. Sorry to intrude on the hockey discussion.

Blackburn is having some game tonight. Hope you guys are watching.

I also thought we would be a pretty good matchup. But he is for real. In fact, I think Kretzer will look exactly like him in three years.

He is a real star. Seems to have the size, moves and shots to go to the next level.

We have finally been put out of our misery. Now we can concentrate all our Zips energy on getting to the Dance.

Thank you for the clarification. Keep in mind that I am not a "customer" of UA, I am someone they solicit for donations. So if they choose to ignore me, I can do the same. I don't do twitter, but note that Greg said they were "aware" of the problem. Awareness is good, fixing it is better. Many of us are all over these boards hoping to not only build a Top 25 BB Program, but to escape from the MAC. We really need to get our act together. When 100,000 people show up at State College for a football game, they are NOT all active students, you can believe that. Meanwhile, we have this nice new stadium that is not even half full for games. The University needs to do a better job if we are going to get onto the map.

Of course. Sometimes you can hear background noise, like there is an open mike. You can even hear the arena announcer. But there is no play by play feed. Or it is totally out of sync. It is very hard to follow the game when there is no way to figure out what is going on.

And then I can completely ignore them when they ask me for money. I am not a politically correct person. And this is nothing new. Up until last year, we had to pay for the feed, and it either didn't work at all or when it did there was no audio. It is incredible that such a large University can not get this right over the course of years. SOMEONE has to speak out about it, and at the suggestion of Dr. Z I did exactly that. And now you call me a prick. Why don't you divert some of that energy into fixing the problem? And BTW, TW said he was "not aware of the problem". Are you kidding me?

And here is the response from the AD: xxxxx Thanks for your note and feedback. This is an ongoing issue that is being addressed. We do provide play-by-play audio from our radio broadcast with our basketball video stream. Due to equipment issues we often have a problem with the sync. You can also listen to our radio broadcast free of charge online through iheartradio http://www.iheart.com/live/3455/?autoplay=true Please let me know if you have any questions. -Gregg -- Gregg Bach | Assistant Athletics Director for Communications Department of Athletics | The University of Akron 373 Carroll St., Suite 83 | Akron, Ohio 44325 Office: (330) 972-6106 | Mobile: (330) 760-0522 | Fax: (330) 374-8844 Website: GoZips.com | Twitter: @ZipsGregg From: "scosgt@aol.com" <scosgt@aol.com> Date: November 20, 2012, 12:18:56 PM EST To: "Wistrcill,Thomas" <tw41@uakron.edu> Subject: Re: Ask the AD The basketball game feeds have NO audio.
