Yes he is your best shooter other than goddard but for those who play yes he is. His defense great? look at the numbers since you know them all too and look at who leads the other team in scoring? You will find that it is the shooting guard most of the time. You mistake his great effort with great defense. He plays with great effort but little defense

Bubba saw the truth and everyone always thought he was wrong about it. He always sticks with Dials no matter what, he cost you the toledo game last year, now a chance to get some exposure on espn2. Good Luck against gardner webb

I think Bubba saw the writing on the wall.Did you see what happened to Peterson? Why wouldnt that have happened to Walther? He said Dambrot had his "guys" and I think we all saw it last night that Dambrot definetly plays favorites.Dials was terrible and Ced was playing well until the end.But why in the hell is Dials on the floor instead of DP when hes the only person that toledo couldnt guard? That explains it.As much as you guys ripped on Bubba for leaving I think he saw it coming.I think its hilarious how the truth is coming out just by 1 performance in the MAC tourney but Walther called it and everyone thought he was lying and full of it.

You lost because of bad coaching.(Peterson on the bench).Terrible guard play. Defensively dials and joyce couldnt keep anyone in front of them. Poor free throw shooting. No one could put it in the whole either. And just like every time the games close Dru Joyce decides to play the hero. Good season, a tough way to lose, but Keith before you want to be in the same sentence as Gonzaga, beat someone away from the JAR

Well you all know I am a friend and a fan of Bubba's. And i remember this summer when talking to him about the season he mentioned that last year at the Buffalo shoot around coach dambrot coming up to him and asking him if he would mind if Ced started since he was playing his brother.Bubba wasnt complaining about it at all hes real good friends with Ced and he didnt mind but that answers your question on why he started him. Ced has def. earned it too. I remember Quade Milum not playing hardly at all last year and then they played Dayton and he played 10-15 min. But Bubba was not saying that in a negative way about the starting thing so before you go and jump all over that keep that in mind. Good luck against Can't.

Mount st. mary's? there not good at all. and yes miss. st. is a team in the sec but theyre doing very bad plus it wasnt a road game it was nuetral. Do you guys agree to take that next step you need to win that big road game? or is 20 wins enough? i think 20 wins is a great accomplishment but I think they need that big road win what do you think?

Congrats on that 20 win season you guys have really improved in the past two years obviously.But I believe a real mark of your improvement would be a big road victory. Who has Akron beat thats very good on the road this year? The closest is Western but theyre an up and down team so answer my question please.

Hes not overrated because hes not hyped up. hes not underrated either but you could be using him right now.Dials is the 1 overrated. 25-30 min. a game and he doesnt do hardly anything. everyone talks about how good his defense is look at who scores for the other team. Oh is it there two guard? i believe so. everygame its like that except for the BG game that was good D on samarco.But your right Walther is no good hes the worst player ever isnt he? he was all freshman team, and last year in games when he played over 25 min. he did alot more than dials does.But the main topic is tired guards and they are def. wearing down and the scouting report is out on middleton and he doesnt know the game well enough to do anything else. Your 5'10 guards are wearing down and keith didnt learn his lesson from last year when he played dru so much and he sucked at the end of last year just like this year.

The statistics alone prove that they are tired. Joyce and Dials have been pretty bad from the field the last 4-5 games.Walther could be used now couldnt he? And you guys are so happy that hes gone.Well remember when you guys are trying to win the MAC title in 3 games in 3 days and your missing your missing your 4th leading scorer and hes on the ohio bench waiting to put it to you the next 2 years.

The reason Zach and DP dont play is because KD has promises to Dru and Dials and that he doesnt want Ced to leave because he knows Ced isnt happy with his minutes. I bash Akron alot but trust me on this a very very close source to the Akron team has told me that KD is very favored toward certain players. Why dont you think Wood is happy with things and chose to redshirt?You might think I'm crazy with all of this but I am very close to someone who knows alot about your program and they have told me everything that goes on.Why didnt Dru practice the past 2 weeks last year but started every game? Why is DP's back hurt on the road but not at home? How does Romeo Travis quit the team the day before a game last year and come back and be the first one off the bench? huh? I have stories that none of you Akron fans will ever know. Haha.Your little coach isnt as straight forward as he seems

Lets not make any excuses for the zips tonight. They went out to Cal earlier in the year and got beat by 14. According to my geography california is farther than nevada and they are def. better than nevada.Yet you get blown out by 27.And romeo played this game rather than at cal when leon powe ate him alive.Yes your guards are wearing down. Too many minutes per game. You dont have anyone behind them i know that but you could have had walther still and he would have spelled your guards. Im not just talking about tonight but just like last year when joyce wore down in the last five games of the year hes doing it again. Oh keith didnt you learn from last year playing him that much per game would wear on him.And nick dials has been god awful from the field as of late too. Maybe his knee and his body are giving out yea hes a tough kid but physically he cant keep quick guards in front of him with that knee.All he does is get up in you when you catch it and then once you start to dribble your past him. Cedrick is playing good ever since walther left but hes still not the threat walther was.One question i have to ask though.Why didnt darryl peterson play much tonight?

no you are right he is an absolute stud.im just saying that your players have been acting pretty cocky with there remarks in some interviews and then to get embarrased like this is pretty bad.nevada is pretty darn good they would beat anybody in the mac like this well at least on a night like tonight.im a romeo travis fan myself but for him to make the comments hes made and to get killed like he has tonight doesnt make him self look good. dru is playing bad, and hes in foul trouble and dials hasnt been playing well either he got hot for a quick second. i think your guards are wearing down as this season goes on. the other night neither of the guards played that well they just get free throws thats how theyve been scoring.i do hope they come back and make it a game though.

this is not a cheap shot at akron but you guys havent done anything as far as a mac championship or a tourney appearance and your players act very cocky. you guys are having a very good season but when you get embarrased like you are now your guys might want to chill out with the old guaruntees like romeo has made.Can you say a$$ wooooooopin for the zips? Miami's got you next

the curse? yea thats it. didnt he win a state title and were ranked top 10 in the country his senior year? and helped you win 19 games last year? yea hes a curse. get over him leaving hes happy at ohio it seems and you are still winning everyside is happy except a bum like you.what did he have to do with fears leaving?oh wait he was the personal reason wasnt he?

Actually I don't go to Ohio, I go to Bowling Green but the game was on ONN so I was able to see it.Bowling Green sucks and my brother goes to OU so I follow them. Give the ball to your best player instead of having a 5'10 guy shooting floaters in the lane.Thats bad coaching genious.And Ohio did not play good tonight. They had 18 turnovers and missed 11 free throws. Let me guess that means they played well. They spotted you 10 points and you couldn't win.I say overrated because I think Ohio, Miami, and Can't are better than you guys.The east is loaded 4th in this league is good though I really mean that.Yea you will say oh wait miami has 2 losses, yea they do but theyre better than you guys still they lost to Can't tonight.Ohio is definitley more talented than anyone in the league.Your own coach said that so you're going to disagree with him on that 1?Anyways you guys talked about how youre going to beat Ohio like you did last year but then when it happens you go and hide and say it was ok nobody expected you to win. How was my grammar?

notice that i said dials and middleton sucked.your telling me they play good? and why did you copy my post and reply with nothing that i said? i watched it on t.v. and ohios worst crowds are better than your Can't st. games thats how well of supporters you are. where was your 100 little students? didnt see them on the camera tonight. they must have been so rowdie that the camera forgot about them. your all a bunch of jokes oh its okay now that we lost a game? your team folded down the stretch, didnt go to your best player, and remember that last year you thumped ohio down there i recall, wasnt walther your leading scorer? now hes gone and you lose hmmmm. maybe theres something tied into that 1. dials and middleton suck thats what i pick up from seeing a guard playing 30 somethin minutes and getting seven points.middleton gets 5 points in 21 min. and davis, fears, jackson, and green all score more than that. wheres these 2 guards great lockdown defense that they got once walther left? ohio is better than you guys and theyre better than everyone in the league they played bad tonight and still beat you. you guys played pretty darn well except for your shooting guards.

Im so happy you guys got rid of the walther kid. you couldnt have used him tonight when your 5'10 guards couldnt do anything against athletic players. dials and middleton sucked period.youre telling me you would rather have that kid on your team please. akron is overrated and you guards will be your downfall, your playing a walk on and every guard you have is 5'10 and you lost an all mac feshman team member to the team that beat you tonight. and why doesnt your great coach get the ball to the best player in this league? poor coaching and poor guard play leads to losses in the mac.

Ok i am a mac basketball fan and i go to bowling green and ive been curious to see how akron people have responded to the Walther kid leaving.I see that you are not taking it well and are bashing the kid for leaving and going to the best team in this conference.I just want to know why u guys dont appreciate a kid who helped you win 19 games this year and five this year? the kid made the all mac freshman team, lit my falcons up for 15 last year and hit a ton of big shots during that game. i see his stats and he was averaging more points assists rebounds and steals in less time. while the dials kid is logging all of these minutes and had not done anything to help the akron basketball program other than being on the practice squad. now i saw the dials kid play in high school at willard when they came up here and i thought he was a good player and he def. is but what about when his knee goes out like it already is and he is limping around like a 60 year old man out there are you going to wish you still had bubba then? i agree the dorms comment was an excuse but he mentioned the playing time and honestly i dont blame him. the kid was getting screwed and he said he thought about it last year so do you think dambrot knew and maybe told him a line of b.s.? anyways zip fans you all are know it alls on this message board a and nd i find it odd that the best team in the league would gladly have him but hes not good enough for akron?please and i know my falcons could use him. Stop bashing the kid for making the best decision for himself.show some classGo MAC!!!!
