Blue & Gold

I do love the MAC Tourney, but it only lasts one week & makes the 2+ months of the regular season essentially meaningless Wouldn't it be more fun to get butterflies before every conference game?

You might be right.

Former Ellet star Braeon Brady is currently in JUCO but has given a verbal to UH.

Dambrot should (and will) be allowed to coach as long as he likes & go out on his own terms. But KD's not getting any younger & should start thinking about a succession plan. The timelines should converge quite nicely to bring Dru Joyce III in as our next head basketball coach

Quite possibly. Big Mike: 6'9" Jayden Sayles: 6'9" (though I wouldn't be surprised if he comes in at 6'10" this summer) Olojakpoke: 6'8" Isaiah Williams: 6'7" Crazy to think about. I really hope we kick our away non-conference schedule up a couple notches.

I think Big Mike is a key to next year's success. It's a shame he was injured and basically totally wasted a year of eligibility & development. We'll be smaller, but more athletic next year with the additions of Eric Parrish (6'6" wing) & Isaiah Williams (6'7" wing/PF). PG: Noah / Antino / TDM 2G: Ivey / Josh W: Utomi / Parrish PF: Williams / Olojakpoke C: Hughes / Sayles I really hope we try to play a more up-tempo game next year. I thought we were a much better team this year when we'd push the ball up the court. IMHO it's always better to try to get a bucket before the defense is set. Gonna be a learning curve next season adapting the offense to the post-Big Dog era.

Those articles are hilariously presumptious. Just because Dambrot is on USF's short list doesn't mean USF is at all interesting to Dambrot.

Welcome to the family! Thanks for posting!

We should be all over Pete like I'm sure we were all over Jayvon Graves. Riiiiiight? ? It's one thing if we lose out on Pete to Florida. But losing out on Jayvon to Buffalo? Let's go KD, show them recruiting chops & sign Pete.

Welcome to the board! Glad you're chipping in

Following the game I had a very brief text conversation w/ a kid who's a senior in high school who's going to Akron next year. He's learning quickly... Him: "Are you watching the MAC Championship?" Me: "Yeah, I watched it :/" Him: "Seems like that happens every year." Me: "Tell me about it :/" Broken record. Get used to it, bro.

We're tired, unmotivated & going to likely be hitting the road. We're gonna take our last and final L on Tuesday night to be put out of our misery.

B.I.N.G.O. Winner, winner chicken dinner. And losing Graves to Buffalo is "Yuuuuuuuge. It really is." Graves was exactly... exactly... EXACTLY... the kind of guard Akron's needed for years.

Being a mid-major is a tough gig.

Well, K.ent played a very good game. Big Dog was great. Hall's almost as good as Dog. Jaylin Walker had a great game, big props to him. I wish them well; they're representing the conference. The Q was packed; looked great on tv. Zips played like crap... again. We should have lost way more often than we did this year, but we won by the skin of our teeth on a number of occasions. Won't beat good teams that way, though, and K.e.nt is a good team. Again, I'm disappointed, yeah. To be sure. But K.e.nt deserved to win and we did't.

The 40.8-to-34.6 rebounding edge to KSUcks is worrisome. Gotta want it tonight, Zips!

KSUcks is hot right now. They've won 8 of their last 9, with their lone loss over that stretch being to the good guys. Let's make them 8-10 w/ 2 losses to the Zippers!

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, John

Hustle Belt article.

What was interesting for me is last night's game really opened my eyes to how much I personally hate Ohio. I found myself hands-down pulling for K.e.nt last night! That shows that, for me at least, Ohio is our #1 rival. But our rivalry with K.e.nt is probably far more important as we're both battling it out for the hearts (and students) of the same market. Go Zips!!!

Weigh in on this, fellas.
