I'm not sure you've understood my post. I am a UCONN alumnus .. and despise U_Ass to levels equal to that of Indiana (also a Purdue grad) and the school whose name shall not be uttered.Camby & Calipari were yellow. They wouldn't dare play UConn when we had Marshall, Marshall, Allen & company .. they ran and hid until a few years later when the Huskies then handed them their asses.I can't tell you how much I will enjoy the Zips ending the minutemen's season.Go Zips!

Not a UA grad .. engineer (ME).

This is a drivable road game .. long day, but with 2 drivers, it can be done in a straight shot.Basketball HOF is pretty close by.UMass is a dreadful place similar to that school that shall not be named in Wanker County. Yes, ZW is a UConn grad. This is a beautiful thing. Zips @ U_Ass with a chance to end the minutemen's season on a long holiday weekend.Hope to see you there!!! B) Go Zips!

I'm quite certain they had no idea there are 2 McKnight's on the team.

I'm thrilled that a player of the caliber and character such as Zeke is considering the Zips for the next step of his education and basketball experience. I think it's a credit to Keith and his staff that the program has the support and stability to attract such top shelf individuals as Zeke.I'm certainly not a player or insider, but I have been a fan a long time and have attended the men's basketball functions for several years. My wife and I traveled to Alaska for the TOW tournament this past November.One of the things that keeps my interest in the program at an all time high is the clear commitment that Keith & staff have to the academic aspect of things. At the summer golf outing benefit for example, the academic accomplishments of his teams is usually one of the first topics he brings up, and I believe one of the things he is most proud of. As are the fans. It's important to most of us that Keith recognizes that it's the UNIVERSITY of Akron .. not just some semi-pro hoops team in Akron. That's a big deal.Finally, as someone who did not attend UA, but employs several people who did / do .. I'll say that the preparedness and practicality of the UA graduate is really good. I believe it to be one of the best kept secrets in the midwest .. focused mostly on the undergraduate student. Go Zips

I'm NOT able to make this happen :(I know on good evidence that ZZZips will be there (he hasn't missed a game all season).Hopefully a bunch of students are at Panama City and can drive up (designated of course) after Tuesday's beach activities to FSU for some fun.Do us proud, whoever gets there.I should be at the remaining games at UMass, Cuse & the Garden.

I like Quickzips' post above .. and have many of the same thoughts. I'll come back to 2008-09 when 07-08 is over.Go Zips!

Official Western Michigan Thread
Zip Watcher replied to Captain Kangaroo's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
Why would you ever have to make this choice? Linhart can take Kool out of the game man to man .. we don't need to double Kool. If you need to double Reitz, you do it from somewhere else, and force someone other than Kool to make the shot.I don't think this is that type of pick poison thing at all. We attempt to take Kool out of the game, and force Reitz to find someone else to take the open look -
NITology has Akron playing in the CBI Tournament

We'd have Utah at home in that bracket, and then go to Missouri .. -
NITology has Akron playing in the CBI Tournament
Zip Watcher replied to Marty McFly's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
If NCAA doesn't happen .. CBI for sure. -
To me, the real question is this:In the off chance that the Zips don't go dancing to the NCAA, can/will Mack & KD turn down the NIT bid in an effort to get into the CBI instead.A potential for 6 games including a best of 3 final series in the 16 team CBI. If the NCAA isn't in the cards, I'd rather be in the CBI than NIT.

I spoke with a coach on Wednesday night .. and FWIW asked about how Jimmy was doing, and the reply was really upbeat and supportive of Jimmy.I'm an outsider, but I think it's a numbers game .. they struggle to find good rotations when they're playing more than 9 guys, and with Brett coming on, and Jimmy missing some time a couple of weeks ago, I suspect he just lost the spot.Hope he stays .. and graduates. Very nice guy if you ever meet him.His commitment to the defensive end of the court earns him my respect and hope that he stays. Theoretically, he's only a Sophomore, so that upside can still be tapped.Hang in there Jimmy!Go Zips!

What does it say about Akron Basketball if....
Zip Watcher replied to Big Zip's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
I'm in the camp that believes that starting those 5 guys was the absolutely correct thing to do. We should do that every year, for every player.
