The stats show 7 total techs (4 on us)! Where were all the others? Or is it an error?
-
Is this in hand? Can I go to work now?

You see that guy in the seats up above? I was three times as far from the court the time Hipsher had me thrown out for watching practice! lol

What's the deal for remote viewing for those across the Pacific Ocean? It's a 7 a.m. game here. Starts while I'm in traffic. Schedule shows something called "Spectrum Sports", but the link was wacky. No Gametracker shown. So, provided we DO win, when do we play Friday, and is it on ESPN? CBSCS?

The icy hand of Mike Thomas claims it's first victim...
Do you think he signed up for the CSU gig to keep the status quo? I expect a "splash" hire at CSU in the near future.
WOW! I'm sure I'm not the only one who hadn't heard!! https://www.campuspressbox.com/2017/cleveland-state-throws-curve-tabs-mike-thomas-ad/

During last night's ESPN2 broadcast, the color commentator mentioned the name of the person who is apparently Akron basketball's "conduit" for Houston high school basketball recruiting -- Dan Robinson. I Googled during the game and found one blog post apparently written by someone by that name about the Houston hoops scene. He has a relationship with Charles Thomas. I had long wondered how the Houston pipeline was established in the first place, and the only connection I had ever found was the women's bb coach at one of the HS's that we recruit (Cypress Springs, maybe) was a former KSU player. Anyone out there know more about our connection?

Oh, my goodness! May Fred Thomas be blessed in his passage. Fred was deeply committed to those things he believed passionately about -- Zips hoops and those players and staff associated with it. This hits me hard, since Fred was my steadiest contact in the Land of the Zips before this bulletin board came into being. We fell out over politics -- which was not surprising and did not stop our friendship. I had occasional texts or messages from Fred as recently as last bb season. We used to talk about his plans to return to the islands, and his favorite eating places in Honolulu. He would talk about his daughter, who was his closest family. I hope and know the team will give him an appropriate send-off. Aloha, Coach Thomas!

UBUFF makes 7-straight FGs, leads the Kitties 20-14 early.

If PCCC played against everyone in the MAC the way they play versus us, they would be the second-best team in the league. Again I have to say, like after the OU game, we played like crap, and very nearly emerged victorious. #MoralVictory?

We have a discrepancy between the score on TV, and on GoZips Gametracker. 4 point difference! Tracker has Kent 50-45 vs 48-47.
Now 51-49. Think that's right.

Thanks Meghan Meeker. Best mascot video ever! Especially for Buckzip.

Believe it was 1997. EMU vs #9 Duke. Hurons won, pretty sure.
Edit: Response to Dr Z, Last time a MAC team was a #8 seed.
-
We only won by six. Not gonna look good to the bracketologists! Damn!
-
Catch THIS -- We've made 11 of our last 12 FG attempts, yet are still only shooting 41% for the game. Only BD shooting above 50%.
-
We don't need no stinkin' Don Cockroft! We got a Big Dog with about 6 field goals this half alone!
-
Well, it looks like we may just #LuckOut again tonight vs Toledo. Those 14-3 runs late in the second halves will do that!
edit: Um, make that 17-3 and building...

The announcers said that Big Dog is the grandson of Walter Johnson, of the Browns. Interesting, around 1968 or 69 he came to our Frat house and gave a (paid) presentation.
That kid certainly has the big size gene!
One tough SOB! Big Walter lost part of a finger from frost bite suffered in a game in Green Bay.
-
Is there a video of the final six seconds, after Ball State's last FG? We went the length of the floor...Big Dog was fouled and made the second of two FTs. Then...we stole the in-bounds throw?? I'd love to see those 6 ticks. Must have taken a while to play out. smh!

Apparently not - according to Zips MBB ESPN was confused and as of this moment even the game flow in the ESPN story shows Ball State winning.
Yeah, well ESPN was just relaying the info received via the Akron sideline team. The Gametracker computer program is operated by a person employed by UA, and that is what made me think we had lost!
-
Holy crap!!! Am I the only one who got tricked by the Gametracker that showed the game going final with Ball State winning 63-62??? I just got home and opened my phone to see how we squandered such a hard-to-lose ballgame. Hallalujah! And Mahalo Big Dog! Oh, this is so incredible.

Having 13 rebounds is not a poor game.
The saving grace!
Sometimes you just can't buy one!
