Nice story featured on ESPN.com: https://www.espn.com/gaming/story/_/id/47055178/dru-joyce-lebron-james-duquesne-akron

All the more reason to smash Duke and send them back to Durham with their butts hurt. That and 1986.

I like St. Louis's chances to beat #11 Bryant and give us a fourth round home game if we win.

#9 San Diego loses 2-1 to Grand Canyon. Insane day of upsets!

After UVA parked the bus on us in the final in 2009 and "won" on PKs after holding it 0-0 despite having very little possession or opportunities themselves, any day they lose on PKs is a holiday to me!

I recall it being the case before in which the NCAA chose the game day but left it up to the home team to schedule the start time within some reasonable window.

We get Duke at home.

Duke up 2-1 with 3 minutes left!!!!!

Duke ties it with 20' to go!!!

You say that then they get scored on.

Our favorite team, #13 UConn, gets past Cornell 3-1. I like their chances at a very tired #4 Maryland.

Washington eliminates #5 SMU.

And now #1 and defending National Champion Vermont is out, losing to Hofstra at home in OT.

Root against Bryant too. I'd love to have the winner of Seton Hall and St. Louis at home for a chance to go to the College Cup!

Indiana is out. They lose 1-0 at home to St. Louis.

8-3-5 (W-L-T) all-time against ND. We owe them one from the 2002 NCAAT 3-1 loss they gave us in Indiana. I like the symmetry in a 3-1 win today at home. Zips come prepared and dominate.

Under KD we beat both Temple and Florida State in the post-season NIT, but in different seasons. I do not know the years though. In the Iona preview on gozips.com there is an excellent history of MBB's performance in mid-season tournaments. To my surprise, we have won several. It is under the "Regular Season Tournaments" heading. https://gozips.com/news/2025/11/20/mens-basketball-zips-begin-paradise-jam-with-iona-on-friday

That's a completely different scenario in which academics were the priority, and it was pre-NIL. It was also about one in a million that it happened at Akron. Nice story nonetheless.

"...many new faces who are eager to join the Akron Zips footbal program in pursuit of a...University of Akron degree" WHAT?!?! How many players will be joining with intentions of staying four years and earning a degree? They are after the money, the opportunity to perform with field time and prove they belong at a higher level, and ultimately chase the dream of playing in the NFL. Do any guys sign with a program out of high school with intent of being there four years and earning a degree? In football and men's basketball, the days of "student-athletes" are over. I'd be surprised if that the percentage of those who stay for all four years of eligibility and graduate is over 20%. Does anyone have numbers on that outcom?

How are you watching? Via what service?

Bring on Notre Dame! The only way that outcome could have been better was had they gone to overtime.

For many years, I have thought about the same thing on billboards in and around Columbus trolling the brainwashed OSUcks zombies about our men's soccer program being the best in the state of Ohio.

I was very happy to see this. While it is VERY hard for one excellent team to beat another three times in one season, I think UConn has our number. I would be okay with an all Big East revenge final though! 😆

Honestly, I don't think we should. That's close enough that the head-to-head results should be the dominant factor.

We got called for a foul when boxing out at least once...seriously, that's not an exaggeration.
