I don't see us dropping off that much at point guard. Everyone seems to agree Dials is more of a #2 and we have some good PG talent coming in. ND is a good leader but not exactly a consistent open-look shooter. Hopefully the new guys can progress steadily thru next season and be ready to make some noise in next year's tourney. Ced had his moments but 2.1 rebounds per game and 9.7 ppg should be replaceable. We'll obviously miss Wood's 18-24 ppg and rebounding. Most of the games we lost were due to offensive droughts so we need to improve the production a little without losing too much on defense.

CLEVELAND (AP)—Al Fisher's double-clutching 15-foot jumper with three seconds left gave Can't State a 49-47 win over Miami of Ohio, sending the top-seeded Golden flushes into the championship of the Mid-American Conference tournament Friday night. After Fisher's bucket, Can't State had to survive a last-second shot by Miami's Tim Pollitz, who was short on a runner in the lane as the horn sounded.

I wouldn't mind seeing neoucom move to akron to be near the hospitals and have UA take over the rootstown campus for undergrad classes (I'm sure Can't would be thrilled to have us in Portage Co.) Build a couple dorms out there for students who want to be out of the urban environment -- which would further erode the value of spicertown shacks making them easier/cheaper to acquire for redevelopment of the stadium district. The current med school consortium arrangement makes sense to me...I don't think we need to try to wrest control of it away from the others.

Good shooting performance guys...need one more of those on Saturday and we'll be

At least 1 of us does...I like the f.lashy (oops, did I say that?) new links to the gozips.com stories. Good job.

I think we're talking about the 2008 game at Kentucky being cancelled, not the 2009 Kentucky at Akron new stadium opener.

I know KD isn't the one out there shooting the ball but still he has to do something about it. Maybe they're working too hard and need to rest/relax a bit.

If J-Wood can go off for 23 again while they "key" on him, I'm all for it.Apparently 23 points from Wood is not enough for us to win. If the opponent keeps him under 30 they have a good chance to beat us.

Looks like they spent the day hauling away the snow Since this is the football forum I guess it's safe to say

Dials needs to trade some emotion for some shooting accuracy. Hitting 3 of 16 in a big game equals a loss. This team just doesn't have enough consistent scoring depth to help each other out. We'll see the same strategy at the Q...key on Wood and dare us to not stink it up from the outside.

If we would have played a few minutes in the 1st half it wouldn't have come down to all that drama at the end. It goes to show, though, never give up. If we could shoot the 3's consistently we would be unstoppable.

1 of 16 beyond the arc...I don't know if they're good open looks or not but still...

32-15 at halftime. Pass the aspirin, please...

Dials 0-7...vcu game part deux...24-11 Can't

19-6, 8 min. to go 1st half...Zips are sleepwalking and firing airballs

I gathered from a previous post that it's the coaches who feel the league is holding back the program. Maybe they feel they could recruit easier/better in a stronger league or grow attendance/revenue/donations. I didn't know a MAC school could just move one of its sports to another conference like that though...surely the league would have some say-so or could impose repercussions if they didn't approve(?)

The slumlords are not going to like this...it's going to reduce their property values, rents, and tenant counts.The rapists won't like it either...it will have more security than they're used to dealing with and be tougher to break into.

http://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/cleveland-state-university/student-life/crime/#\ Cleveland apparently wants to project its own problems onto others..

I think it would be nice to have a front page feature post on zn.o about Zippy's Capital One Bowl championship. Also, a link to the live stadium cams would be cool. Just a suggestion...not trying to make extra work for someone

There ought to be a way to build it big enough for graduations, big games, concerts, etc. and use partitions to make it smaller for most regular games. If we have a couple thousand graduating in the spring and they each bring some parents, siblings, grandparents, SO's, friends, etc. then 5,000 seats are not enough. Plus it would be nice to be able to host HS regionals, maybe a NCAA womens regional, maybe a Roadrunner Marathon event, maybe a NIHOF induction, concerts, etc. and have plenty of room. But then you could 'downsize' it and have the bandbox atmosphere for home games and especially televised games where you don't want a bunch of empty seats.

The MAC only has 6 soccer teams, one of which is Hartwick. If UA leaves it will be pretty weak. I wouldn't be surprised if BG or WMU drops mens soccer at some point since they also have hockey. Would UA womens soccer go to the other conference as well? $12M for a soccer stadium seems like a long shot at best. Are you saying they won't show the plans until they have funding? Is there room at Lee Jackson for a fancy facility or would it have to be somewhere else?

We shot .283 inside the 3 point line and .240 outside the line...that will get you beat no matter where you play. And many of the missed shots were wide open (as KD admitted) and many of them weren't even close. We have suddenly lost our home court mojo. VCU didn't shoot well either but started making some shots down the stretch...that was the difference. Like the Zips, they are good in their conference but not a real threat beyond the mid-major realm. Goaltending is when the shot is blocked on its downward trajectory, not on the way up or at the top of its arc. Because the ball slows down as it reaches the top of the arc people get confused and think it's coming down before it actually is. 4,000 was a good crowd for an early start against a team most people aren't very familiar with and the Rowdies got some good airtime.
