  1. You can check in but you can never leave.
  2. These various methods to determine rankings are schizophrenic. Akron is ranked #168 in SOS but we are #23 in SOS impact for our opponents.
  3. Looks like on YSU has shown any interest. It appears that he has been battling knee injuries for the last ysar and a half. http://www.neohiospotlight.com/news_article/show/747773?referrer_id=2399296#.WIJRMIiqvDg.twitter
  4. People who want that type of entertainment around here go to see the Cavs, Canton Charge or Rubberducks.
  5. I would guess that we had between 75-100 fans at the game. About 20% of total attendance in the arena.
  6. I repeat, The MAC does not have control over which games are played on Saturday vs Friday. The TV contracts they signed dictate the scheduling. The powers that be feel that the additional TV exposure is worth the hassle.
  7. I call BS on the "Police escort". I remember that game and it was fun. I wish our students would just show up at the home games let alone travel to the road games.
  8. There is still time to join your fellow Zips fans at the game Friday. http://www.gozips.com/zfund/events/2017/EMU_MBB_Bus_trip Men's Basketball Bus Trip to Eastern Michigan Travel with Akron men's basketball on the road this winter to Ypsilanti, Michigan to cheer on the Zips in their match-up against MAC rival, Eastern Michigan. ***PLEASE NOTE DATE CHANGE TO FRIDAY*** *** Date: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2017*** Game Time: 7:00 PM Bus Departure Time: 2:00 PM (Free parking will be available in the East Campus Parking Deck located on 188 Spicer St.) Departure Location: James A.

  9. He hadn't played in about 10 games.
  10. It's not Akrons call on when or what day game time is, complain to the MAC.
  11. Tom Brady, greatest NFL qb of all time!
  12. Gonzaga is a mid-major in name only. They are a private school with no football. They made a decision to spend the money to compete with the P-5 schools. They have their own private jet and a huge recruiting budget. They made basketball the #1 priority. Unless UA is willing to do the same, we are what we are. Maybe if we had built a $60 mil arena instead of a football stadium it could have happened but that ship has sailed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/2003/12/05/gonzaga-carves-out-a-basketball-dynasty/2354b720-5bc7-4e6f-a2eb-a0fb8362b2e9/?utm_term=.75b9946ece52 http://www.foxsports.com/college-basketball/story/gonzaga-bulldogs-mark-few-took-unique-path-to-sustained-success-031015
  13. Kwan is leading the team at 84% from the line. Antino is next at 80%. Jimond is at 75%. If you take out the one bad game (EMU) they are each a few points higher. Our ability to make free throws at the end of games is big reason why we are on a big winning streak.
  14. In late game situations we run an inbounds play for Antino every time. If he can't get open the next option is Kwan.
  15. Trying to compare scheduling for MSOC vs MBB is worthless.
  16. Cueing Jupitertoo in 3,2,1.....
  17. Think Kaminsky. Big guy who doesn't rebound or like to play under the basket. Not a great defender either.
  18. Any game that the reporter does not attend has a "Staff Report" byline. That is SOP in the news industry.
  19. You guys need to have a little more faith in the team. There was no yelling in the locker room, there was no panic in the huddle. Just before the start of the second half Keith told the guys to just play our game and get some stops and we will win. He was right.
  20. This one doesn't include Green card holders either.
  21. Denzel Washington?
