We have a much bigger need for another big center. If we add another guy it probably won't be a guard.

We offered Graves.

Because the underlying strategy of the whole game was which on of those big guys was going to win the battle of position in the paint. That battle started at about the 3 point line on every possession . That is why BD was upset at the call.

Lower level is sold out to season ticket holders.

Both players had been hammering on each other the entire game. Your guy was body slamming our guy every time he tried to take a move to the basket. That push was hardly over the top. I know what BD said to the ref and it was very benign, no profanity. A good official would have just let it go.

Having had the advantage of actually attending the game and having a front row seat I would object to the idea that Big Dog and Kwan did not show any leadership during the last 8 minutes of the game. In the timeout huddles BD and Kwan were both very vocal in trying to pump up the other players. The facts are that Gonzaga is ranked in the top 10 for a reason and it took them 32-35 minutes to finally use the advantages of athleticism and home court to finally get the upper hand on the Zips. Gonzaga has the best home court wining % of all D-1 programs at 92%(164-14) . Their ability to guard BD one on one and deny him the ball anywhere near the basket was the main factor in the game. This allows their guards to cover the entire court without having to sag down for help around the basket. The size and athleticism of their guards makes it very difficult to penetrate and when it does happen there is a 7' rim protector waiting. Every single Gonzaga fan said the Zips were easily the best opponent their team had played at home in quite a while. Zags pull away late to defeat Akron

You can get treatment for that.

Did you listen to KD's postgame interview ? E didn't even pick up a basketball until the 10th grade. Since he arrived here last year he has put on 20lbs and they hope to put 20 more on him in the next 2 years. I think he has more offensive potential than you do but only time will tell.

Olajepoke's nickname is E or E-man, not Poke. Just sayin.

That works. Thanks

Maybe this upgrade will fix the issue I am having with the using the qoute button with chrome on my android device. once I use it, the same qoute comes up again every time I try to make a new response in any thread. I can delete the content in the qoute but the box remains.

You realize that promo is from the womens schedule. 200 vouchers should cover about everyone in attendance.

I was there and I resent your insinuating that I am old .

I asked KD about it and he is not concerned.

You should stick to the football forum.

Just had lunch with Matt, Jacob and a few other Zips fans here in Omaha. I can tell you he is totally committed to do whatever he can to make sure our athletic programs prosper. Great guy.

The only thing preventing Utomi from getting more minutes is his inability to guard his man. If he wants to play he needs to up his game on defense.

I thought I might brighten up this conversation.

The purpose of the tournaments is to bring people to the area to spend money as tourists during a slow time for tourism. Iwould estimate there were several hundred Zips fans in attendance tonight. Probably 1500 or so Mercer fans. The early games probably had similar numbers.

The correct ruling after the inadvertant whistle should have been a jump ball. The possession arow would have given Akron the ball. Instead the refs gave Mercer the timeout and on the inbounds play Noah stole the ball. The Mercer contingent thought a foul should have been called and stormed off the court in a huff.
