Did Enfield lie to the tourney committee or is this gamesmanship?

I took all 3 bonus bets from DK & FD and threw it on SMU alternate spread (-8.5 to -9.5). Either my bank account benefits or Akron's bank account benefits from the credit split. Miami OH played 2 P4 teams last season with virtually the same roster (minus Ipsaro, Kraft, Cooper, and Potter). They lost to Michigan by 27 and Indiana by 19. SMU is a bigger, more skilled, and better shooting version of UMass and there won't be MAC refs. I will be truly shocked if this is a competitive game tonight.

I think the spread is all but guaranteed money. SMU is just a horrendous matchup for Miami OH. I love it. PROTECT THE DJ EQUIPMENT!

Does Dayton have an in-house DJ? If so, has he been warned about Travis Steele for tonight?

Fun finish at least.

Excuse you. Alexa Bliss is an athlete.

No problem! Took me a while to figure out how to get images and such posted due to the file size restrictions.

Seth Greenberg told Pat McAfee he likes Akron as one of 2 or 3 mid majors to win their 1st round matchup.

Agreed on all fronts. Unless he found the secret sauce at Clemson, he'll likely lengthen the MAC, keep EMU around 17 wins and sniff 20 every so often, while never truly threatening the top third. NIU hired a solid D2 coach from Northern Michigan and that's more the direction I thought EMU would go.

I've seen celebration highlights from Saturday night and Josh Henderson stood out as someone who looked really happy. Cody Head also looked like he was enjoying himself. I'm not saying others didn't, just that these two stood out. If Sharron returns to lead the backcourt, we'll be in good hands I think.

That was fun with Bud as a full episode guest. The story about the hats being made prior to the season makes that even more special as it becomes a symbol for "mission complete." 1000+ hats being sold is fantastic; imagine if they produced 3Peat shirts, too.

Oh my. Bruce bought it lol

Saw the same thing. Bio doesn't look fake per se but I can't tell if all his tweets are satire or not.

Rewatching the 14 minutes of the game. ESPN needs to figure out how to capture the crowd noise better. That place was so loud and you would never know watching on TV.

Something tells me Kowalchoke is enemy #1 at Akron right now.

They keep saying it'll be a home game for Miami OH. I won't believe it until I see a +20 Free Throw Attempt advantage for the Redhawks.

We haven't won a tourney game before - I'm all for mixing it up.

Miami OH losing put all the pressure on the Zips in Cleveland. They took their foot off the gas to seemingly conserve energy vs. Buffalo. Then they couldn't re-engage how they wanted and the offense struggled the rest of the tournament. Watching their shooting motions, they looked to be aiming. They weren't confident in their shots and were trying to be precise, hence why the majority of the shots were short. I do not expect the same type of performance in Tampa. Not saying they'll shoot lights out, but I expect a better flow and more confidence offensively.

88% of the money is on Akron ML.

~40% from 3P and we win this game. Maintain an up-tempo pace - run these guys out of the gym. They're not deep, they're not tall, and Akron is due. Play with confidence.
