Tim O'Shea. He was Ohio's coach in the early to mid 00s and left for Bryant. BobcatAttack started the trend of "TOS to _____" for coach openings.

Bowen Hardman's family member posted a nice message in the Zips Fan Facebook group, thanking ZipsNation.

Akron, UMass, and Miami could become something special. Miami is getting the new arena and as long as they retain Steele, they'll be competitive.

I think the Kent State education is starting to get to Pinky.

And even then, they still had to wake up and smell themselves.

Hard to sneak up when you possess nearly every quality found in a Cinderella/Bracket Buster. Outstanding guards, athletic roster, and depth. Not to mention Groce has been there done that.

Jeff Goodman: Most likely double digit seeds to make the Sweet Sixteen

We are back with another year of the ZipsNation Bracket Challenge, yet again featuring the Zips in the bracket. If you have participated in the past, I just sent out an alert that the group is now active, so feel free to create your bracket. For those who are new, click here to join. It is 100% free. The only thing we play for is pride. The scoring is Standard Points + Seed. Each round is worth X number of points, and picking the correct winner in that round results in a final point total of that team's seed + round points. i.e. Sweet Sixteen is 4 points, so if you have a 4 seed winning in the Sweet Sixteen, it's 4+4=8 total points (Kent fans had to use their toes for that one). Never forget: no matter how bad your bracket turns out, you'll still never be as big a failure as a Kent fan. Good luck & Go Zips!

No they can't. MLB gave them the finger after ESPN tried to decrease the cost of their media deal. ESPN is drowning in its NBA deal.

This is an interesting chart. Villanova apparently likes to shoot it from Chattanooga, Arizona really is a post/paint team, and Akron loves the top of the arc. I'd love to see our chart back in January; it'd probably look a lot different.

I hope every single one of these suits involved with the NCAAT and NIT had their Cheerios peed in this morning.

So because there are other problems, we should let this problem go unaddressed? The consolidation of wealth & power in the NCAA is BS. We're talking about jerking around with people's lives. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Imagine being 18-24 years old, you played your asses off all season, had a lot of success, and you miss out on participating in one of the greatest sporting events in the world because some arrogant suits want to make sure their chairman gets his $100k bonus check. I'd imagine the Morgantown & Boise businesses would appreciate some fight on this, since they are set to lose out big time on people being out and about for watch parties and what not. Elitist corruption has run rampant in this country for far too long, and the NCAA is a huge culprit.

Boise State needs to get in on this.

Again, this game will come down to our shot making.

These are the types of things that make him an elite coach. Most coaches would've panicked and called the TO. Imagine if he calls a timeout there once Lyles gets the rebound.

The evil part is it's not flawed; it's working exactly as intended.

San Jose State also got in with a 175 NET (Miami is 147 for comparison).

Our old pal Wistrcill is on the selection committee.

Criminal that he's allowed to be the chairman considering his AD contract specifically pays out for NCAA tourney appearances.

In 2007, Akron was snubbed by the NIT after losing in the MAC title game to Miami OH via the Penno shot. Talk about poetic justice 18 years later. Akron wins the MAC title over Miami OH on a last second layup and Miami proceeds to get snubbed by the NIT. 😂😂😂

Adding to this, Akron is top 10 in 3PA and 3PM per game. Arizona is in the 300s for "allowed" in both categories. This game is literally all about making our shots. Arizona will not be able to keep up if we do.
