All day Ali! All day!

THAT'S AN OFFENSIVE FOUL ALL DAMN DAY! ABSOLUTELY F THE MAC AND THEIR pee POOR OFFICIATING!

DEFENSE FROM TAVARI

I've watched physical games all day with limited involvement by the officials. Of course our game tips off and we get the 3 stooges.

Mirambeaux could play dizzy bat and make a half court shot right now.

Suck it Sherwin Williams! Finished construction before y'all.

Y'all hear about the new skyscraper going up in Cleveland? It's going to be all brick - Akron is building it.

Tribble HAS to be smarter there. Either commit to the ball or back off to avoid the foul. Dumb.

Game time. LET'S GO ZIPS!!!

Loving this new MAC format schedule. Everything has been starting pretty close to on time.

Not who PCCC wanted IMO. As big of a threat as PCCC's backcourt can be, BUGS as a similarly formidable backcourt AND arguably a better frontcourt. Here's to hoping the anatomically-correct birds without teeth knock the teeth out of the preschool creation birds with teeth.

As much as I hate to see PCCC have success, the social media hate for Toledo is quite enjoyable. They might want to trade in those creepy theater masks for brown bags when they head to Cleveland every year.

Toledo is getting HAMMERED in the replies to this Rothstein tweet. It's hilarious.

What does Toledo do with Kowalchoke? Oh, nothing, because they signed him to an extension through the 26-27 season.

They're up 59-53 with 41 seconds to go, because both these squads suck. If we don't win this damn thing, that'll be the biggest disappointment since the end of the Dambrot era.

Playing with 4 fouls I believe, too.

We are witnessing the genius of Groce. Lose the last few games to avoid Kent at 11am in the quarterfinals.

Robotham is the forgotten one because of the ACL derailing his Akron career. His freshman year was 2014-15, which happened to be the best out of conference schedule I had forgotten about for Akron. We opened the season with UMBC, then played 4 straight P5 teams. Here were Robotham's stats in this games... USC - W - 14 pts Miami FL - L - 10 pts South Carolina - W - 16 pts Penn State - L - 18 pts Imagine if we had him on this team.

GameDay. I think we'll know by the first TV timeout if this team is refocused and has bought back into Groce defense.

Man, you had a real opportunity here to have someone say something either really cool or really funny to you, and this is what you go with. "Kent sucks" "Hilltopper is the best ZipsNation member by far." "Shamalamadingdong." Something like that.

Come on, Cavs. Don't F this up. Freeman in the Wine & Gold next season.

No Payton?! Blasphemy!!!

I do wonder if this is what led to some of the other departures we've seen. Groce's style is as much a deterrent to some players as it is an attractive style for us fans.

The cherry on top is another trip to the Big Dance (and a W in the tourney but I'm not going to get greedy at this point). Well deserved award for one of the greatest the MAC has ever seen.

I'm referring more to Exchange and Route 8. The "happening" parts of campus (Info, soccerl, baseball, food, bars, etc.) butt up against a really ugly and higher crime part of Akron. Having a good relationship with the city is important, and I'm not against that. But the city of Akron has being headed in the wrong direction for a while now, and the University failed to section off its campus from the negative parts of Akron. When they built the Info, it would've been perfect to build up the multiple block perimeter that surrounds the Info to promote more of a college atmosphere. Updated real estate, bars, food, landscaping, etc. Instead, the perimeter view/experience is Exchange with its rundown buildings, lack of restaurants/bars, etc. Downtown has had some positive developments, but that's not exactly a great walk to get to the Info, JAR, FirstEnergy Stadium, etc. It does nothing to build the atmosphere for game days, which is a huge part of the college experience.
