I like it!

Here is an update on Colin Irish for you Z.I.P. Whatever happened to ... former Cathedral Latin basketball standout Colin Irish?

2500 x $4= $10,000 Make your check out to the marketing department at the University of Akron. I'm sure they would appreciate your support.

I thought he said he switched to the 1-3-1 to stop the dribble penetration that was leading to easy baskets for the Bulls. Then he said they run a hybrid version of that defense that is effective against the 3-pointer. I've always wondered why we don't use more Zone with Zeke patrolling the middle.

If an Akron fan tried to post the same type of troll messages OU fans post on ZN.o on bobkittyattack, they mods would delete them the minute they saw them.

Looked like 5K to me.

Bettencourt played a good game tonite. He really provided a spark off the bench and did a good job on #10. The switch to the 1-3-1 was the difference in the game.

Nah, they'll just sit in CK's seats in the reserved section.

Here is how we get better. It takes hard work.

Melo would probably start for about half the teams in the MAC.

Nice article in todays Toledo Blade. Zips remain MAC’s gold standard

Kretzer will continue to get playing time because he does all the dirty work like defense and rebounding. Just because he is struggling with his shot, does not diminish what he brings to the floor.

I hope you washed it first.

I agree completely. I think KD feels the same way, but Chauncey's injury was keeping him from performing up to his potential. It was nice seeing him make a difference at crunch time.

That's what they do right now, you aren't paying attention. I think we need to bring back Greg Rockich.

Congratulations on getting that degree Game Changer. I hope you get to put it to good use.

Very astute observation JZ!

The Rowdies were great at the game today. They put the Can't student section to shame. A great defensive performance by Zeke and Tree an the second half was the difference. Forsythe didn't play a single minute in the second half. One of these days this team is going to have a game where we can't miss from three. I pity the team we play that night.

We just arrived at the arena. Just after we sat down, Quincy Diggs sat right next to us. We asked about coming back next season. He said he would like to return, but wasn't sure yet if he would.

After reading GoZips post, I'm glad to hear that Wistricill is looking out for the best interests of the athletic department in this process. Personally, I hope they go with the bigger arena that would seat around 7000. If we ever expect to keep KD as our coach, a 3800 seat space won't do it.

Only for people who's egos are dependent on how 10 guys in short pants play a game twice a week.

My source inside the university says high level meetings in the last few weeks have focused on selecting a design for a new basketball arena. Three different designs proposals were presented. They ranged from $69 million for a 7k+ design to $44 M for a 3800 seat design. At this point the committee is leaning towards the 3800 seat design. It would have chairbacks from floor to ceiling on the sides and bleachers in the endzones. Very intimate with the seating right on top of the court and nice amenities in the rest of the arena. I know this isn't what a lot of Zips fans had in mind when thinking of the future, but its what we can afford. Currently there is zero funding in place for any arena.

Go cream-puffs go!
