Together, CK and B&G nailed it! Joe Akron has no local pride or interest whatsoever and even goes out of his way from discouraging those around him to have any as well. In many cases, he is a Scarlet and Grey zombie yet has never attended the institution that is south on I-71.

A great read, Watcher. And I agree, this team is scary good. What you said about the rotation and how it relates to MAC-level opponents is spot on! No other team has the depth to compete for a full 40 minutes on a consistent basis. We will likely lose a few more conference games the rest of the way, but I expect us to have the best record in the conference at the end of the regular season. I also expect this group to get our first NCAA Tournament win(s) in the next couple years. There has never been a more exciting time to be a Zips basketball fan or a Zips fan in general.

And we beat Ohio head-to-head. And Ball State lost to EMU.

Spreadsheets can be fun.

Apparently though, DiG, it's not exactly a 20 minute rule, but rather a magic number on sliding scale determined pre-game by CK. Sounds like something GP1 would dream up as a testament to his greatness. I expect an ongoing spreadsheet type tally of this as the season progresses, CK.

I would love for you to continue this prediction modality throughout the rest of the season to see how it plays out. Ready, go!

Your prediction stands as accurate, CK. However, as DiG points out, it was a subpar night for Harney, and I don't think playing him another 4+ minutes would have given us the win. This should be a multi-variate analysis.

We lose in Buffalo every year. Disappointing, but oh well. ...on to Can't! After getting waxed by 30 tonight, they will be ready for us.

And then the Canadians hit a deep three with a defender in his face with a ton of time left on the shot clock. Of course he couldn't have missed that one. We lost the game on that play and the ensuing offensive possession.

Good possession to cut the lead to three. Good ball movement and really made the Canadians work on defense. Tired legs helps us on the other end too. I think we can pull this out.

Agree 100%! How can we play aggressive defense when every minor touch is a foul? And is it just me or are the Canadians shooting especially well from the field and line?

Way to go, Nitro. The Canadians haven't cooled off with their outside shooting though.

I am not giving up yet. If we start playing like we now how and the Canadians actually cool off from outside, we have a decent shot. And I used to be the one who gave up at this point. I just wish we had more than three players who showed up on offense tonight. Treadwell and McClanahan should be on the bench the wrest of the game...ice cold.

I think the Canadians are gonna let us back in this one. I think we'll play a better second half too.

Especially when many of the baskets are from uncontested layups and on second chances. The Canadians aren't this good. We are making them look much better than they are.

We need to cut this lead to one possession before half time.

Ironically, Zeke is having one of the better offensive games I have seen of him and one of the worst defensively. I spoke too soon...two missed FT's.

Our defense has gone LIMP the past 7-8 minutes. Diggs is keeping us in this one at the other end.

As a whole, we are playing well enough to win. I would expect us to extend a lead in the second half as the Canadians get tired because they aren't nearly as deep as we are. We are shooting the three really well thus far.

He is the biggest homer ever. Why do you have to grow to like him? Quite often, he is what makes watching/listening to the Zips tolerable. Thankfully, it is basketball season.

The MAC and 1350 feeds are perfectly in sync. Watching online while listening to Frenchy. I love it!

Amen. It's February...couldn't be further from soccer season with a good basketball team, and we have fans commenting on our goalie's beard! We have the best soccer fans in the country, hands down! ZNO rules!

Just ask the Houston Texans. I'm sure the trend is even more exaggerated on the road in the playoffs. They win that game yesterday easily without all the interceptions!

Is this available to watch online? I'm OOA (out of Akron ).

Can you say bulletin board material?!
