Zips fan

I am here! I am watching the game on the computer from ESPN. Let's Go ZIPS!!

I don't want to think too much about this issue but I was looking at ESPN's website. Here is a breakdown on their bubble teams:Winners:Michigan, Florida State, Xavier, Michigan State, Texas Tech, Arkansas, Illinois, Oklahoma State, Akron, and Georgia.Losers:Clemson, Alabama, Syracuse, Air Force, UMass, and WVU.

82-53!!! Way to go ZIPS!! Great first step-keep it going!!!

I think the sweep is plenty of bragging rights. I would rather WMU, it would be their third game of the tournament.

I added a couple of votes for the Zips. We are now at 18%(17.9 actually) and the vote has 13 teams ahead of us right now. I am glad to see some of the mid-major teams doing ok in the vote compared to the BCS schools.

I think the Zips are better than CMU on a neutral floor by 10. Add in the fact that CMU is playing their second game and the Zips should have a home crowd advantage, I could see us up by as much as 15.Final Score:Akron 71CMU 58

Congrats to Romeo Travis! This is a well deserved and outstanding honor. Romeo was a great player for the Zips and will someday enjoy seeing his jersey hung from the rafter along with the NCAA tournament banner that is forthcoming from this year.

Akron is your MAC EAST CHAMPIONS!!! WAY TO GO ZIPS!!!

It would be very hard to Keith to win COY honors when they were picked to win the conference, but he has not won the honor yet and he brought a .500 team to consecutive 20+ win seasons and has the Zips as a power at home. I would probably vote for Joplin as well, but Keith has done an amazing job in his three years. I think all three years he could have won the award and the pick would be warrented. Anyways, I agree with MAC report online. I think those picks make sense.

Wow, that was alot of fouls! I can't believe their was 54 free throw attempts in a college game. Congrats on the win! Lets keep it going against Duquesne!

I am surprised that BG does not have more people foul out. They have 26 fouls so far.

Great game for Romeo (27 points so far). I feel like we are due for a big run here. Let's Go Zips!!

Well, the Zips are winning at the half. French is saying the refs are doing a bad job and it seems the Zips are getting fouled on every shot. Twenty-seven free throw attempts in the first half-at some point, we will start hitting these shots. I feel the Zips are capable of running away with this in the second half. Let's go Zips!!

Congrats to Dru Joyce on becoming the all-time assist leader for Akron!!!

5:00 min in and BG is keeping it close thanks to 3 pointers. I really hope the Zips can bury BG in the first half and prevent this from becoming a game.

Before I start rooting for Ohio to beat Can't, lets look at the big picture. The first thing the Zips need is a first round bye at the Q. If Can't wins today, it almost assures the Zips a bye in the first round. If Ohio wins, the Zips will have a two game lead over Ohio which is not completely safe. As it stands, I think I would rather the Zips and Can't both go undefeated until our match-up. I would like to win the East by beating them at their place.

Going to overtime! Let's GO ZIPS!!

Who should shoot?

1350AM is streaming audio for the game for those out of state. Solid first half-keep it up Zips!

FT missed. It ain't over yet!

Dials has the hot hand tonight.

Akron 21 rebounds Toledo 20 rebounds

In a way, I was rooting for OU to win this one. I wanted their RPI to be as high as possible when we play. I don't think they can beat us at the JAR and I still believe our RPI will matter at the end of the season. I might be losing faith about an at-large bid, but a conference championship would mean we need to be seeded.

The O/U is 110? I got to believe the total is going to be alot higher.I think this game will define the end of the season for the Zips. Get by Toledo and we will go on to the number 1 seed for the tournament, lose to Toledo and then a fight to the end of the year with the rest of the MAC EAST.Akron 77 Toledo 72

I was thinking the same thing. OU is good at spending time on message boards and running smack, but is this really that big of a challenge. We are playing Toledo, the leading team from the West- bigger game. We also have Can't coming up-the second ranked team in the East-bigger game. Why are people getting so jacked up about OU? They are the one team that has blemished our record, but they are just another game. Toledo and Can't are big games. OU is just a W along the way to the number one seed.
