Yes, without a doubt, we got screwed by the NCAA and NIT selection committees.The best thing we as fans can do is call into national shows and state our case. Call JT The Brick tomorrow night on Gametime React. He is on 100+ stations across the country and in every major city.http://msn.foxsports.com/story/865321Listen to other callers to get a handle and then state our case and give UA and the men's basketball team the positive national exposure they deserve!

I hope AntonioGates isn't reading this and laughing! This is bad for K.E.N.T and reflects poorly on the conference as a whole.

... ...I doubt it! I think we just got royally screwed.If this continues to happen year in and year out, will we be able to hang on to KD? If he wants a shot at coaching a real perineal national level team, he might have to leave the conference.

I can't believe this! How did we get selected last year, but not this year? WTF?We lost a total of 7 games all year by a combined 21 points. If that's not good enough, I don't know what is!Not to mention we lost last night on a terribly lucky play by Miami and the team handled it with total class!Everyone else will have a chance next year (including the fans, KD, and most of the team). I truly feel bad now for Dru and Rome. You guys are great!

nectek can't be from Can't State...that was a classy post. Thanks for the respect!

I live in Pittsburgh and am listening on www.1350radiofreeohio.com, but I'd rather be watching it!How do you watch it from ESPN on the computer?

1350 has had the most recent games broadcast over the internet for free although they say they don't broadcast UA athletics. All you have to do is make an account on their website.Do a google search for "1350 Akron".

I take that back. Missouri State is a strong candidate as the MVC is a very strong conference.

I tried to keep in mind that there are only four remaining spots. My four votes went to UA, Drexel, UMass, and Old Dominion.I know, I seem biased towards the mid-major, but I think the Big 10 is over-rated with the exception of OSU, Wisconsin, and Indiana. All four of the teams I voted for could beat Illinois and Michigan.Other than Illinois and Michigan, I don't think there should be much argument with regard to the strongest six candidate schools.I think this list of 23 should be narrowed to the six I just described.

Amen!

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/rankingsindexThe new ESPN/USA Today Poll is out and we didn't receive any votes. We had 7 votes last week and have won two big road games since then. WTF? How is that possible when we've won 23 games against D-I competition?Once again and just like the football and men's soccer teams in recent years, we seem to be getting screwed.

It drives me crazy when we are referred to as Akron University (as was done in the article)!...it's the University of Akron!Imagine Cincinnatti University instead of the University of Cincinnatti. How terrible does that sound?We must continue to climb all over others when they make this error for the sake of branding our university. Doing so is imperative to our perception at the national level.

The four seed means we wouldn't face Can't until the final if both teams made it that far. I think we could beat Toledo on a neutral court. I like the four seed myself...playing the rival school for the right to go to the NCAA Tournament...it doesn't get any better than that...especially if we win!However, I'm all about seeing us win out and having momentum.

Good pick-up, but another user has already posted this same link. Thanks anyhow.

Damn it!...We just can't seem to win the big road game!

Why are our players trying to win the game on one 3-point shot?...Just get the ball back into Wood!

I agree

We need this big road win!...We have to be able to win tough games on the road when we don't play our best...we're yet to do that this season...something a selection committee would definitely notice.

Nice!...Make these two and tough defense!

Get it inside to Wood!

Here we go!!!...
