Can't State is a rivalry game which holds a big home court advantage...did that loss really shock you? APB was a win, so was Toledo...maybe they weren't pretty, but are we really complaining about wins???? Come on, we're better than that.I think his point is that we've had bad games and it's getting old. We want to move on to bigger and better things, but we're sucking at the average right now.I'm not saying it's not frustrating. But the top programs in the country have fans that are there every game, no matter how the team is playing. You guys all talk on and on about becoming a top program in the nation, then hold up you're end of the bargain, don't start jumping ship after ONE bad loss.I'm not jumping ship. I get in fights with kids at my school who tell me Akron sucks. I'm not completely down. I just said I'm not looking forward to the game.

But you know, when you lose a game by two or three points, and you leave your starting point guard sitting on the bench in street clothes, someone's judgement has to be questioned.It's Dambrot. School comes first. I back Dambrot 100% on the decision.

I hear ya, I'm not looking forward to the NIU game either.

IF we were to win the MAC tournament, a win here might take us from a '13' to a '12' seed in Spokane. With the lost to EMU, I don't think this will help us much. Last I checked, Bracketology had Central winning the MAC as a 16 seed.

now that the lady zips are winning, maybe we can start getting more people to come out to the games. I've been saying it for the last year, that the program is turning around and that they are going to shock alot of people.My dad wants to start buying season tickets for women's, too. I LOVE Coach Kest and the way she's turned this team around. Good for the Zips.

This is good to hear. Temple is awesome! Can't wait for the CSU rivalry to start back up again. The Las Vegas tourney seems better than a lot of preseason tourneys we've been. Good job KD. Keep up the good work!

Should be an easy sell, Rob isn't going anywhere anytime soon.Except bowling, hopefully....

National Championship, but I would also like to beat a meaningful team in the first round of the NCAA tourney because basketball is still more watched than soccer (in America).

I also agree. I was listening to 850 yesterday and they were talking about OSUcks' scheduling. They mentioned how Pete Carroll at USC became known for playing anyone anywhere. Gonzaga is kind of the same way. I think we need to start playing meaningful schools (not YSU's or St. Francis's) on the road. I've said this all along: to be an NCAA tourney team, you have to schedule like one. We'll get Can't at our place. GO ZIPS!

My thing about Ianello is he is a recruiter more than anything. You can't coach god given talent, but you can recruit which is something we've been missing IMO. He's got a good staff around him to help him out. He's from Notre Dame so he had to learn something there. I'm with Captain and I'm giving him the BOD.

Not to mention, it could end up being for the MAC East like the game @ Can't was a few years ago when J-Wood made the game winning lay-up.

I don't have the picture of the sign, but that sign was the FAILURE sign right?FAILURE! When your best just isn't good enough, again, and again, and again!

This will be the first time in a few years that I will not be able to go to the game @ Can't, but I'm so glad it's on TV. Akron 74Can't StateCKS 53.13 will be ejected 11 minutes into the game.Can't creamed Buffalo, but listening to the announcers and such, it seemed like Can't did what Buffalo did to us: GOT VERY HOT! Buffalo also seemed very cold and short tempered. Should be a fun game at the MACC.

all i can say is that it took U at canada to play their best game of the year and probably one of our worst games for them to beat us by only 13. Regaurdless the score we had it down to 2 posessions a few times in the late second half. IM sure KD and the boys will be ready for them when the make the trip to THE UofAPlus, I doubt Pierce will go for 31 again and Smiley is that hot again. Let's beat Miami and continue to prove we are one of the best, if not the best, in the MAC.

He looks like an All-American safety with the visor. Welcome Holmes!

I'll be there in spirit (I have a game of my own). Can't State sucks!

So we all still agree that CAN'T STATE STILL SUCKS!?

Plus you can get internet feed pretty much anywhere. I like that.

... and has missed multiple 2 handed dunks, but I'll give him the BOD and give him a C+.

+1That game ranks up there with the Nevada and Dayton games. Sure the crowd wasn't the largest it could be, but it was into the game! That's how you generate excitement. Nobody cares if you beat Malone or St. Francis. We just proved that we are an improved team from a year ago. We did something that Boston College, an ACC team, couldn't do: we held them under 70. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm proud of this team. They came out and fought hard and just plain old fell short. My high school coach told me that the varsity basketball team lost because shots didn't fall, but they didn't walk off the court saying they got out hustled or out hearted and neither should the Zips. Let's win the MAC and make some noise in the NCAA tourney! Oh, and here's a major bright side:

Huh, wonder why Speas wasn't on any of those teams. Congrats guys! Santa Barbara next year!

+1

I blame the guy that put the Penno/Miami celebration image on the big board. He finally took it off before the foul shot after getting so many boos at him. The worst part about that was Cedrick Middleton was at the game tonight. My main issue with this game (besides the refs) was our lineup. We were struggling on the boards and yet Dambrot keeps Chris and Nik out there. Then Zeke gets tossed around like a salad. Where was Bardo or even Swiech?We have to start winning these games. We compete with OSUcks and CSUcks for fans and such, but how do you expect to compete when they are winning tourney games and beating ranked teams and we can't beat an almost ranked team? We're so close though. Our first hurdle when Dambrot first came here was to compete in the MAC again. Our second hurdle was to win the MAC. Now our third hurdle is to get the nation's attention with some wins. I will say this about the MAC part of the season, I think we can go undefeated and go 16-0 in the MAC.

Zips 73URI 59URI will score higher, but I want Tap House wings.
