who have dtv & get the sports pack....FYI

How would you measure an even game? It appears to me the only way to do that is measure fouls. I don't buy the theory, but this is the logic of the blame the refs crowd. If the only way to make a game evenly refed is to look at fouls, then the only way to have a fair game is to have an even number of fouls. This idea does not look at how one team might have outplayed another or one team doesn't perform the way it should. I happen to believe the Zips didn't perform up to their ability last night. The Zips lost, not the refs. It does a disservice to the Zips to blame anyone but them for the outcome last night. I think too much of this program to do that. perhaps you need to differentiate between being critical of poor officiating & blaming the outcome on said poor officiating

we beat miss st....cleve st defeats vandy....can't beats wvu...all on the road, all by dbl digits...in the immortal words of bart scott...."can't wait"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to get notes like this all the time from people on this board. Never responded. I got sick of the notices so I turned off my PM function.it doesn't bother me in the least....but something keeps urging me to teach morons like this a little life lesson

yw...ppl's stupidity never ceases to amaze

...and it reads...Dbag... FUCK YOUis this moron indicative of the ppl that populate this board?

You paying more attention in English class??Grammar smack is about as lame as it gets......sorry professor...apparently not everyone has the impressive IQ that you possess....his point it well takenthe team sucks, the coach is abysmal...and some posters are dbags

Absolutely, what an EMBARRASSMENT to see that on National TV. I don't want to even consider what anyone watching that game was saying about the University of Akron after seeing that. Yea, what's the deal with that!?!? TW needs to pull him to the side and have a little talk about how we look on the sidelines. I can live with the glasses, but man, keep stuff out of your pants, get some assistant to hold your papers. if anyone on this board thinks Icoach will ever lead a winning prgram is delusional....that gutless performance yesterday is just the begining.....the sooner he's gone...the better off the program will be..... additionally, i have never seen a qb so mechanical in his function at the position....

I thought the same thing. Not a Zips fan.lol learn how to take a joke.Two words: situational awarenessLighten up Francis.Two wordsOver reacting.I usually have your back on a lot of things, but that comment was about as bad as it gets. Why on earth would you want to crack the program when someone is expressing interest in bringing a player here? I guarantee he went running back to the kid and told him to stay the hell away from this program. If we can't help sell the program and the potential that it has, we are screwed. Our glorious record during the last several years isn't going to have recruits lining up to play at UA.Yes, I am certain you are correct. The whole scenario started out so believably. A high school coach wants to know what kind of offense a team runs so instead of contacting the appropriate coaching staff, the high school coach posts the question on a fan message board. Then reading that one poster on the message board had a negative comment about the college team, the coach rushes back to the recruit and warns him away from the college. This all makes perfect sense. I hope the coach didn't get injured by any crap falling from the flying pigs in this story.without a doubt there are some insecure dbags on this bd....whomever said situational awareness is dead on.....that's an application that works in nearly every life situation....

Yes - it always hurts when we lose a player with a torn ACL to an NAIA squad. the ZN resident dbag/unfunny smart ass chimes in with yet another waste if msg bd space....your massive insecruities are duly noted Thank you for not wasting "msg bd" space by spelling it out all the way. ah the dbags Lt. cks in...

I thought the same thing! i noticed VCU was the CBI tourney camp last yr

Wow..nice job being an ass. indeed....this clown seems to enjoy making wise cracks on a msg bd rather than actually saying anything of substance...nothing else to do?

dude, can the condascending tone....as for your question...i have no clue, but you never know here's your sign. whatever that means....if you wanna contribute pls do so,....if you wanna act like a douche...take it somewhere else

http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball...nage-to-survive CHICAGO -- A No. 15 seed can beat a No. 2 seed. It won't happen every year or even every decade, but it can happen. It has happened. A No. 15 seed has beaten a No. 2 seed four times in the NCAA tournament. Could have been five. Could have been Friday when Akron played Notre Dame. And I don't mean that in a cosmic sense -- that on any given day, any team can beat any other team. I'm not talking philosophical gobbledygook. I'm talking about Akron finding a way to squeeze off 17 more shots than Notre Dame on Friday, but missing most of them. I'm talking about Notre Dame's uncharacteristically sloppy ball-handling, which produced 14 turnovers. I'm talking about a rare mediocre game for Big East Player of the Year Ben Hansbrough. I'm talking about second-seeded Notre Dame's 69-56 victory against No. 15 Akron. The Irish played poorly, frenetically. They were ripe for the upset but had the good fortune -- nothing more -- of running into an Akron team that picked the worst possible day to play its worst possible game. "I don't know what to say about what just happened," Akron center Zeke Marshall said. "I don't have an explanation." And even if he did, it wouldn't make sense. How do you make sense of Marshall, a 7-footer who shot 52.4 percent from the floor this season and was at least four inches taller than any Notre Dame player, missing 11 of his 13 shots? Almost all of them from point-blank range? Starting with a dunk on his first touch? You can't explain it. You can't explain 6-6, 245-pound scoring machine Brett McKnight -- 10.3 ppg in just 18 minutes -- jumping over or bulling past Notre Dame defenders for 12 shots and missing nine of them. Or leading scorer Nikola Cvetinovic (11.9 ppg) shooting two air balls. This was a missed opportunity for Akron, but it was a message for Notre Dame. And it was a message the Irish received. "We're going to have to do a better job of playing our game," said Notre Dame forward Tyrone Nash. "At halftime Coach [Mike Brey] asked us what game we were playing, because it wasn't Notre Dame's game." It certainly wasn't the kind of game that Notre Dame had been playing since mid-January, when the Irish won 12 of 13 in Big East play to rocket into contention for a No. 1 seed. The Irish are offensively efficient, defensively intense and tenacious on the backboards, but they were none of those through 30 minutes -- clinging to a 49-44 lead with less than 9½ minutes left because Akron just wasn't playing well enough to make them pay. "I'm glad the halftime was 20 minutes, because we needed all of it just to kind of ratchet our blood pressure down a little bit," Brey said. Said Hansbrough: "A lot of guys were excited to play in the NCAA tournament, and we lost our focus -- especially me. Every time I got the ball in the first half, I wanted to score. I did a better job running the team in the second half." Marginally. Hansbrough tried nine shots in the first half (making four) -- but then tried just two in the second half, both by necessity at the end of the shot clock. Hansbrough finished with 15 points and six assists, but his game is somewhere between the extremes of each half, when he went from being the team's first scoring option to its last. Tim Abromaitis and Eric Atkins provided the offensive efficiency the Irish needed to nullify Akron's enormous advantage in field-goal attempts (64 for Akron, 47 for Notre Dame). Going a combined 5 for 7 from 3-point range, Abromaitis and Atkins combined to score 22 points on just 10 shots from the floor. Carleton Scott provided the interior defense and rebounding, grabbing 14 rebounds -- all on the defensive end -- and adding three blocked shots and six steals. And Scott Martin scored seven points in seven minutes early in the second half, when Notre Dame was otherwise vulnerable. "We were out of sync at times," Abromaitis said. "We have to clean it up a little bit, but it was good to get this game in. We were able to play through some issues, and now we're ready for whoever comes next." Whoever it is, it won't be as undermanned as Akron. And maybe this should be said, too: Whoever it is probably won't get the same swallowed whistle that Akron got. The Zips went to the line a season-low six times, compared to 26 free throws for Notre Dame. Friday was a day to survive, and Notre Dame did it. But there's nothing but big-boy basketball from here on out for the Irish. Play like they did Friday, and they can expect to get spanked. And that's not what I noticed. That's what the Notre Dame coach noticed. "I'm glad we won," Brey said. "We're in that mode of surviving and advancing. We'll watch some film of [our] forced offensive possessions, because if we have too many forced [possessions] on Sunday, we'll be done."

Sophomore center Zeke Marshall has been instrumental to the success of the Akron Zips this season, providing the team with size and defense inside. Standing 7'0" and weighing 218 pounds, he has managed to post averages of 8.6 points (52.4 percent shooting), 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 blocks—all in only about 22 minutes per contest. Nevertheless, his play has helped Akron earn a No. 15 seed in the Southwest Regional, where it will have a tough matchup against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. However, should the Zips emerge victorious from that contest, Marshall would instantly be on many NBA teams' radars, as players with his combination of size, length and athleticism are few and far between. Therefore, if Akron can get something going, he should be a strong candidate for the 2011 NBA draft. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/636035-...en-curry#page/8 don't shoot the messenger!
