FloHoops is streaming the first couple of rounds. That's not a cheap stream.

I've created a ZipsNation.org bracket pool. Click here to enter. Free & Fun. FYI - scoring is exponential points (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32) + seed. i.e. If you take Akron and they beat UCLA, that's 1 pt for the 1st round correct pick, and 13 pts for Akron's seed for a total of 14 pts for getting that correct. Good luck & Go Zips! z.i.P.S. If you don't take Akron in Round 1, you're a Flushes fan.

I'm in the process of making one. I'll create a new thread for it.

Selfishly love the 9:50pm start time, as I'll be able to watch it.

Toledo vs. #1 seed Dayton. Ouch. That's a location game. Toledo gets to host the game, though, because of Dayton's arena being used for the NCAA Play-In games. Cleveland State vs. #2 seed Xavier.

Toledo in the NIT (bracket announcement in 10 minutes) and we'll see who else chooses to participate in a postseason tournament.

Re: Location Any word on if Moorhead & Staff will be accompanying the basketball team for a combo/cost efficient west coast recruiting trip? 😉

A blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.

So they don't have anyone averaging a double-double? Advantage Akron.

I'd imagine covering the annual Nutcracker production doesn't provide enough to both put food on the table and allow him to enjoy Wicked. Why they haven't found a replacement for him? Pay, probably.

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.
