2024 Off-Season CBB Tracker & Discussion

If I were a college coach I'd quit the business and sell insurance. -
2024 Off-Season CBB Tracker & Discussion
Captain Kangaroo replied to Let'sGoZips94's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
It will be, until UMass gets here. Worst case, their addition is like adding another "Akron" to the upper-tier MAC basketball mix. -
Garrison was Mc Neese’s regular kicker last season. 8-10 fig’s and 23-23 pats. Hit at least 1 50 yarder. McNeese was 1-10 last season.

2024 Post Mortem and Looking Ahead to 2025.
Captain Kangaroo replied to mrelegazna's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
When Dambrot left the Zips, I and a few others said - It's easier to win the MAC than to finish in the Top 4 in the A-10. Looks like UMass figured it out. They will be the MAC favorite when they arrive. The road to Pittsburgh or wherever else the NCAA Round 1's are held in the future just got a lot more difficult for the legacy MAC schools. If Western Kentucky comes next, look out. Who will come to a Rocket Mortgage Field House MAC final to watch UMass vs. the Hilloppers? I bet even Hilltopper wouldn't go. -
NCAA Tournament- Creighton
Captain Kangaroo replied to clarkwgriswold's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
Gandy Dancer Saloon in Station Square. Sounds like a strip club? -
Butler was in Cleveland State's conference for 20 years, through 2012. Creighton was in the Missouri Valley through 2013. They moved to the Big East. Garvin Clarke plays the five. I rest my case.
-
If you believe the A-10 is a major basketball conference, Loyola Chicago just moved up last year.
-
Good thing you weren't the AD at Butler or Creighton.

NCAA Tournament- Creighton

No $50/ticket Cheat Geek fees either. Good for you, hairs of blue. -
An argument could be made that Oates was better. Maybe Hurley too?

NCAA Tournament- Creighton
Captain Kangaroo replied to clarkwgriswold's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
I got section 109. $145 per ticket after fees. Got a $27 parking pass too. 4 times I had tickets selected and at the very end of the transaction I got a “tickets no longer available “ message. Bastards. See you Thursday. Hope the blue hairs represent in the Primo seats! -
NCAA Tournament- Creighton

Creighton Message Board -
I watched Clyde Price inexplicably lay two balls on the turf to cost Zips football a couple wins two seasons ago, so I have no problem accepting an inexplicable basketball win. The Zips were overdue to catch a break! I was shocked when they gave Ali the offensive potg. Tribble eats and drinks for free wherever I go for life after draining those 2 free throws. If those were his only 2 points it was enough to give him offensive potg.

Keeping up with Keith (Dambrot)
Captain Kangaroo replied to dirtyolcrowe's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
I go with the immortal Brian Wood. I remember NBA long-timer Antonio Daniels (BGSU) draining a baseline three over Wood's extended arm to send us home. -
Tremendous overcoming of adversity by the Zips. I had an absolute blast tonight. Can’t wait until tomorrow night. The key to the game is - Enrique getting any help. If we get multiple offensive contributors we’re dancing next week. Foul call #3 on Ali merits an investigation. If never seen a more egregious whistle in my life. F Kent!

What is the solution and is it fixable?
Captain Kangaroo replied to 1981 grad's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
To be fair, he did hit the rim on a couple. Great in warm ups…hit 7 of 11 against Heidelberg…but other than that it’s been a maddening season for him. -
The G.O.A.T. and 4 intramural guys. That’s what we’ve looked like for far too long.
-
A combined 7-55. Whoa nellie. How is it possible?

I’m with you. -
Going back a ways...Eric McLaughlin had a tremendous freshman season. I think Robotham did well in his Freshman season too.

Nice redemptive season for KD. They’ve played really well since Grant returned. Next game will be a lot tougher for them. -
Game 31- Western Michigan
Captain Kangaroo replied to clarkwgriswold's topic in Akron Zips Basketball
Isn't he a Junior? I think at this point, he is what he is. -
He leaves his feet too willingly to block shots. I think some teams are on to it. Groce also needs to spell him at the right times. Last game he had one personal foul with about 30 seconds remaining in the first half, and Groce didn't sub him out. He immediately got his second foul. And, if I recall correctly, almost got a 3rd foul (offensive) before the buzzer.

Bought my Thursday ticket using the ARIZZOMAC2024 code. $19 after taxes for the cheapest one, which is fine because I can sit anywhere I'd like. Not a bad deal to watch 4 D1 tournament basketball games. Parking voucher is available for $16 (after taxes). I got one of them too (garage on Huron). No bad for downtown parking . The UMass folks will love our affordable tournament. 🙂
