Captain Kangaroo

I want to create an "All Pork Chop-n-Paella Point Guard" team. Can someone go to statsheet.com and compare the statistics of Rumeal Robinson, Baron Davis, Kahlid El Amin and Pearl Washington to Abreu?

Why can't McAdams (can make a 3, solid on D, can dribble) or Chauncey (skill set well-known) take all of Walsh's minutes?

And the extra point splits the uprights...48-3.

Memphis 25 Houston 19 6:20 mark of the 1st half

Score one for Z.I.P.

Too bad you're playing the Zips, and not Ohio State.

If true, certainly a bummer. Guess we'll see how well Chauncey's healed-up? NDSU is missing their top scorer, so I doubt they're shedding any tears for us. Unfortunately, it evens the playing field.

It's like an Ianello halftime deficit.

Continuing my assaut on Lady Zips' hoops - I saw in the PD that the Zips recently beat BGSU, cutting the all-time series deficit to 47-3. THAT'S amazing.

"Will Ohio U’s excellent showing in last year’s NCAA Tourney give more credence to the MAC, despite a relatively down here for the conference overall? Or will some lackey’s boneheaded filing mistake eventually play a vital role in a magical Zips season going up in smoke?" "Lackey?" "Bonehead?" Harsh words for Wistercill.

Man, you are perceptive.

He looks like Harney's twin (on his JAR banner).

Funny how the Zips and K.e.n.t women's teams have switched places (from 8-or-so years ago). I saw STO promoting their televised game this coming Saturday. Lady Zips should win by around 38?

Thanks, Dr. Z! It is great to see SI giving the MAC so much love. Here's another MAC star featured in the upcoming SI swimsuit issue:

In fairness to Bob Huggins - His seniors won 85 games. But they only played 117 (no post-season tourneys as an Independent cost them their shot at 90). By comparison, the 2009-10 seniors won 98 games, but played a whopping 140. Different eras.

Ask Romeo Travis if he could fathom it.

Iona did not do us midmajors any favors when they bowed out in Round #1 last year (gagged on a 25-point lead). Had Iona advanced a round or two, maybe the committee would be more apt to throw us a bone in 2013. Hopefully, we won't need it. I Trust in Tree.

Off the top of my head, Huggins' Zips lost (NIT).

Only DIG could turn a 2-to-3 character response into 357. And still not answer the question.

SOS...RPI...it's all BS. The facts are well-stated. Tell me DIG - Do the 2012-13 Zips play a significantly more difficult schedule (per Zach) than Drexel played in 2011-12? Yes or no? I eagerly await what will be the shortest DIG post in history. Three or two characters. That's it.

No one cared about a watching a Hipsher-esque level BG squad. And while the bobble heads helped, over 5k stayed to watch the game (not grab their toy and run). The bandwagon is essentially full. The opponent doesn't matter. Expect another 5k+ crowd Friday night. Thanks to the team and staff for turning games against even the most mundane opponent into an electric evening. Congrats to Brad Swanson for his Marketing efforts. The perfect storm is brewing as we speak. It will be a fun ride to the MAC finals.

I will type the following for the benefit of those wondering: "Are people from Akron really that ignorant regarding college basketball?" No. There are some who really do know what they're talking about. They just seem to get drowned-out by the din of the clueless. The 2011-12 CAA was a much better conference than the 2012-13 MAC. Drexel beat a 22-win ODU team, twice. Drexel beat a 20-win Princeton team. Drexel beat VCU Drexel beat Cleveland State (whom the Zips could not beat in 2011-12). If you dismiss Drexel's parallels to the 2011-12 Zips, you have no clue. If you dismiss making the CAA finals as some cake walk, you have no clue. If you dismiss beating VCU in 2011-12 you have no clue.

I would contend he is in good enough shape to play the handful of minutes he's getting. Harney's improved play is eating into Chauncey's minutes. Was the final shot of the 2nd half a contributing factor to Chauncey's limited 2nd half minutes? Or did Walsh fall asleep at the wheel? I couldn't tell.

5 years ago I won a seat behind the bench for the Zips/K.e.n.t game (Golf Outing Auction). My son and I also got to sit in the locker room for the post-game and halftime. Cameron Black was being recruited by UA, and stood next to us in the Zips locker room. Word on the street was - Cam didn't want to play 2nd fiddle to Zeke, so he ultimately chose BG. If true, I wonder if he regrets it?

Conundrum of the century...if that game happens, which side of the arena do the bulk of the Akron students sit? Which red shirt do they wear?
