1. These adjustments/changes/corrections are all things Dambrot & co. don't do well, if at all. We had the same exact offense at the beginning of the season as we did at the end. 2. Everyone did have us figured out. Hence the plenty of close games and lack of blow outs against a horrific MAC this year. We were simply more skilled than every team in the MAC, including Can't - they beat on us on pure heart/desire/effort. 3. I'd reach out to the NCAA on this one. Until they modify the automatic bids to include the regular season champion AND the tournament champion, every season will rest completely on the results of one game on a Saturday in early March.

Open a dictionary, and locate the word insanity. The example is see Dambrot. The same schedule. The same game plans. The same offense. The same player development, or lack thereof. The same big game losses. The same disappointment. I'm not saying we fire him now, but something needs to change. The schedule, the staff, something.

Seems to be a common theme throughout Dambrot's tenure. I wonder if his pregame speech involved reminding the team that they have an NIT ticket in their back pocket to fall back on. They played like it. Tonight really kicked a supportive fan base in the crotch. That was a HOME game at The Q. It's not too often we out man the Can't fan base, especially by that much. And the team did not show any semblance of caring. Pitiful.

Broken ankles, broken dreams. Josh has been an unsung hero so far with his effort on loose balls, rebounds, etc.

Can't State sucks.

Down by 3 after that garbage? Sadly, I'll take it. Hopefully this ends up like 2013.

Akron is playing Kent's game - we aren't very good at it.

15 minutes til lineups are announced, and there seems to be a much stronger Akron contingent. If this holds, we'll done, Zips Nation.

I'd like to see a traffic jam with that wagon train because they lose a Wagon Wheel. This game is going to come down to our guard play. I predict Hall will get his, but Big Dog outplaying Hall would be a nice bonus. Regardless, our guards are fresher and we are much deeper at guard as well. They need to create turnovers and hit their shots. Simple as that. We are the much better team. Prove it. The usual issue with us vs. Can't is they usually want it more.

Assuming this is the "fired coaches" thread as I did before when posting about Cooper... Illinois has fired John Groce after 5 seasons.

Vermont doesn't deserve anything more than a 15 seed after fouling a 3 pt. shooter with .5 seconds left while up by 4.

Line opens up with Akron -4.

Can't also played that OT game on Monday against CMU. Their 5 starters played more than 30 minutes, with their main 4 playing 40+.

Lots of "3s" when it comes to this game. Third time Akron/Can't have met for MAC Title Game. Third time for Akron/Can't this season. So I figured I'd do a 3-part continuous, connecting Haiku... Here we go again Akron and Can't meet again Dancing shoes await Kent's last dance - '08 10 points scored in the first half Wow does Can't State suck Fast-forward to now It is 11:03 And Can't State still sucks

The last time Can't was in the MAC Championship game.

For the OU/Can't game...

See you at The Q tomorrow night!

Finish them!

I'm an Akron fan, but I root for Louisville, Kentucky, and Indiana. I know that is something none of those fan bases can understand. Gotta extend this lead here. Antino's energy is HUGE right now.

Defense wins championships. Nice defensive effort here.

Letting them hang around so we can have another Titanic theme song moment. Not exactly what I want.

MAC Refs are gonna MAC Ref... Mediocre. Ass. Conference. MAC.

Miami (OH) fires John Cooper.

The goal has to methodically blow Ball State out so we can rest our bigs at the end of the game. Need to stop with the quick 3's and get open ones, or pound the rock inside.

EXCELLENT ball movement to start the game. And that's crap that Persons is playing. I wonder if MAC/NCAA will investigate.
