Can't State goes down to Southern Utah - the Thunderbirds whose mascot also is a bird with teeth - 83-79.

Scott Nagy is one heck of a coach.

Which is a huge reason for Groce to stay at Akron. He can build something special here.

Imagine Toledo losing Tod K after choking their best opportunity to win the MAC in 40 years.

Money line. Confidence.

I forgot if this was mentioned by Groce or where I saw this, but it has to do with athleticism & speed. Michael Wynn has been productive on the boards and the offense isn't bogged down. If it ain't broke, don't fix it (although I do foresee Aziz getting some minutes again UCLA).

Balls.

This. And I think Guthrie/Dr. Miller are building something that Groce would want to be part of.

"Akron" Any other answer is wrong. I said so.

We have the best board in the MAC (probably one of the best in the country). Happy to do this for ZipsNation.

One day & 4 hours left to join and complete your bracket. There are 3 people who joined and haven't completed their bracket.

99.9% sure ADs always go to these types of events, even if they aren't participating.

I think their forums were made when Bill Walton was their Center and John Wooden was their coach. The nostalgia helps them relive their glory days from decades ago to hold onto some relevancy in the P5 world.

I tried reading that site the other night. Excuse my Can't State, but WTF is that 💩? @Captain Kangaroo @Dr Z You guys spoil us with ZN.o.

X and Carry is going to be fun next year. His effort level on the defensive end of the floor added probably 16-20 phantom points to his point total. Man was he fun to watch. @LZIp We go from 2.5 true guards on this team to 5-6 next year. I think the backup point guard position is already taken care of with the influx of talent and Clarke's development.

No wonder Pinky's moral compass is all jacked.

Allegedly. Probably would've played at Florida A&M.

I like to think of myself as somewhat of a motivational speaker. I'm going to sleep well at night thinking that they heard me, made a diss track about me, and proved me wrong. (The way they were playing back then, Groce's top Google search was Transfer Portal)

Eff Ali Ali, right? 😉

Playing at Ohio State instead of the JAR keeps me up at night more than Houston.

All of a sudden there's a log jam at guard. I think one of the redshirt guards and/or Kalle could be candidates for transferring out. If that WVU center was on campus, Groce isn't done constructing this roster. I expect 1 or 2 new TP players on this roster next year.

His 23(?) in the Title game was the quietest 23 pts I've ever seen from a big. I actually have zero issue with the song. If Akron had a F Kent song, it would probably be my most listened to song if I could get my hands on it. I love the hate. The issues with the song extend to 1) the video getting out and 2) all the antics/showboating on the court. If Can't players played that song in the locker room then went out and simply took care of business without Carry prancing down the floor, without stirring it up with Akron students, without Singletary playing with a week old OVI, etc., this would've been a much smaller issue. I don't believe the players were suspended for the video as much as they were the video being the final straw before someone had to take action regarding Senderoff's program. The Jacobs comments were respectable, but how about taking a kid like that and NOT promoting all the other antics around the team? Doesn't sound like the environment did Jacobs any favors, and that's on Pinky. Their fan board echoed similar sentiments, that the off-the-court crap is old, especially with the mediocre on-the-court results.

I didn't think it was a slam on Groce. The regular season is largely meaningless and truly is practice for the postseason.

There we go. When a program needs cleaned up, send em to Mormon country.
