Anything, anybody? My gametracker hasn't updated since end of regulation.

End of regulation. Akron 1 Creighton 1.

88:02 Caldwell hits Creighton's crossbar. Stevenson follows it up, high... Let's get this done, Akron.

Creighton goal 83rd minute, Timo Pitter. 1-1. Come on Zips!

Maryland leads Coastal Carolina 2-1 35th minute. Fairleigh Dickinson, UNC scoreless 38 minutes in.

Forty-five minutes played. Akron 1 Creighton 0. 9-5 Akron in Shots. Each team has one shot on goal. One save for Meves.

Twenty-fifth minute, still 1-0 per NCAA's so-called gametracker. Is there a full CBS type available? If anyone has one, plz send a link. Mahalo from HI. Edit: 36th minute. 1-0 Akron. Shots are 7-2 for Akron.

In about 45 minutes the Nobody Silverswords play the North Carolina Tar Heels for third place. Good luck to Mike Green and his teammates. I'm lookiing for DeAndre Haskins to be on the All-Tournament Team in any case. He can flat out play.

Only one (1) thing wrong with your theory Z5. The Soviet players may have been AS GOOD as Western professional hockey players, but they were paid like mere pawn/subjects of the Soviet state. That was the case with amateur athletes in Communist bloc nations for decades. So, while you may argue their amateur status was nominal or technical at best, it did in fact meet the standards of international amateur competition. I remember the times very well. The criticism from within the USA was mostly from people who wanted US amateur athletes to be able to compete with foreign (including Western European and other) amateurs who were subsidized by their governments, but were mostly opposed to the USA subsidizing our athletes in the same manner. Then along came the defiler of amateurism and international competition, Juan Antonio Samaranch to install a for-profit Olympic movement and an end to true amateurism in international athletics. He and that movement are the reason why I haven't paid attention to most Olympic competitions since the 1970s. There are a few events in teh Winter Olympics I still enjoy, but they too have been professionalized/bastardized for the most part.

Thanks to GoZips for the update. I'm afraid this will dampen coach Bovaird's day on Maui, as he will be cc'd. I have yet to make it to Maui for this event. At least they have been able to put in AC to make it a more breathable three days at Lahaina Civic. I did however view the Silverswords knock off an ACC team on their home gym court in the early 90s. I believe it was Maryland, however I also recall Vinny Del Negro being on the floor, and he played for NC State. Did Md have a tall Italian guard? -- and don't say Marc Iavarroni! That was 15 yrs earlier.

Akron's secret weapon: We own the Hawaiian Standard Time zone!

take it from Tech alum Andy Landers, longtime Georgia Bulldogs' mentor. Nope.

EARLY? I bet no one else got up at 5 a.m. dark to watch such a mish-mash of bad offense and poor strategy by two teams. Pardon me, I'm going to have to nap through lunch now.

I just LOVE to read the comments, including: Bisbee says: November 14, 2012 at 6:15 PM Akron has an added incentive to win it all….a big F…You to the committee

Well! Isn't that interesting -- not one of them picked The University of Connecticut.

A victory in Cookeville, Tennessee may not elicit more than a nod from even most real fans of Akron's women's basketball, but the opponent, Tennessee Tech is actually one of the traditional powers of mid-major women's hoops. I'll bet they've been to the NCAA tournament more times than any MAC or just about any mid-major conference school -- and they've sprung many upsets over ranked teams over the years. For Akron to gain the first series win on the road says a lot about this year's version of the team. The squad has a LOT of weapons. I'm looking for a post-season experience for Akron Women's Hoops in 2013.

Yeah! At least when we had to play at Northwestern for no good reason, they let us call it a home game.

I think he was actually referring to the SSFC - Real SL game. Sounders learned the hard way about MLS playoffs. Bring your best game, or don't show up -- especially vs LA Gal.

FYI: I wrote Maori, not midget. Maori all-stars ranged from about 6-3 to 6-8. Guards were big and relatively athletic. Scored a lot off the dribble. Their posts were slow, was their undoing. OTOH Chaminade has only one player over 6-6.

So, if someone at the university brought this to the NCAA's recognition, were they doing the program a favor? Looks to me like the compliance office has egg, sunny-side-up on their faces.
