Skip, Abreau is a freshman. Do you really think he should be playing like a senior? Its taken Dambrot most of the season, but it now appears that we have something of a set rotation for playing time. Some nights one guy is going to have a good game, other nights it will be another players opportunity to get PT at crunch time. Yes Rico has had some turnovers, but overall his assist to turnover ratio is pretty good. I attribute a big part of our turn around to his willingness to drive the lane. How much complaining was there about Steve's lack of ability to drive the lane and finish. Suddenly Steve is driving to the hole more and getting the big guys easy shots. Personally, I'm looking forward to three more years of Abreaus' ball hawking and fearless ply around the basket. Stop taking everything KD says in the post game interview so seriously, I'm sure he loves what Alex brings to the team.

Here's a nice little piece that sums up my feelings on public unions pretty well. Paul Krugman's Third World fantasy .

Final OU 88-Can't State 87

Extra Points: Ibitayo heading to Akron

More on Blake. Justice scores 38 Another record falls, another Peebles win, another SHL crown Justice breaks SHL scoring mark

None of our guys are flushy enough to merit a first team selection. KDs' system makes it tough to impress the voters because no one is going to score 35pts or get a high % of the shots taken by the team. The POTY is a beauty contest, we have a bunch of 7's and 8's, no 10's. I think Nik deserves to be 1st team All MAC because he has been so consistant all season. He has the total game, scoring, rebounding, assists, defense and the most important leadership. Will he get the nod, I don't think so.

Hair plug boy.

Why do you have to talk that way about other programs? Is it because Akron is the worst team in the worst conference in D1 so it makes you feel better? My guess is either THEY realized, the coaches realized or a combination of their and the coaches realization was this= you are not good enough to play FBS football..even in the MAC!!! Believe it or not, some kids choose a school not because they play D1 football but because of other factors - outrageous I know - but it happens. I said that is my GUESS that they came to that realization. I am just looking at what I see. Not speaking in definites here. Ianello might win 7 games at Auburn just because he can recruit talent there. Doesn't make him a good coach or may be it does. How many quotes can be contained in a single post? It's like a literary Turducken. I'm thinking at least seven. A "double turducken wrapped in bacon" post? But if you order it with a diet Coke it looks like this. Now my heads spinning so fast,I think I'm gonna

He looks promising. We have one advantage in that UA has an excellent Engineering school.

His name is on the natatorium across the street.

Someone from the marketing department must at least occasionally read threads on Zipsnation. For the first time all season, the yellow car finally won the Sheetz remote control car race promo. The red car was undefeated, because every time the yellow car got to the cones, it went out of control and drove in circles. Game after game, it became obvious to anyone paying attention, that there was something wrong with the yellow car. It became a running joke in my seating section and here on ZNo. Why is this important you may ask? Its important because it points out the lack of professionalism by the athletic department and the people who run the events at the JAR. Just like CK points out, its not one thing that makes people hesitant to come to a Zips game, but a whole bunch of little things. An overall lack of attention to detail makes the game experience less than it could be. A paid master of ceremonies or cheerleader would be a good idea. I loved it when the Pep band director took things into his own hands to get the crowd pumped up Saturday night. He did the same thing at the football games this season with the roving pep band. Maybe they could get him to fill the position.

*Pssst*...don't tell anyone....but if he sent out that video, no one would take him, and he'd still be a Zip. Sorry, I didn't mean to include your message when I quoted Rootforoo44. Do you not agree that he is the best all around player on this years team?

Where in the @#$%#* were the students last night?

Hopefully it was an .avi of his dunk attempt against BG. You mean this one Why are you dissing the best player on our team?

Green Schools are not "in turmoil", but we are trying to pass a new levy. If the levy doesn't pass there will be some cuts of teaching positions. Tom Stacy is a Phys-ed teacher at the high school. Phys-ed is a required course, you have to take it in order to graduate. Most likely, the teaching positions that are eliminated will be for elective courses not required for graduation. He could possibly be bumped by someone with more tenure, but the other 2 phys-ed teachers currently have less tenure than Stacy. I guess its possible that Stacy mat want to get back into coaching at the collegiate level, but I haven't heard anything that would make me think that was true. Stacy has worked hard to improve Green's football program and the results of those labors are just starting to pay off. I would be surprised if he left, but anything is possible. I'll check around and see if there is any truth to this rumor and report back. ps; I find it humorous that every time I use spell check on a quoted post involving Zac, it wants me to change Zach's name to Schlep! Tom Stacy announced today, that he is resigning from his position at Green HS to accept a position at Ashland University. He will be rejoining his former mentor Lee Owens.

I thought you were an engineer. You should be in marketing.

You said if we win we'd have a bye period. Buffalo also had to lose to make it work. You are correct. I'm sorry .. maybe I missed something, but last night's win gives us a bye? Wow! Is the tournament this week? Zach said so, so it must be true. Title of thread; Replying to MAC Tourney If Today (Post-02/05/11 games)

Now that I've got that out of my system, I think its in the Zips best interest if the flushes knock off Miami. Now I need a drink.

We have been getting those open looks all season. The difference is that now we have started to make a better % of those shots. BG's extensive use of the zone defense plays right into our strength if we make the wide open looks it gives us. My dad always said that the MAC is a guard oriented league. If you have good guards who can shoot, your going to win alot of games in the MAC. The reason we lost in the championship game last year was because OU's guards were red hot from the 3 point line. Same reason those guys knocked off Georgetown. We have 5 guys who can shoot the trey. I hoping for a month long streak of lights out shooting.

Dials, Joyce, Travis, Middleton and Wood. Tell me which 2011 Zips starters would beat out any of that starting 5. Does that answer what type of season we SHOULD expect? Those guys won as many championships as this years team.

He played like one too! He was like a human wrecking ball when he was on the floor. I've never seen a guy who could get into another players head the way Bosley did.

Good showing by the Zips. One down and one to go. We need to follow this up with a solid win on Saturday against Ball State.

With four MAC home games left, its now or never for the Zips. With road games at Can't and at OU still on the schedule to finish out the season, this game is a must win if we are going to turn things around. Our inability to win on the road makes every home game a must win. I expect to see quite a bit of zone defense on Wednesday night. I hope it makes a difference.
