Sorry, I was just thinking, "What if Groce, the coach of AKRON, got the benefit of the doubt during a 6 game losing streak, losing 10 of their last 13 in a very down conference?" Reading the Duquesne board, the Dukes aren't finishing strong, emulative at times of Dambrot's time at Akron. Meanwhile, Akron has become stronger as we've approached the end of the season with a much more depleted roster, and the Dambrot/Duquesne supporters on this board struggle to give Groce any support/positive remarks.

When your vets can't make a shot in the second half if their lives depended on it, all the while making boneheaded mistakes, questions are easily answered. There were a few questionable coaching decisions, but we had our opportunities to make baskets and didn't.

And with the shot clock violation, I'll quote my own post.

Big big BIG 3 by Utomi.

It's embarrassing how careless our veterans our.

Miami started to turn it up at the end of the first half. We haven't necessarily dropped our effort level, but we aren't moving the ball on offense. And Bo Borowski has officially showed up. Awful and-1 call.

Love how the Zips are playing.

When's the last time Bo officiated an Akron game?

Dix Stadium is bad enough in comfortable fall weather, let alone in winter weather. I'm in favor of moving the @ Akron game up, but the @ Can't game either moves up as well or doesn't move at all. I still don't understand scheduling Morgan State, but I'm glad the game on my wedding day isn't one I'll be bummed to miss. Haha. As for the rest of the schedule, it works for me. I see 6 MAC wins at least, with the 2 question marks being NIU & CMU. Let's Go Zips!

Most schools are stepping stones compared to UCF. They might not be OSU when it comes to athletics, but they're one of the biggest schools in the country, which is more important for this type of role. I agree on his character, but I don't think that's ever been in question. He's an all-around great person.

I said after Buffalo DESTROYED us that I wasn't impressed with Buffalo due to their inability to make shots and put away a PATHETIC Zips squad that day within the first 5 minutes of the game. They've proven me right. Miami is the shock of the MAC this year with their strong competitiveness, and I'm excited for tomorrow's game.

I really like that we have balance sheets now. I think that is fascinating. I understand for audit purposes you'd want everything to be transparent, but since the programs are already breaking the rules, I'm surprised they didn't do more to cover up where the funds are going.

I concur. I'm ok with the losses as long as the effort is there; wins are that much better, too. Additionally, I think we've seen much better ball movement and defense.

Good vibes again for Saturday! Redhawks are ripe for a letdown after their big win against Buffalo.

What a shame.

Our only road win this season has come against them. I'll take my chances.

I don't think there's automatic bias. There are certain refs that do truly seem to have a bias against Akron. Not sure if Zippy peed in their cheerios years ago (she's a cheeky marsupial) or what, but guys like Weimer and Borowski (has he since gone full time Big Ten?) always give Akron the shaft.

Joke's on you. The MAC only has one way: suck. Yes, I hate our conference.

Gwalk-on 2 is Gbadebo. Yes, the G before walk is there on purpose.

So if the tournament were today, we'd play at BGSU in the first round? That's best case scenario if we're unable to get into position for a home game.

Don't Minnesotans prefer their bodies of water to be frozen?

A little bit. Made some mistakes, and then never saw the floor again. It's either they want him to learn by watching, or he's truly in the doghouse.

I believe I was the first one to start the positive vibes. You're welcome, ZipsNation.

BGSUcks! LET'S GO ZIPS!

I think KLac is getting used to fouling out.
