And the Zips force a timeout!

Go Zips!!

To do that, they need to make sure they get good looks. Move the ball around and don't force shots.

It's easy to want more when you lose in the first round, but for a team that was picked to finish last in the MAC - quite the season!

With the current team plus next year's incoming class, I'm hoping Groce would be here at least a few more years.

I'm see the same thing on gozips.com. I'm running Safari on a mac.

The bar is set so low right now, it wouldn't take that big of an effort on the ABJ's part to get the coverage improved.

Completely agree. While it makes a nice run if you win, it's not a path you want every year.

Are you sorry? Yes... sorry we got caught

In 2009, we were the 5 seed. We beat #4 Miami, #1 BG, and #3 Buffalo.

In 2011, we were the 6 seed. We beat #3 Miami, #2 Western Michigan, and #1 Kent.

Not getting a lot of love from Jay Bilas. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/insider/story/_/id/33497726/jay-bilas-picks-every-single-game-2022-ncaa-men-basketball-tournament Akron played Ohio State to a one-point game early this season and should have won. But the Zips are ranked outside of the top 100 in offensive and defensive efficiency, and that will not beat UCLA. Akron is ranked 321st in experience (1.2 years) in Division I. Ali Ali is the top scorer at 14.2 points per game, and Xavier Castaneda has hit 73 3s on 37.6% shooting. But John Groce's team is not quite ready to take down the Bruins.

Ali's got the tools, but he would need to make some strides over the next year or two. Whether he makes it or not, it's nice to be able to have the discussion.

They did not listen to me. 9:50 PM start time?

Yes, she did.

Please, no 9:57 PM start time.

Are they going to be in Portland?

Last region...

As of the 5:40 PM update on ESPN, we are still a 14 seed playing Wisconsin.

How many of us thought we'd be in this position after losing three straight games almost a month ago? I'll admit that I didn't. At the time, the team wasn't playing well and was struggling against the bottom teams in the conference. It's amazing to see how this team has adapted and grown in less than a month. And Groce...he's a magician in March.

What's that old saying... "Act like you've been there before."

The last time we won the tourney it was over Ohio (2013). The victory over Kent was 2011 - but still a good comparison.

Lunardi has Akron as a 14 seed playing Wisconsin in Milwaukee.

Very similar to the 2013 championship game where the Zips stifled DJ Cooper.

I'm guessing either 13 or 14.
