Not sure if this has been posted anywhere, but Fear the Roo Collective has a new hoodie. Just ordered mine. The vest I bought last year is top notch so I'm excited for the hoodie which is a New Era base. Pretty solid price, too, at $40. Go Zips!

Groce sat Eric. I hope Steele keeps playing Skaljac - that won't heal fully in time for the tourney.

Skaljac did an interview yesterday in a full brace/soft cast. Interesting.

Was about to post about this. Looks like Hardman is gearing up to graduate. Maybe the waiver decision will come later or it already has, but they're going to make sure he won't miss his moment to be celebrated.

The last thing said in that video clip: "Just about the only good thing going for them (Miami OH) is the 0 in the loss column." 🤣 The 54.3% in that graphic is really significant and they also said in the video that on a neutral court, they have Akron at 59% chance to win vs. Miami OH. Chickenhawks fans must hate that.

Crazy how long 15 years ago really was.

I'd rather CMU and EMU go ahead of WMU, but I will gladly go the efficiency route and vote to exile all Directional Michigans. Banish them all to the Horizon League.

Was looking at EvanMiya today and found it interesting that Akron has the top 3 rated BPR players in the MAC. Akron is also the 56th rated team according to their metrics, with Miami OH being 70th.

The seniors are going to be overshadowed by the celebration of this being our last ever conference game vs. NIU!

And take advantage of it. No letdowns next week.

Saving people a click into the cesspool that is Reddit... Somebody on the Miami message board paid for the sub and this is the list they gave: No available responses: Pittsburgh Wisconsin Marquette USC Sacred Heart Oregon Ohio State Mississippi State Florida Response(s) but no agreement: Michigan State UCLA Boise State Grand Canyon Kansas (“We’ll need to look at next year”) BYU Utah Illinois (“I need to get two high NET games 300+ before I would think about playing you.”) Virginia Tech Nebraska Not sure this helps Miami OH's case at all. I certainly hope it helps expose how stupid CBB scheduling is, but Miami OH's schedule is their own fault. We don't know what Miami OH wanted for terms - buy game, home & home, etc. - and after they failed with these schools, they turned around and scheduled 3 non DI teams and Wright State as their toughest controllable OOC opponent.

Buffalo has to lose for CMU to make it.

Bruce Pearl name drops Akron. I had a Miami OH honk on X get his sweater in a tizzy because he set up a GoFundMe to cover Steele's fine and I said it was an absurd thing to do. Very early in the exchange, he said that Akron wishes they were getting half the publicity that Miami OH's getting. I told him that almost every single conversation regarding Miami OH typically involves someone mentioning that Akron is probably the best team in the MAC, so thanks for the free publicity lol.
