Are we doing a ZN.o Bracket Challenge?

@Z.I.P. How much do you donate to the NCAA for them to send Akron closer to you?

Didn't Zippy beat Joe Bruin in the Capital One Mascot Challenge back in the day? I think she's going on another bear hunt...

UCLA! LET'S GO! Should be a later game meaning I can hopefully watch!

Wisconsin got Colgate. UCLA maybe?

Phew. We avoided Tennessee.

Go Lamont Paris!

Duke was thrown a bone. Snagged a 2 seed despite being the Ohio of the ACC (leaking oil down the stretch).

Out of likes so this is me looking both of these. 100% spot on.

I'm not gonna say I thought we'd be in this position, but I was thinking, "Just get us to Match so we can see what Groce does." Admittedly, and this deserves a public apologize, I was wrong about X, Ali, Clark, etc. They are more than welcome to don the Akron Blue & Gold for as long as they'd like. Amazing team.

Go Davidson.

That's 7 less ****s than what was in the Snapchat video.

Yeah... No thanks.

I was going to make a comment about their board, but refrained to keep the focus on Akron. But since you bring it up... The only place I've heard of such allegations against our fans is on their board. I might recall hearing something about a whistle being blown, but I really don't remember the specifics. I have heard our students have used all sorts of language against KSUcks players, and while I believe some of it should be cleaned up, it's still on KSUcks to have the discipline not to react how they do. I would imagine the Snapchat networks of these athletes are not small by any means. Only being 14 miles apart, the two circles are all but guaranteed to cross at some point. That's a quick & easy screen grab, and boom, it's out there. I laughed at their worries the Snapchat account was "hacked". Furthering their delusional discussion on the game, did anyone else think Akron played one of the cleanest basketball games they've ever seen? We had 7 team fouls, and while I would normally agree with KSUcks claims that only 7 team fouls is extremely suspect, during & rewatching the game I only saw maybe 2 more fouls on Akron that could've been called? Jacobs' absence was largely a non-factor. Akron shot 52.6% from 3 and 52.1% from the field. PCCC was not beating that type of efficiency, no matter who played the full game or how many fouls were called. They got their butts whooped, and are having a hard time accepting that. They can hug their Pinky & bird-with-teeth plushes and rock back & forth in a corner with rage while Akron finds out where we'll be dancing here in a couple of hours.

The alley oop to Freeman at the end was such a sweet moment. Then the 3 by Ali to make it 20. Then the missed layup by Carry to keep it at 20. This entire game was a big Can't State Sucks.

It makes total sense why Trimble was such a detriment to our trap style of defense. If one person isn't committed, it really doesn't work.

I turned to my dad after his second or third attempt and said, "I love that he made one and feels confident. I also hate that he feels confident cause he's not a shooter." Also, his 4/4 free throws the other day were a miracle. Just reached the point in the replay where Carry skipped all the way down the court. What a special human he is.

Love this. This is our diss track. It's called Class.

Watching thereplay this morning. 1) Ironic that PCCC's long sleeve shirts say "NO QUIT" when the guy that posted the video (Johnson) reportedly went home when given the option to run or go home earlier in the season. 2) How was Davis not called for a flagrant foul when he threw X to the ground by his face on Santiago's 3? 3) Not sure where the announcers received their press notes (probably KSUcks), but they completely downplayed the entire story of the video by saying it was a freestyle rap. It was a legitimate, pre-recorded track that everyone knew the words to. 4) Carry was awful all night. X really deserves a lot of props for how he played and handled Carry's annoying self. He is my least favorite KSUcks player ever - and I'm not sure it's even close. Potentially more thoughts to come although I'm at 18-18 and it was basically all good from here on out. 😏

I say you make a Zips NCAA Tournament thread like you did for the MAC Tournament. Why limit it to just one game? 😉

Thank you @Illini Zip. It's already been announced. Cayman Islands. MUCH better. https://caymanislandsclassic.com/

LCJ on Twitter last night... "Yes them boys need to head back to the studio! #1Akron"

Hamilton is a Senior, the mean/median level of bone headedness in the program shifts more in favor of Carry/Jacobs after this season.

Last thought of the night. Don't let KSUcks fans use Jacobs' suspension as an excuse. He comes in for the second half, the game gets down to a 1 pt game, then Akron pushes it out to a 14 point lead from there and it never again dropped below. Akron owned Can't State all night (except for the first few minutes of each half). Jacobs and Insincere are juniors. Next year will be fun (not to look past the NCAA Tournament this year - WHICH WE'RE DANCING IN!)
