I had a chance to talk to Coach Peters at practice today. He is feeling as good as can be expected and really appreciates the prayers and support of all the fans. I could tell that he really misses being on the bench and helping the players at practice. He is a great example of what a positive attitude can do for you in all aspects of life. Even though he has been dealt a bad hand, he is very thankful for how his faith has let him live a joyful life. What an inspiration to me!

I doubt that either Jake or Reggie will play against UB Tuesday.

They really are trying everything they can think of to get more students to the games. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. Help Zippy Find Her Wallet

I hope Kretzer can get back to form soon. McAdams will have a much tougher time shaking off the rust. Going 7 for 15 from the three point line was huge last night.

This is an ignorant comment. What happened at that frat house has nothing to do with Akron Basketball. And to imply that the basketball program is troubled is equally dumb.

Edgars in west Akron is a really nice fine dining place. It's located at Good Park golf course in the upper level. They have a really good selection of smoked Appetizers and Entree's. My favorite is the smoked prime rib. They also have a really interesting Cuban Smoked Pork Platter appetizer. http://www.edgarsrestaurant.com/ They also have live entertainment several times a month.

Nice post.

I think Lynch is going to make a nice slot receiver in the Nfl.

I thought it was a good game. Both teams played hard and UB had just enough to beat the Zips on their home floor. I like our chances at home and on a neutral court with them.

If Melo and Evans play good we have a chance. I have a feeling Tree is going to be very motivated to play tonight against McCrea.

I know this is a fairly old article, but I think it says a lot about why some young athletes have trouble following the rules. I don't agree with everything the author Jason Whitlock says but the basic premise is right on target. Until we as a society put more value on preserving the family structure there will be further erosion and more misery. Whitlock argues that it is primarily the minority communities that suffer from this problem but I think it is a universal problem for all the poorer classes. "Hurricane Illegitimacy" I found this article while reading Whitlocks piece on the culture of the locker room of the MIami Dolphins and the Martin investigation. Martin walked into twisted world

I don't know of any suspensions for violating team rules that we have known about in the past. There have been suspensions for getting in trouble with the law(Tree's bar fight) and suspensions for messed up paperwork and suspensions for on campus incidents involving other students(Q), but those were matters of public record. I haven't seen anyone here tell you to stop rooting for the team but I am confused why you think it's so important to know what happened. Do you think it will be beneficial to Nick and the team to drag what ever he did around the internet so "he can learn his lesson"? I'm as big a fan of the program as anyone on this board and I don't like it that Nick got suspended either. Sometimes in life things don't go the way you want them to. In my experience the best course of action is to make the best of the situation and move on with a positive attitude.

I wouldn't be surprised if we add another player to step in at the PG position. A 5th year senior transfer who could play right away. I just don't see KD standing pat with what he currently has for next season at PG.

The reason no one is saying what caused the suspension is because it's nobody's business to tell. It's a private matter within the team. Just because a few Internet warriors think they have a right to know doesn't mean squat to the coaches and players. If the Internet warriors want to keep bloviating, have at it, but it's not going to change a thing.

If Deji moves his feet on defense tonight when he gets into the game, he will get some significant PT. If not, he will be back to riding the bench.

I doubt we would have to worry about him staying academically eligible. Seems like a good player.

Not much. KD is a no nonsense guy when it comes to following the rules. What Harney got suspended for, might not get him suspended from quite a few other MAC programs.

John was a really intelligent player. A good defender who didn't turn the ball over. Even then he was like a coach on the floor.

I think they hurt us worse by pushing the ball down the court in transition for easy layups. On more than one occasion after we made a basket, they inbounded the ball and drove the length of the court unopposed. We won the rebounding battle overall and they only had 11 offensive rebounds.

We did a lot better job of moving without the ball in the first half. In the second half there was too much of Evans and Q standing at the top of the key dribbling and then Tree trying to go one on three to make something happen.

WOW! Not the same player I've been watching.

I told you the problem was Internet Exploder. Nothing but bloat!

The scary part is that DIG really believes that is true!
